2014 NHK Trophy Ladies Free Skate 11/29

[Dr. Jenn]

Not too bad from Kanako - I know we're all sick of POTO, but she does a nice job selling this routine. I find her jump technique really unappealing though...

 

[Mista Ekko]

seeing that tech score makes it official that Wagner is in the finals

There are no more scenarios to push her out

 

[Elaine]

NOOOO... KANAKO

 

[inskate]

NOOOOOOOOOOO Kanako! I just praised Satoko for being Zayak-smart, now you have to break my heart...

 

[Alchamei]

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

Edit: Stupid Zayak rule!!!

 

[Totentanz]

Ouch that 3rd double loop. Looks like Gracie and Ashley are in the final!!!

 

[Meoima]

Mute button!!!!!!

I am afraid even Webber might have to use this button.

 

[treeloving]

Camerlengo should not get any money for this program, poor Kanako.

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Not a fan of 'Phantom'. Kanako did an okay job in presenting it. Her TES seems so low!

 

[Mrs. P]

Probably should edit my comment. Satoko's chances for GPF is if SHE wins with that score. She will not get in with a 2nd place finish with that score. And it's out of hte question if she ends up 3rd.

Kanako is likely out of the running for GPF at this point.

Let's see what Alena and Gracie do.

Ouch that 3rd double loop. Looks like Gracie and Ashley are in the final!!!

Not yet.

Satako can still get in if she wins, Alena gets 2nd and Gracie gets 3rd.

 

[chezzu]

oh god i didnt notice the 3rd 2lo

 

[Cyn]

That's quite a low TES mark for Kanako.

Wheeeeeee - Joanne wuzrobbing for Polina's PCS mark. Good.

ETA: Ah, she Zayaked with the 2Rs. That explains the TES.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

I love Kanoko.....All in favor of giving her a do over say "aye"

 

[Krunchii]

She a mule kick which is really unattractive, other than her jumps I like her though, I think she's a great performer, her SP yesterday was just fantastic

 

[thoakun]

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...

Her ability to think on her feet is amazing like Akiko.:shocked:

 

[Totentanz]

I really wish that Leonova will skate clean.

[Mista Ekko]

Good for Wagner

 

[Kalina]

Camerlengo should not get any money for this program, poor Kanako.

Higuchi choreographed both of her programs this year, she didn't work with Camerlengo.

 

[Alchamei]

Satoko on the podium. I'm praying she will win.
