With a great start, Mirai maintained the clean performance. Well deserved first place.

GO KANAKO

 

[Sugarpova]

wonderful! justice IS in the world!

no Go Kana! Sweetness overload:luv17:

 

[rollerblade]

Mirai, what a performance!
I really don't understand the music edit and choreography but wow, her jump qualities are really improved and amazing.

She stepped the hell up! I saw no bobbles or step-outs or anything. Will have to watch a video for the URs because this stream cuts away to commercials during the replays.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Yay Mirai! 127!

Mirai landed her jumps but PCS will be low. SS is not quite there and the music cut and CH is like???? The IN does not quite match. Pity.

Disagree on the SS, but although I enjoyed her program, I agree with you on the choreography. If the jump technique is fixed and she's mentally ready to go out there and show the world next year that she's the best skater she's been since she was 4th place at the Olympics in 2010, she should get a top-notch program.

 

[Alchamei]

Can't US send Mirai instead of Polina...

Russian Cup Final i suppose

 

[tulosai]

That was very pretty and in general this competition is a big improvement for Kanako in terms of how she's been skating lately. Really too bad about the mistakes.

Solid by her current standards, but probably too many mistakes to medal

FS: 47.42+59.19 = 106.61, 175.12, 4/18
