2014 NHK Trophy Ladies Free Skate 11/29

[Dr. Jenn]

I also find the vocal section in Satoko's program rather jarring.

 

[satine]

Joanne has a problem with her boots, because they look too big. Excuse her for not having tiny feet in comparison with her body???

Satoko MIYAHARA .........179.02 (FS TES 60.34, PCS 57.99)
Riona KATO ....................168.38 (FS TES 63.75, PCS 53.76)
Gabrielle DALEMAN ..........164.74 (FS TES 56.95, PCS 54.33)

Whoooa - on replay, that opening lutz was WAY underrotated. Should be a full downgrade.

Agree with Joanne that her boots look incredibly huge on her. I realize she cannot help the size of her feet - it's just an observation.

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Ok come on Kanako!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Joanne talking about how big Sakoto's boots look on her:

"They look like Wellies"

Comment of the day!

(I might be starting to warm to her )

If Kanako 3-3 is underrotated...

 

[Alchamei]

Oh no!

 

[inskate]

Somebody give Satoko a Zayak correctness award! At first I was like "why didn't she just do 2A-3T at the end like she usually does if she misses 3T earlier", then I realized it would be the 4th combo :hopelessness:

ETA: Really underscored on the PCS! Her CH and IN should be through the roof, and TR was by far the best so far as well...

[Sam-Skwantch]

Mute button!!!!!!

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Oh no! Kanako goes down on the 3F!

 

[Alchamei]

3S-2Lo-2Lo! A little Mao moment.

 

[chezzu]

thank you for breaking my heart kanako

 

[taltaltel]

Poor Kanako, not her day either...

3F+2T
3S*+2Lo*+2Lo* - nice, but 3rd 2Lo sadly

FCCoSp3p

Not her best, that combo mistake was costly

FS: 48.51+61.20-1.00 = 108.71, 173.09, 2nd (out of 10)

 

[Meoima]

Except for the fall she did so well. But the music cut is a crime, even for POTO.

 

[Krunchii]

Not a good skate for Kanako, she looks disappointed

really hate the vocals in her LP though

Heh, it reminded me of Michelle. I agree, it was great.

So Ashley makes the GPF?
