2012 Cup of China Ladies Short Program

[Victura]

Zijun Li was charming! A little flaily in the arms and needs to hold on to her spirals a little longer, but solid jumps, and overall very nice! First time seeing her skate - she's still so young, has lots of time to develop.

[Mao88]

Wow, Zijun Li might just shake up the standings. That's an extremely high score for a relative newcomer.

Zijun Li has won bronze medals at both the Youth Olympics and the junior GP final. She always was going to do well.

For everyone with a buffering Raisport stream, try pausing the feed for about 5 seconds, then pressing play again. That helped with the buffering for me.

thanks brah it helped a lil' bit.

Horrible dress

[jamie]

Love that the Helgesson's bring something new and fresh to the sport. They aren't like any other skaters.

Joshi tries 3 tano lutz, falls. That was just lack of confidence.
3 salchow/tano2toe
2 axel..
Interesting choreography.



Loving the PCS so far, very accurate.

How has Lu Chen's coach not aged? and She's now joined by Chengjiang Li??

Nagasu is looking much wider. Her and Caroline Zhang were so hard hit, in terms of figure skating, by the puberty monster. bah.

Mirai looks gorgeous to me. She has a sophisticated look, great dress and looks like a women. Nothing wrong with that I hope she skates well today

First time in 10 years I've ever seen Lacoste go clean. That was sharp, crisp and all jumps should have solid + GOE

Maybe with Osmond's success she got into the fight mood.

[ortemis]

My hands are getting cold, blood pressure rising, heart raising, hair raising, tears preparing to drop and body is freezing.

Mirai, i'm not ready for my breakdown.

LOL


Good Luck gurl

Yeah, it's great that she's handling the pressure well after Osmund won Skate Canada. She needs those technical marks to make it to Worlds as well. I feel like she's been underrated in the past, so I'm glad she skated clean and with precision.
