LADIES- Japanese Nationals (Senior)

[ks777]

Why is she in first place? Her chreo, skating skills etc are not sufficient to hold her up.

Because the Japanese federation still loves her to death. She is retiring after this season so maybe it was a goodbye gift? I still do love her skating skills though.. She lost her speed and jumps over time but still her skating skill is up there..

OMG are you OK ks777 I thought you are in Japan.

You go to bed now, I'll take care of this:agree: I might go offline after Yukari though

No, I am in WA state.

[mayamae_55]

Looks like Mao landed all her jumps!

Mao 　76.55

 

[Tinymavy15]

Mao 　76.55

On the results page her score is 69.12

I hope this is not true, as it would mean that even with the Nationals bonus she would still be 3 points behind Yu-na's best. Even with the triple axel.

 

[Iscariot]

Yey finally a 3A so far this season for Mao in the short!
EDIT Just read in the unofficial results that she got 69.12
>3A?

 

[skatemom1122]

The previous score was a hoax. REAL SCORE: 69.12

Not sure if anything was downgraded or not.

 

[mayamae_55]

Sorry, wrong info. Here's the real result
Q 1 Mao Asada 69.12 36.84 32.28 0.00

3A +2T, 3F, 2A
probably the 3A was underrotated.

I don't think it would be that high with a downgrade. Maybe she did not get the levels on the footwork and spirals. She mentioned shortening the footwork, so maybe that took it down a level or two. Or else maybe she lost some GOE points somewhere.
At least she landed it all.

You might be right. or maybe her 2toe was downgraded?
