Thank you for the link golden411! :agree: I think Mirai did great in the SP last night. I hope for even greater things in her FS no matter where she places.

Mirai's remarks are quite poignant. And I love Gracie's honesty on her combo! She could have easily used her recent recovery from the stress fracture as an excuse but she didn't.

Love her, always have, my favorite of the U.S. ladies of the past quite a few years.

She skated better than she has in a long time. The 3F, 3Lo and 2A were all around as much as they needed to be. The 3T was probably << but a < call isn't overly generous given the scoring last night.

I agree with you 100%! Mirai was very eloquent and I love that Gracie did not mince words; a mistake is a mistake and sometimes there are no excuses for them. Personally, I thought she was super close to the boards and after landing the lutz so far forward she could only manage a double toe

I think that's what happened too. You can't make silly mistakes like skating to close to the boards. If she tacks on a triple toe like always it's a dead heat.
