2016 World Championships Ladies Free Skate

[eta]

It shows the TES of the leader, and that's Mao

Ah I see thanks!

 

[MalAssada]

I'm sleep deprived: I understood ET as ET: the extra-terrestrial

That wasn't what the poster meant? Heck...

 

[Crossover]

Go Zijin!

 

[Alchamei]

Go Zijun! Good skte please!

 

[jinhamasaki]

So robbed ***! With the tes of 74 she should have received and a 71 pcs she would be at 145 with a total of 210+ would have her likely on the podium!

 

[GoddessMinerva]

YES, Rika. I'm so happy. It doesn't even matter the score, the crowd loved you!

 

[SaraM]

Only 63PCS for Rika...?

 

[StitchMonkey]

I miss Bourne and Kraatz.

I miss Michael Flatley

ok maybe not

 

[FunsizedFlier]

American audience love Riverdance, don't they?

Well it is in Boston, which has a huge Irish community/Celtic roots in general, so it's a big hit

 

[hurrah]

Rika looked disappointed with her score. Well, she couldn't have done any better and still got beaten by Mao.... Does not bode well for her.

 

[Shayuki]

Sorry but choreographically, and performance-wise, Jason Brown owns that music. Good job Rika, but not a patch on Jason.

Ugh, Jason? Please, this was about 1000 times more enjoyable.

 

[hikki]

About the same PCS as she got in Sochi.

It was ridiculously low in Sochi, it was pretty low here.
Mao's speed is not great at times, i get it. But you would think the judges see qualities and quantify them. That's their job.
Sigh.

Mao is a legend no matter what and she is so beloved.

Btw Australian TV went on commercial break right as Rika came on...

 

[Alchamei]

2a3s and 2a3t.

 

[ahy]

I thought zijun stepped out of her 2a at first ooops

 

[Bumdid]

I have a feeling Li Zijun will probably lose steam halfway. Makes me wish she packed every single jumps in the first half.

 

[Zhenya is DIVINE]

Mao is ahead of Rika?? There is a God!

 

[mrrice]

it wasn't a joke actually, i've noticed that russian skaters always wear gloves.

I didn't think It was a joke and I am dead serious about Todd's hands, They were terrible.

 

[MaiKatze]

Rika.... cannot believe this was the last time we saw that program. CoC was magic.

 

[Blades of Passion]

Rika is so underscored compared to the other top competitors. I hate this.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Sorry but choreographically, and performance-wise, Jason Brown owns that music. Good job Rika, but not a patch on Jason. And you stole his music edit, note by note. Just saying.

Nah, it's actually owned by Shae-Lynn and Victor.
