Championship Ladies SP

[Nadine]

I was right, thought she would get 2nd, maybe even 1st, and she did!!!!!!!!!

That was close, but the real story will be the FS on Saturday night!

 

[ks777]

YES! my Mirai! So happy for her! Thanks Frank for fixing her jumps!

 

[Bruin714]

Marai does a little dance with her head and fingers after her scores came up.

 

[LeCygne]

Frank called her "my precious"!

Haha really? I can't hear that in my head.. And 69 for Flatt?? Okay, if that's how it's going to be, then Mirai and the others better score close to that.

Poor Alissa.. I feel so bad for her - I had the feeling this would be her last season competing, and I'd hate for her to leave on a low note.. Good luck to her in the long!

Soo happy for Christina Gao!! I knew she would be held down in PCS (some of it understandable) but I was hoping she would be closer to 60.. Oh well, I know she'll rock it in the long!

YESSS MIRAI I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!!! 70.06 WOWW

 

[R.D.]

Cohen better bring it tonight!!

No kidding. But if anyone can do it she can.

Mirai knocked me out....really good - world class skating tonight from her

 

[justaskatingfan]

Good PCS and/or +GOE for Mirai?

 

[Layfan]

The scores are crazy inflated. But it's the placement that counts, I guess.

 

[UM84]

I think Sasha will do just fine on her SP (she usually does), it's her Long that kills her most of the time

 

[tae04]

Whew these scores are so inflated.

 

[Kissx3]

OMG so happy for Mirai! I wasn't sure that she could work out her issues before this competition but it appears that she has. That girl is destined to be a skating star.

She looked liked she matured even more just in the past couple of months. I'm thrilled for her.

 

[janetfan]

Mirai was fast, clean, elegant, exciting, beautiful spins and spirals. The whole package

 

[Moxie]

Haha, Mirai was so cute in the kiss n cry! She sees the scores and does a happy little two-second shake and then calms herself down immediately. Well deserved!

 

[Phoenix347]

Chelsea did a very nice job... just a hands down on her combination jump...

Yeah, she better go to Vancouver and beat Joannie and Laura to rub it in their faces that she should have beat them at SC . But seriously, she had such a rough year last year, and then this year being undermarked all the time. Finally payed off!

And good for Christina too! She's lovely and I'm glad they gave her a good score.

[janetfan]

Christina was wonderful. Another year with Orser - and look out!

 

[LeCygne]

YES MIRAI!! She's less than a point ahead of Rachael but she did it with no 3-3! Rachael has always been sloppy in her spins and spirals, so I'm so happy Mirai is in the lead right now.
