2021 Asian Open: Women's Free Skate

Mai...135.75 should be clean-ish?

 

[Skatesocs]

Oh, high TES! But low PCS... I think this panel is strict on that regard maybe?

Mai...135.75 should be clean-ish?

Probably perfect, very good TES.

 

[RatedPG]

Yes! Good total score too. I’m so happy for her. Her PCS score seems low. But, a 70+ TES score means I think she skated cleanly and skated her best.

Additional Q: since AO is no longer a CS competition, do skaters still earn points (counting as B-level?) towards ranking?

 

[RatedPG]

Now, it is time for Kaori! Go slay. Fingers crossed for a 140+ and clean skate for Kaori.

No WS points. I'm unclear on whether this counts for SB (or even mins, although someone said yesterday that it does). @Andrea82 ?

Yay Mai, go Kaori!

Good question. I have no idea. I thought this was a challenger event. But, with how easy the competition is over here, It would be unfair to give ranking points as third place is the lady from HK and she would get the same amount of points as Aliona

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Erm... Mai just won.
Kaori, what happened? But way to go, Mai!

 

[Skatesocs]

?! What happened to Kaori??

 

[RatedPG]

Wow! Looks like Kaori did not skate well. She got beaten by Mai at this event. This is shocking to me. I hope she is ready next week for Skate America.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Omg Mai won! My baby yes! im so happy for her!
Please Jfed support my baby! She also deserves a chance to make the olympic team!

 

[cohkaix]

Oh Kaori...it still requires some more practices to figure out the FS. Continuous competitions could also be a factor.

 

[elektra blue]

did Mai just won???

 

[Skatesocs]

did Mai just won???

Yeah...

Protocols need to load!!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Kaori has competed a lot in the last month I wonder if she is feeling the effects of that?

 

[Skatesocs]

It's doing the same thing it did yesterday

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

She's competing again in a week at SkAm, so hopefully not

 

[cohkaix]

It's also that Kaori's FS program is recently revised (around JO, Benoit was in Japan personally to work on programs with Kaori). I think she still needs time to get elements sorting out.

 

[cohkaix]

YES!!! Mai won. (That goes with my originally prediction). That will give her some confidence to keep fighting for a spot.
