She should start focusing on actually landing triples and hard combos. Her jumping ability is non-existent now.

Maybe you should focus on skaters you actually like. It must be a lot of work constantly tearing someone down. :sarcasm:

Total mess from Suzuki. :(

Lovely program but jumps not there.

Sorry, didn't see her moving to the music. She did not express the nuances, if you ask me. But I'll review it.

I remember her [Gold] moving her arms to pretty much every single accent in the music. Not sure about her timing, in general, though.

By moving to the music and using her [Radionova] whole upper body to do so (not just arms going up and down)?

Did I miss something? Julia's not at this competition...

Julia got 60 in SC
so unfair, I don't want a Lipinitskaya-Radionova rivalry because we know already who will get the inflated PCS marks from the two :disapp:

Ummm. I think Mao is really wants to land that triple-axel. If she lands that axel, I think her program will go up another notch. No under-rotation on 2-loop today. (lol)
