If she is smart, she will change her layout to a 3A, 3F+2L, 3L... or even 3A, 3F+3L, 3T (or 3S). She's reducing her solo triple to the value of a clean 2A by going for the inevitable 3Z(e). C'mon Mao, play it smart.

Totally agree. Her 3S is gorgeous right now.

A clean SP with a 3A, 3F-3L, 3Lz, jump layout and top notch spins/stp-seq/footwork is only worth a #5 spot? What The Frak?!
She has tiny jumps..not very pretty jumps......even though she has clean program through out, i do not think she will have GOE.....

Uh, Mao does not have tiny jumps. And she gets +GOE even with errors (like when she two-footed her 3A). When she skates clean she also (deservedly) gets higher PCS scores than all the others (although Gold comes close, score-wise).

If Mao has tiny jumps does that mean Satoko doesn't jump at all?
Funny comment! Since I am at work and can't watch anything, was fun catching up on comments like this!

Are we talking about the same person? Your description fits to Satoko, but we speak about Mao.

poor Satoko
always gets mocked 4 jumps
I actually quite like her jumps. They're solid and secure, with flow, and she holds her landings and given her frame, I can't really expect much more height or power on them from her yet. She jumps quite consistently and well, considering what she has to work with.

Okay, I probably won't be able to watch thisbut good luck to everyone!
I'll watch the videos, and here's the tarot generator:
Wagner: Eight of Wands (Swiftness): A sudden release of raw power, cutting through confusion and indecision, and setting things in motion. Rapid progress towards a desired goal, brought about by immediate and decisive action. Boldness and daring in love, business, travel, or spiritual growth.
Miyahara: The Hermit, when reversed: Detachment based on fear, irresponsibility or naiveté. Self-imposed isolation from friends and loved ones. Listening to the wrong advice or ignoring good counsel. Concealment, disguise, and unreasoned caution.
Gold: Six of Swords (Science): Trusting in intelligence and intuition and setting off into the unknown. Leaving an untenable situation and charting a new course. Passage from difficulty and progress towards a solution. The road to recovery. Travel and exploration.
Radionova: Six of Pentacles (Success): A time of prosperity and profit. Success and generosity in material things. Power and influence turned to noble pursuits. Philanthropy, and the balancing of physical and spiritual life. May suggest gifts or aid to one in need.
Medvedeva: The Fool: Fearlessness, imagination, open-mindedness, and an adventurous spirit. Freedom from cares and worries. Ideas, thoughts, and impulses coming from a completely unexpected place. Nonchalance at the threshold of gaining all or losing all. Extravagance and intoxication with life. The pure and undifferentiated power of creation itself, where ultimate knowledge and oblivion are unified.
Asada: Strength, when reversed: Weakness in the face of obstacles and adversity. Tremendous power released at the wrong moment. Inability to defend oneself. Confusion, and lack of preparedness. Illness, hardship, distress and the failing of physical force. Dominant behavior, abusiveness and a possible loss of reputation.
I actually think this reading is quite fitting.
But hard to say what could happen.

Guys, let's not even bother. Some posts are meant to be met with a shrug or nonchalant laugh and nothing more.

My predictions:
Ashley steps out on her flip and will have bad combo or just less BV (possible UR); Satoko will go clean with no URs but won't be higher than third; Gracie will succumb to pressure and makes multple mistakes (although not a disaster); Elena will be clean, Zhenya will be clean and go to the lead, Mao messes up all her jumps (not entirely, having good landing but URs and some bad landing) but won't be behind podium.

I'm more emotionally invested in the ladies lineup than the other disciplines at GPF. I'm so nervous for Gracie and Elena it's going to be hard for me to watch!
(It's Friday, so starting drinking at 4 o clock wouldn't be the worst thing, but I have a seminar paper to finish after skating!

You and me both, but I have a feeling I'm not going to be too productive with all the skating going on.
Ready to cheer!
