I think, you're wrong. AFAIK, most of tickets to girls competitions have been bought up by Koreans and Japaneses.
no qouta is placed, certain range and the rest if for Russian audience

Yes, mao will win if she's clean, but the reality is she hasn't done a clean program of this layout yet...Actually in the ALL CLEAN scenario big IF. Mao Asada will come on top, because of difficulty and PCS. Do the math. 2 3A--2A-3T 3loop-2loo-2loop, 3S. 3F and 3loop. Big IF
How did an Adelina thread turn into Yuna vs. Mao?
Every thread inevitably is a yuna is the greatest ever and why thread, at least it seems that way. I in fact had to sign a Yuna waiver before submitting this particular thread.:disapp:
It's hard to say. Like you said, she would never be totally clean. However, her LP is my favorite of anyone this years and she presents it with such flair that if she were clean she deserves to get the highest PCS in the field. That is a hard piece to bring life to and she does it beautifully.
She needs more than difficulty IMO. She has not yet skated with the power needed to match the powerful music of her LP. She is capable of it but Mao must skate freely and hit the jumps to win.
We've seen her do a clean skate back in 2010 and the judges just went "meh" and still gave a crappy Yuna 3 PCS higher. That said, a clean skate from Asada with only middling GOE today would have the ability to beat a clean Kim with her 2013 Worlds GOE and a 3 PCS advantage. She wouldn't have a PCS edge over Kim or Kostner but over the rest of the field? Definitely.
I believe that was gmyers, but still. I'm glad Adelina finally did the 3 jump combination so one source of the "Adelina is the worst" posts is gone.
Exactly, she needs the wild abandon a Rachmaninoff piece demands. No thinking, just an outpour of emotion and drama on the ice. I also feel that without one the other won't come, if she's concentrating too much on landing the 3A or the 2A-3T then it won't happen, that's what happened to her in 2010, she was so focused on going clean no matter what that she didn't. Only this time, Yu-Na isn't the definitive beginning and end to the story, Mao has a say in what happens.
has elongated her lines.
I really want Adelina to skate 2 clean skates and live up to her full potential. I think she can be on the podium and possibly even win.
Didn't her SP illusion spin look really nice and powerful?
I'm kind of hoping she takes the bronze.
I just want the judging to be fair - but oh I like Adelina so much.
I'm hoping that Kim Yuna doesn't win with inflated PCS.
I'm undecided whether she is tone deaf and just has that unrestrained happy energy, or whether the choreography was just so busy and not timed right with the music. There were parts that were good ... but in all I felt everything was a bit of a mess.
Tatiana tends to make these busy programs that are quite difficult but the moves don't add much to the interpretation. Adelina looks absolutely exhausted in the 2nd half of her LP where you can see her breathing heavily through her mouth.

I'm hoping that Kim Yuna doesn't win with inflated PCS. Because I feel that her programs doesn't have the refinement and the details of her competitors. She doesn't look as sharp as she did in 2010 season or even 2013 season. I would be disappointed if she got her PCS with her name alone. Kim is lucky in that she has the ideal ballerina body - the long legs and arms and the small head. That plus her speed give her an edge in PCS. But I'm not feeling anything with her SP and LP this year however - they kind of look empty aside from the jumps.
