[demarinis5]

Strong program for Mirai. She will take first with that.

 

[Tanja90]

loved the two americans!!!!

 

[TCAngel18]

she laid the smackdown with that program....oooh

 

[Nadine]

SHE'S BACK!!!!!!! Should easily go into 1st place!:thumbsup:

Nailed opening 3L/2T & 3F, with a phenomenal Ina Bauer into 2A!:thumbsup:

And the spins were the class of the field! Loved the hand variation on the I Spin/Eggbeater Spin at the very end.

BRAVO, MIRAI, BRAVO!!!!!!!!!1

Wow, I'm surprised how well Mirai performed. Good comeback from last season.

I like her costume. I usually think black and gold don't match but it looks good on her!

 

[Charlotte Elizabeth]

Mirai Nagasu. Gorgeous black dress with gold details. 3Lz-2t, 3F (not sure about UR), 2A, Good spins and spirals! Exiting footwork right into the music! Bravo Mirai! You have done it!
62.60. Into 1st! It's so nice to see Mirai happy!

 

[demarinis5]

she laid the smackdown with that program....oooh

She sure did. Well deserved score for Mirai. I am so happy for her.

 

[TCAngel18]

62.2 brilliant!!....i dont see too many beating that...she will prolly finish at worst 4th after SP

 

[mishieru07]

WOW 62.20!
Well done Mirai!!! Great programme!

 

[amateur]

Mirai Nagasu USA

3lz-2t fine
3f good
2a very good, hard entry

layback-bielmann good
circular footwork is kinda fab actually,( though with a sprinkling of awkward)
and final combo spin very good

Big applause
I like this. She's just a tad juniorish still, just a tad gangly overall, but there's some good flair there also, just waiting to fully come out. I like that she interprets a non-obvious music choice here (ok, it's Pirates of the Carribean, i discover on looking it up... but it is good music for her).

62.20 -- well done

 

[mycelticblessing]

Frank Carroll seems to coach half the competitors

 

[Trewyn]

Wow! Huge score for Mirai! She must have been really happy with that! Too bad I wasn't able to watch it.

 

[TCAngel18]

ok is it just me or does kiira korpi look like a giant highlighter

 

[MagicFairy]

Why are skaters from Canada and USA always so overscored? :frown2::frown2::frown2:

 

[Trewyn]

ok is it just me or does kiira korpi look like a giant highlighter

Haha she looked that way at TEB too! But for some reason, I think she can get away with a dress like that!

 

[Charlotte Elizabeth]

I don't like yellow on her either. Too bright all together.

 

[TCAngel18]

how was mirai overscored?....great landings, only the lutz maybe underrotated, great step sequences, probably in the top 3 in spinners in the world...only missing a 3/3 to break 70 imo...

 

[Nadine]

Warmup going on!

Rachael is wearing a sparkly showgirl type candy pink dress (should go great with Sing, Sing, Sing)!

Fumie is wearing a dress that is dark blue on the top which fades into a bright buttercup yellow skirt with matching yellow ribbons in her french chignon.

Rachael just did a 2L (she should really do something with her hair).

Joannie is wearing black with a red rose in her hair (similar to Bebe's style earlier).


Why are they showing the flag, I wanna see the skaters, no close ups, dang!

Is that Carolina Kostner in that bright canary yellow dress!?!


WARMUP OVER!!!!
