Definitely think Christina should be sent to worlds over gold

**willdu** · 02-10-2013, 04:37 AM

I'd like to see mao whip out the 3-3 and the 3A just to show Yuna and Kostner she's gonna get em at worlds.

Me too. Christina is so consistent this season. Gracie is very talented, but she needs time to mature and become a competitor. Her nerves get the better of her right now.

OMG. Maoster is going for it
Great 3Lo
Double footed 3A. URed.
Great 3F-3Lo.
good flutz.
2A-3T, good one
Doubled Sal
Good 3F-2Lo2Lo.

Ok, this gonna hit 135+. Caro and Yuna, get ready!

**prettykeys** · 02-10-2013, 04:38 AM

Wow did she just go for 3F-3Lo???

**willdu** · 02-10-2013, 04:38 AM

CALLED IT! WOOT. MAO IS BACK. (Well hopefully she'll hit the jumps cleanly at worlds)

Soo Christina continues the tradition of being the sole non-US Worlds team member who places highest in 4CC. I do wonder whether the US will change the way they pick Worlds teams after this...? 3 years in a row is a bit of a pattern, methinks.

(On another note, it was 2-footed but Mao's 3a looked rotated- admittedly to my untrained eyes! She is such a beautiful, fluid skater! SO EXCITED FOR WORLDS.)

**starryxskies** · 02-10-2013, 04:39 AM

Oh dang Mao is going for the kill

I understand your concern but who else would you have picked for the second spot in this important year. Of course some one suggested we should send courtney hicks to worlds instead of gracie and I was like ...... seriously!? We could send Gao but she doesn't have very difficult content in her LP.

Mao ASADA (JPN)

Music: Swan Lake by Peter I. Tchaikovski

3Lo
3A - twofooted, stepout, looked perhaps < on replay
3F+3Lo - ok, but likely UR on 3Lo. Perhaps < on 3Lo on replay
3Lz - e
FCCoSp
2A+3T

Feed froze... :-(

Difficult content doesn't matter if you can't execute it...

Let's be fair. Our national champion hasn't hit a true 3-3 in ages and I haven't seen a 2a-3t from her this season either. Better to have someone hit then someone to melt their way through the program.
