Oh my goodness! If Mirai skates well, Joannie is off the podium!



But Kiira wins her first GP medal!

 

[SusieH]

Ah yes, another PCS boost for CaroK....hwell:

And Akiko Suzuki's PCS is too low. It's ridiculous that her PCS is lower than Carolina's.

 

[Kinga]

Kiira got THAT score with 3L being the most difficult jump? She is sooo overscored.

 

[badknees]

Korpi gets 2nd or 1st with a free skate as described??

 

[Phoenix347]

Caro is rank #2 in the world... hence the PCS boost. No GPF for Caro now.

 

[Nadine]

I LOOOOOOOOVE THIS KID ~ SHE'S FABULOUS ~ WOULD DEFINITELY PUT HER ON THE OLYMPIC TEAM BASED ON THIS PERFORMANCE ALONE!!!!!!!!:thumbsup::agree:

I started celebrating early, then she fell (just once though), but OMG her opening 3/2/2 was FAB, as was the follow up with the 2A/3T combo.!!!!!!!!!! And her spins, style, class, falling leaf, everything was E-X-C-E-P-T-I-O-N-A-L!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Though I'm sad for Akiko's low PCS, I still believe Carolina worth that PCS, coz she did fine except those jumps

I do not understand why, it's a mistery, must be the Grace Kelly looks

 

[sequinsgalore]

With that skate Mirai should be able to win her first senior GP medal! (I hope...)

 

[herios]

Nagasu must have had lots of downgrades, she is at the brink of UR on almost each jump, the score says it all

 

[amateur]

Mirai Nagasu, USA

3lz-2t-2lo
2a-3t ur
3f-2t fine
3lz maybe slight 2foot
3lo 2foot stepout, then slip and fall after
2a good

looks slightly peeved at end
i must have missed a jumping pass?

this program does nothing to add to the Carmen genre I'm afraid. the limits of her tricks are showing here, generic program, and she is juniorish yet. showed reasonably well for herself though. brief tears off the ice, Carroll tells her to calm down, more relaxed waiting for marks... upset with result.

93.something -- 5th

I can't believe Akiko won, haha! the one i left off the radar in predictions. but she well deserved it today!

I agree with you My complaint is about Akiko's low PCS score.

OMG, she not only medals, but she gets the gold! OMG! That's too great! Is it her first GP win?

 

[artsciboy]

It was pretty obvious to me that most of Nagasu's jumps were UR.

 

[feraina]

I'm a little surprised that Kiira Korpi beat out Joannie Rochette... I guess there was just such a big advantage from the SP.

I wonder what kind of score Mirai will get. That's a great program for her, my favorite of her LP's, I think. I like both of her programs this year. I think it depends on how strict the panel wants to be with downgrading her jumps. She attempted 7! Although the 3T in the 2A-3T looked a little UR'ed. And the jump she stepped out on should be downgraded.

Oh, my goodness, even lower than Rachael. Must have been lots of downgrades. Wow, that's a shockingly low score! Lower than Caroline's at TEB. These UR's are going to come back to bite Mirai over and over, until she can find a way to clean them up... Her jumps look so big and high, too, I don't understand why she has such UR problems.

Frank's trip with the girls ended pretty badly, despite the promising SP's... There's still Evan left in Men's.

 

[Nadine]

Holy Cow!?! Are my eyes deceiving me! She placed 5th? No way, no way. Not in my mind nor in my eye.

IMHO she has what it takes to compete against both Yuna & Mao & all the other top ladies out there.

Someone please explain to me what just happened? Because I honestly do not understand at all.

I still want her on the Olympic Team.

 

[Phoenix347]

What happened?? Did Mirai have that many UR's?? Fifth?? :disapp:

 

[Charlotte Elizabeth]

Mirai Nagasu
OMG, I'm so nervous!
3lz-2t-2l, 2a-3t, 3f-2t, love her spins! 3f possibly two footed.3L FALL...oh no. 2a.3t.
She does not appear juniorish to me in this program! Well focused. So many triples! Well done Mirai, don't know about ur! But well done! She certanly has to work more on a program but this is a good start.
Shee loooks very serious and amiles only after bowing.
I like Frank's attitude. He says it was very good. that fall was nothing he says.
She says she wants to go home and practise.
93.18
155.38
Into 5th place.
She is hugely dissapointed.
And I'm hugely dissapointent too.For me she deserved the podium.
Now podium looks blah... for me.

 

[MikiAndoFan#1]

Poor Mirai!

 

[hikki]

So happy for Akiko, devastated for Mirai... Too many DG calls most likely
