IleK said:I was talking about ladies, not pairs. I can not compair a pairs score with a ladies score. And as I was saying it is the most inflated score I 've ever seen. Give me another one. I know what Mao can do and seeing the protocol nothing explains the score. I am no enemy of Mao or of any skater ever, I admire but her country always make me like her just a little less because every time she skates in Japan this is what happens. Sometimes I think that she doesn't like it either.
But let's make peace, not war. It's not about Mao. Adelina skating in Russia or Ashley at SA will receive and did receive inflated scores, just not that inflated. And now, while I am trying to watch both Finlandia and ON, I am very nervous because I can't find any programs from Japan Open and I really can't wait anymore. I would like to see at least the ladies at JO until the ladies SP starts at Finlandia. And I am also thinking about the hour gymnastics starts tonight. It is like these guys are trying to "poison" us with figure skating! What is too much it's too much!

I am not sure how this performance can help you with the nerves though, it certainly made mine worse. Those jumps!!
This program wasn't choreographed by TAT...

Thanks, Miruna! I'll try to watch it until the ladies SP starts in Finlandia or after the first group. I've already seen Dai, it is sad but I think he can get better. I would change that shirt, he doens't look good in light colours. It makes him look pale. And the music is a little slow from I what I was used to see him skate. But I'll have to watch it again more carefully.Mao: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kk5ZxvYWHs

Mike, yes, it already happened in Russia and USA. Wait to see in Sochi, I am afraid to even think about it, but being the Olympics I expect them to be decent. Japan though tends to be something a little bit different because in this country figure skating is a religion and Mao and Dai are their gods. Yes, JO reminded me of NHK Trophy, too.
Thought Rochette's performance was surprisingly strong. Enjoyed it much more than her eligible programs. She seemed to tire at the end and could not quite keep up with the intensity of the music but she remained expressive. Thought her overall score above Wagner was appropriate, especially with regard to PCS.
Wagner skated solidly but thought in many instances her actual level of presentation and character of her moves could not meet the high intensity level of her music. This was particularly notable in the footwork sequence, where if you turned off the sound it looked as though she could have been skating to anything while the music was going all-out from a dramatic standpoint. Probably this was just pacing herself, and it being early in the season. But the sharp drop off in performance level was kind of jarring.
I want both Rochette and Osmond on the team. That would be a dream team for Canada.Protocols are in!

Asada only got a UR call on her 3S and an edge call on her flutz. I was pleasantly surprised at the arrangement of Wagner's Romeo and Juliet actually, and despite the failure of her jumps, Irina Slutskaya was as artistic as ever. I'd rather send her to Sochi than Ando. OR BETTER YET, SEND JOANNIE ROCHETTE INSTEAD OF THAT KAETLYN!!!
Well, if Rochette participate in the Team Trophy, she surely will get an OGM with team Canada. Is it not interesting enough?
