Not really related but I love the Eurosport guys. May they live (and announce skating) forever.

Asada
129.84 (SB), total 196.80 (SB) and her third GPF gold!
Congratulations. Nice to see a good FS on the podium...
Wagner got 62+ in PCS for that skate, the highest until Asada showed up? Well, no need for me to explain the bonus mark question asked from the SP thread then.

Absolutely thrilled for Mao - Great win
I almost cried after Mao's performance!I was the 1st who bashed her at NHK. This time everything was deserved))Not at her best but still a class of the field=)
I don't like Ashley. She seemed arrogant to me but I was likeafter she fell..Feel pity for her((((Still a very strong skater.She showed her strong will when she continued skating after that HARD fall
I somehow disagree) Liza has no such ss to match the top ladies yet))But I'm ok with all the placements) As for Liza the real test for her will be nats and euro if she is on the podium (I hope)
Oh Ashley :( I feared she was going to lose momentum if she skated badly at the final. Surprised at the fall on the salchow, but then again it's her least favourite jump. But the axel, I wasn't surprised she fell, she had so little speed going into it that it was doomed to be underrotated. But wow I literally screamed when it looked like she wasn't going to get up. MAJOR PROPS for landing that flip; I was wondering the whole time during the steps whether she was still going to attempt it or not and she did it so very well. I believe a little extra pcs were given for her courage, because her performance during the steps was otherwise very hesitant.
I really really hope the fall won't result in a serious injury for her! Happy she's still got silver, that in itself is a huge accomplishment.
Asada; happy to see her skate well, but... It's becoming a bit of a tradition to cry 'overscored' for every Lady's win this season, but I feel I need to say it; nearly 130 for that? Undoubtedly the deserved winner of the night. Huge score to warn Yuna?
I'm surprised Ashley was able to continue jumping after that nasty fall! She's a fighter.
I was overcome with emotion at the half way point where Mao slows down. Her countenance and poise had sadness. I was not expecting this and I cried.
A 4 triple win is so pathetic. This success of Mao is really outrageous.
