Even without the 1T on the popped axel at nationals, she would have had the second axel marked as SEQ, using up a combo box.

I think a 1A would not have been an automatic SEQ since it could have been a 2A (in theory).
If the second one is a 3A (even under-rotated or downgraded) then that's definitely the case. But since this is a 1A it won't count... I could be wrong here though.

Really not... She could have made that single axel without combination, and then make another combination...
Hmm she's been getting level 1 spin at least the second time now this season. She better be careful about that since she's clearly capable of a level 4.

I'm disappointed with the reworked choreography of Kanako's SP. It was much better in 2012. They've messed up the whole program by trying to place two of the jumping passes in the second half.

It's because her sit spin isn't low enough in that spin. It looks like she's not bending much at all (with her back) so maybe the back injury people have referred to is affecting that?

Murakami's tears of joy made me able to imagine her enormous stress and fear before Nats, and made me cry by further joy knowing the happy ending(making the team).

I have a feeling Kanako is going to have a Shizuka Arakawa moment at the Olympics, peaking at the right time.

^I would love to have someone under the radar have their moment at the Olympics and deliver, when the favourites bring less than stellar performances. I want the best for Kanako, but I just cannot imagine her overtaking the favourites - they have to make lots of mistake for that to happen.
Awww Kanako...she must of felt such pressure. Man I wish I could deal with Kanako's jump and layback technique because everything else is lovely. She has such a nice classy short program and she's such a sweetie you want to root for her. Off to watch her long program.

Hah I loved her reaction... I really think she was under a ton of pressure after her GP and maybe she was having inconsistent practices so to be able to get it together when it mattered most was a huge emotional relief. The contrast of Yamada's smile and Kanako tears-of-joy-grimace = priceless
