Ladies SP - 3:55 am Eastern Time Friday

[ANW]

Nagasu has an amazing speed, she has an unique sharpness in her jumps the program still juniorish tho

 

[TCAngel18]

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

its the finn in her....its like our love of laura lepisto...she automatically gets one stupid move erased, lol, because finnish skaters are great

 

[sequinsgalore]

WOW Mirai!!!
Is that the highest sp score for an american lady so far this season?

 

[life684]

Nagasu's TES score is second only to Yu na's 43 points at France, great skate for her.

 

[TCAngel18]

Nice job by Suzuki (nailed her 3L/2T, 3F, and spiral into 2A)!

Very good expression, appropriate dress to match the theme of the program, et al.

GOOD JOB, SUZUKI, GOOD JOB!

 

[kalle]

Wow, so nice to see Mirai back in the top
A bit tight on the 3Z but I really love how she has started to use her hands, very Kwanish!!

 

[Medusa]

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...

I am sorry, but someone got a big benefit of the doubt on the landings of both Triples.

I like her though and am happy that she found her way back.

Yay for my favourite Lady skater, well done, Akiko. What's with the audience? It's like dead fish.

 

[sfgirl]

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

Yea, she is absolutely beautiful. I think she could have chosen a better skating dress.

Akiko Suzuki. 3Lz-2t, 3F,2A, Spanish program that she pulls together quite confidently, nice hands gestures-in character. Black dress with red skirt undernith. Not bad but I liked Mirai more. Akiko seems happy.
59.52, into 2nd place.

 

[amateur]

Akiko Suzuki JPN
Spanish/Flamenco

3lz-2t ok height
3f better
2a good

spin good position, slowish
layback ok
footwork a real strength for her! excellent
final combo spin better than other spins
This program will probably get better with more performances. It would be nice if she had faster/crisper spins to match that flair on footwork; then you'd really take notice of her.

59.52 - about right relative to Mirai

 

[demarinis5]

Very nice program from Akiko. I loved her footwork.

 

[Nadine]

Good job by Fumie, landed all her jumps, maybe a slight 2foot on her 3F is all. She's incredibly fast, which should hold her in good stead.

i agree, she did get the benefit of the doubt, but i think the strength of the overall program swayed the judges, but i dont think it was overscored, per se...

 

[Charlotte Elizabeth]

Fumie Suguri, Blue dress on the top going straight into yellow skirt. 3F-2t,3Lz, 2A, Classiacl Bach routine. But Fumie seemed a bit mechanical to me today. haha, she counted on her spirals. Good.
55.46. Into 3rd. Which is I think right placement.

 

[mycelticblessing]

Fumie skated really well. She's probably one of the oldest competitors here but still in good form. I love this music for her.
