YAY JOANNIE is second!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sillylionlove]

He looks like Mr Potatoe you mean

I never said he looked good....in fact Mr. Pototo head is much cuter...just looks better on television then in person...I still have a problem getting passed his bug eyes!!

I think the eyes work for him. Maybe he's just photogenic.

I agree Joannie should have had higher PCS but oh well.

Good for Joannie! She should be pleased with 2nd given her skate. I'm so relieved for her to have her toughest phase behind her with no major mistakes! GO JOANNIE!!

 

[sillylionlove]

So far the points just seem totally off to me.

 

[PolymerBob]

I hate complain, but I'm actually having trouble loading the Goldenskate pages. :disapp:

Mao Asada
Violin Fantasy
Lavender dress, I think her old one?

3F-3R, I think that's the best one this season
3(f)Z, nice besides the edge
2A, very light.
Layback into Biellmann, very pretty
Spiral sequence, the class of the field in positions, steady if slow
Flying sit spin, really lovely low positions, into pancake
SLSS, the Korean commentator says "Best in the world", just so smooth and difficult
Final combo spin, all of her positions have improved so much

I would not be surprised to see that break Yu-Na's record from last year. Not being with Arturnian suits her!

64.10 - 1st. WOW the judges are stingy today, but she is happy.

 

[_Ladybug_]

YES MAO did it!!!!!!!! GREAT JOB Mao!!!!

 

[TCTC84]

NOOOO Joannie

Mao Asada
"Fantasia"

35.22
28.88
= 64,10 (SB), 1st

 

[kappa_1]

What a brilliant performance for Mao. She's finally starting to look like a lady out there and not a little girl. Simply incredible.

 

[MarieM]

I wonder if she also got the e for her flutz and another one for her lip !
Why doesn't she fix that ?!

 

[kappa_1]

oooo seems kinda low. Did they call ur on the combo? I also am concerned she didn't hold that first spiral position long enough.

 

[sillylionlove]

Is this the second to last group of skaters? It's almost lunch time and yikes i am hungry but don't want to leave!!

 

[rochettefan]

That's actually a good score for Joannie considering no 3-3.(wonder why?) Shows the judges respect her again I think. Hearing she had a problem with her lutz, this time last year she would be getting score like 53. She's in a good position

 

[Rikku]

I think so..it's supposed to be finished at 1800 cet and now its 1650

 

[Bruin714]

Stingy

As long as the judges are stingy with the scores throughout, I'm fine with that.

Carolina Kostner
Riders on the Storm
Black pantsuit, gorgeous

Will she hold it together? Has a chance at 1st
3F-3T, perfect in every way
3Z, fallout, too bad...
Spiral sequence, such DEEP edges and good extension
2A with a beautiful landing
Flying sit spin, a bit slow
Layback into catchfoot, probably her worst move
SLSS, smooth, musical, inventive, just great
Final combo spin, better speed.

Considering her inconsistency, well done.

64.28 - 1st over Mao, whaaa? Guessing that Mao's spin levels and lutz deduction really hurt her.

 

[_Ladybug_]

Carolina looked great. Her spirals are drastically improved from previous years. And brilliant interpretation!
