[LaArdilla]

Well done Mai!!!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Well, it looks like *someone* figured out the ice!

 

[GGFan]

Mai's skating just makes me happy! Everything is not refined but there's something honest and refreshing about it. Those buttery smooth jumps get me every time

 

[luvsasha]

This music is such a good choice for Mai. Really brings out a more mature side of her skating. And such a good skate!

 

[EdgeCall]

Praised be ye, Mai Mihara, slayer of the Grenoble rink monster! Now the path is cleared for the others (I hope)!

 

[Interspectator]

Maaai! Loooove it. All I can say is that she makes me happy when she skates!

 

[Shayuki]

SHHHHHHHH don't jinx it!

Jinxing doesn't exist as a concept, sorry to disappoint.

 

[bixby]

Fine job. What a way to start this last group. Effortless on every jumps she did.

 

[Anni234]

Yass Mai!!

 

[kevinVchicago]

Is she skating to Evanescence?

It's The Mission soundtrack, I think [emoji4]

 

[yuna]

yesss mai!!! The BESP commentator saying she was disappointing in CoC and that she only finished in 4th..nope..the judges robbed her of the 3rd place

 

[xeyra]

So proud of Mai. :luv17:

 

[moriel]

Well, it looks like *someone* figured out the ice!

Or its the pattern: the ice monster wakes on the second skater in each group

 

[Ylyzybyth]

Oh wow!!! Go Mai! That was so smooth she is such a lovely skater!

 

[semosk8tfan]

Step sequences too often look like random contortions with little glide or musicality.

 

[lavenderblossom]

Great job Mai

I really am puzzled that you think people are harder on Polina than other skaters. I mean some people are not kind but that doesn't mean they are persecuting her. People don't have to be kind to anyone. One of the very first thing anyone famous should know in this day and age is not to google themselves.
She didn't skate well and she was slow. I think she'd even say that.

I just wish I saw some more respect that she put herself out there. I understand that it wasn't the greatest skate in the world, but I think she's shown improvement from competition to competition. It just doesn't seem like the criticism I see is very constructive.

 

[desertskates]

Yay for Mai! She's really making me a fan this year. Japanese nationals are going to be crazy.

 

[cathlen]

Aww, love you Mai :luv17:

 

[ancientpeas]

It's The Mission soundtrack, I think [emoji4]

hehe.. but it brings you life?
