Skate Canada 2012 Ladies - Long Program (7:45 AM PST/10:45 AM EST)

175.16, very solid score

FlattFan · Oct 27, 2012

Suzuki skated enough to win. Don't think any of them left to skate can get over 115.

Kanako MURAKAMI (JPN)

Music: Oblivion by Astor Piazzolla
A fuego lento by Astor Piazzolla
Adios Nonino by Astor Piazzolla

Black sparkly dress w/ red skirt under.

3Lz - clearly flutz, perhaps UR
3Lo
3F - ok, but ugly hammer toe
StSq
LSp
3Lo+2Lo
3F+1A+SEQ
3S+2T+2Lo
3T
FSSp
ChSq
CCoSp

Another solid program, but I think she's prob getting som UR calls and fall behind Suzuki.

The funky thing she does with her right leg in her jump entrances really bugs me.

Mrs. P · Oct 27, 2012

Nice program from Murakami! Loved the interesting position in the sit spin. Will be interesting to see how this scores. Do feel she skates over the tango music a bit. Hope she builds it from there.

I agree but she will go ahead of Liza, almost certainly. I think this is the best I've seen her skate.

Bartek · Oct 27, 2012

Kanako was absolutely on fire. Strange technique on her jumps and sometimes long preparation but overall so solid.

Violet Bliss · Oct 27, 2012

1A after 3F is interesting.

Kanako Murakami (gorgeous)
FS scores: 111.83
Overall: 168.04

sequinsgalore · Oct 27, 2012

Murakami
Score: 111.83, total 168.04 and into 2nd

Rachmaninoff · Oct 27, 2012

I won't get to see this until later, but awesome for Akiko, and that's a damn high score. She could actually come from fifth to win this thing. One thing I like about the new scoring system. I hated how under the old system, it didn't matter how close it was between skaters; only the rankings mattered.

Macassar88 · Oct 27, 2012

Wow that's a slim margin!

burntBREAD · Oct 27, 2012

I really adore Ksenia's LP this year, too.

Mrs. P · Oct 27, 2012

111 ouch. Liza beats her. She must've gotten an edge calls....if she got some UR calls, I'd say it's a bit harsh.

Macassar88 · Oct 27, 2012

Why am I not surprised that Makarova is bombing?

Akiko is good at making comebacks. Remember at 2010 Worlds how she had a disaster in the short to pull off a great LP and move up 9 spots?

Bruin714 · Oct 27, 2012

Ksenia -- Hard fall on the double axel.

tulosai · Oct 27, 2012

Ksenia has some truly lovely qualities but she can never hold it together in a long program. Very sad.

I do admire the fact she is trying the lutz...but yeah, the FS is just not her friend.
