Kiira Korpi

Strong stroking as always. 2T+3T (good landings, though). Single lutz, ouch. Good recovery with the 3F. Good flying sit spin with definite positions. 3Lo+2T(almost at standstill). 3S+2T+1Lo. Doubled the loop. Didn't hold the haircutter position in spin. 2A. Her high scores tend to come from her GOE scores but she's not letting the judges do that today.

TES 51.34
PES 60.18
Total 111.52

Not her best, a couple of popped jumps. She's got a good lead from the SP, but it's hard tell if this is enough to keep her ahead of Tukt.

Best thing I can say about Korpi is she stayed on her feet. Lovely skating skills as always but she is so frustrating to me.

[Kinga]

Korpi - elegant and refined skating... But not memorable at all (IMO). all her programs look the same to me. I cannot recall any single one that stands out. Pretty positions, pretty girl, pretty dresses. Thats all I can say.

[color=red] is that a Joke ? I hate beauty PCS

Poor Akiko :( IMO she is one of the most underrated skaters of this cycle if not of all time. Hoping for her to still medal.

Unfortunately a bit of a disappointing skate, two falls and one pop.
The two first jump combo were very nice, though.

Aww Akiko

Akiko Suzuki

3Lz+2T+2Lo (edge deduction on lutz). Good 2A+3T. Only single lutz (she's gotta stop popping the Lutz!). Better catchfoot spin this time around. Nasty fall on the 3F. Good recovery with the 3Lo+2Lo. Nice 3S. Fall on 3Lo (underrotated). I'm not sure she'll get the marks she needs, but I would give her higher than 109. We'll see.

Total 115.77, into 1st (will get a bronze at least)

[tulosai]

Come on Ashley!!!

Suzuki
115.77, total 180.77.

She is guaranteed bronze, at least.

Tuk would have a chance to medal if it wasn't for Korpi's Beauty PCS !
