Can't wait until someone on here posts that one of the ladies skated great and had an awesome program.

I am expecting Zhang to bring it.

I still can't believe Fumie is in the lead. I don't think she skated clean once last season.

She went to work with Morozov. That's a big commitment.
Appreciate the pbp - wish I could watch live!!! or at all!!!

I am expecting Zhang to bring it.

I am expecting either Joanie, Caroline or Carolina to bring it because someone has to bring it.

JPN FUMIE

3lutz?/2toe
3?

Yeah, I think that she slightly two-footed the 3Lz and two-footed the 3F. Both triples were questionable on rotations.

Fumie appears slimmer than last year?

So does Joannie, but that may be just because she's less stiff. Joannie is like a different person this year. It also showed in the preview picture of her that was linked to yesterday.

Besides a step out in her combo, Joannie skated really well. I love her new "Summertime" program.

Working with Morozov seems to agree with her. At Japanese regionals this season she beat Yukari Nakano both in SP and LP.

I really liked her program. Her weakness seems to be the layback spin (after her injury she just can't seem to achieve a good back position) and the stamina. Presentation and the height on the jumps were really nice, perhaps the best in a few seasons! I wish her luck.

Same! The best we've seen by far. This program suits her very well, I enjoyed it.

Oh, WOW! That's a personal best for Joannie in the SP by over 4 points! Good for her!

 

[hrmsk8ngnutt]

Yay Joannie!!! A personal best!!!!! :agree:

 

[london_calling]

Caroline fell on her first jump but skated okay after that. I don't think she related that well to the music and seemed a little slow out there.

A nice score for Joannie!

 

[lmarie086]

Caroline a bit tentative...she didn't seem to relate to the music a whole lot. Didn't complete the combination-fell on the first jump but she seemed ok after that. Speed has improved overall, but still slow in a few spots.

Can't believe Caroline fell..
She does have totally new mannerism and attitudes.

Probably nerves.

Wow! Fumie guaranteed in the top 3 for SP! I'm so happy for her.

 

[sillylionlove]

She's in third behind Fumie...I would never have thought that Fumie would be that high.
