Just saw Akiko's LP, and it was gorgeous. Wow.
Here - not a great video, admittedly.
I think if Japan doesn't win a ladies medal in Sochi, it'll be because they are clearly supporting the wrong skater based on a hope and a prayer. Since Akiko was going in as a the reigning NHK champ and the world bronze medalist, I don't get it.
I'M angry. I really love Mao, but in this competition Akiko should have won. It seems the new system is bad, the judges can do whatever they want. I hope Mr Cinquanta saw this judging. I don't understand the judges, Akiko also Japanese...her victory would have been happy for Japanese people. And Mao would be in GPF with 3th place.
The entire thing is a farce. All the skaters should boycott NKH Trophy which is now officially "No matter what Mao Wins" Trophy!
Akiko got robbed. My heart just broke for her then enraged. Mao was grossly gifted. This is embarrassing!

OMG, I registered cuz I'm pissed off.
It seems Mao wins whatever she does on ice.
We might not have to watch the Grand Prix Final because the results are already fixed.
