Tuktamisheva's evil stepmother dress is giving me life. First the muumuu and now this, she is clearly a style icon for the ages.
Can't tell if you're being serious or kidding

Give Mr. Uno a more reasonable GOE for all of his jumps
And Miss Miyahara being lovely does not change the fact that some of her jumps still look very questionable. 71 TES is another joke.
It's been a long time since I've seen PChan skate. I knew rationally he had the best SS basically ever, but I had forgotten just how mesmerizing his skating is. He still doesn't seem particularly expressive or musical, but it really doesn't matter much when he can skate like he does. If Javi is getting high 8s and low 9s for SS, Patrick should be getting 11s. It's the same old, same old from Javi, but I still really enjoy watching his program. He's adorable.
Mr Uno is a good person or not, it doesn't change the fact that his jumps don't deserve the GOE he is getting. And this way of overscoring, inflation is unfair for all the men. They might not be consistent, but they also spent years to get the quality on their jumps, but some judges decide that their quality does not matter because there's someone with very bad jumps but is consistent.
More like I am worried about the state of men skating in general. I do share my sympathy with Mr Mishin when he complained about Mr. Uno's jump technique.
But of course, some fans will alway try to give credit for their favorites even though the credit is not due.

Mr Mishin:
1) Most skaters are not in form yet.
2) All judges were too generous especially, no UR no edge call.
3) Mr Fernandez's jumping quality is good in general.
4) Mr Uno did the best at JO but should have not gotten that huge gap. Mr Uno has very questionable technique and his landing was too awkward. And Mr Mishin thinks that, this seems to be the highest limit of Mr Uno.
5) Mr Mishin is saying the preparation for Liza is ok to the plan.
6) Japan open is a PR event solely for announcing Miss Asada's come back, for hyping Mr Uno and showing support for Miss Miyahara.
So typical of him , but it's nice to see how much he is committed to his students.http://www.sovsport.ru/gazeta/article-item/846728

Newsflash, these are your opinions. You are not any smarter than anyone else in this thread and your opinions hold no more weight than anyone else. Stop talking like you are God speaking. And the Mr and Ms thing doesn't make you come across any less condescending and nasty, it makes it worse.
The problem now with Liza's 3A and the reason it look unappealing is because she holds the first edge WAY too long. Like she didn't hold it that long at WTT or Worlds, but that's the issue here.

True points, but there is more to it than this. Like exposure for all the skaters in a country that actually cares about the sport. Plus the whole prize money thing.
I think Mishin should show more respect for the integrity of the event and Mao's performance than referring to it as solely a PR campaign for her return. It is insulting. It's interesting that he offers not one positive words for Mao's performance, though he offers some for both Shoma Uno and Javier Fernandez. He is representing Liza after all, who was considerate in her comments to Mao, so I think he should be more gracious and diplomatic in his, in the name of good sportsmanship and so it doesn't reflect badly on Liza. Or better yet, don't say anything at all.

Was Mishin not aware of this before he sent Liza to Japan? "OMG, I didn't know this was a non-official, probably inflated, PR event for the return of Mao...totally shocked?" I don't think so. Japan Open has been going on for years in this way and the scores don't count in any official records. If Liza had landed her 3A and other jumps well, he'd be singing a different tune for sure. I don't think he's wrong to say this stuff, promoting his own skaters etc...but you can't really take him seriously.
So why did he send Liza to the event?
Ashley: Sigh... last season, she was refreshing as the only matured skater competing with young Russian skaters. This year when Mao/Adelina come back and Satoko improves, I cannot help but feel how empty her program is. She really needs to up her game. She is neither refreshing nor more artistic any longer. I am sorry she did not know this was coming. Maybe she can switch her Samba for LP and Moulin Rouge for SP?
