What color is her costume?

I'm not at the rink lol. I think I saw on twitter that it's purple, and Kanako's black?

 

[Mirunna]

Mao's costume is the one she wore at the GP events, the purple one. Kanako's costume is the one half black, half purple she wore at the GPF.

Does anyone know what the scores are right now?

Hi Mirunna, it seems you're watching the event live? How is Risa doing? I've only seen her once but really like her...

Mao's first with 193.69, Kanako is second with 187.52 and Akiko is third with 175.96


No, sorry, I'm not watching live, I just saw a picture on Mao Asada's fan forum with Miki, Mao and Kanako with their coaches, that's why I know what costumes are they wearing

 

[luckykid]

I only saw her once too, which is yesterday's SP and I like her too.

Mao got 127 for her long program and is currently first. Needless to say, she's going to worlds.

Yeah but she wants to get her fifth consecutive title I think.

ooooohh.... thanks anway

She's a quiet, subtle beauty. Kanako's hyped as Japan's next big thing but I think Risa has more potential.

 

[luckykid]

Risa has Russia rivals though. I saw the Russia juniors and they have potential too.

Miki's turn now.

 

[luckykid]

Clean one for Miki. Mao or Miki for champion?

1 Miki 2 Mao 3 Kanako.
Argh I was rooting for Mao but I guess Miki champion is also ok.

Well everyone was writing Mao off of the world team, so it's great that she proved that wrong.
I think by Worlds she should be pretty solid.
I still wish Akiko could've made the team instead of Kanako.

Miki first with 202! I was right. Miki's in a good position for a Worlds gold. GREAT momentum heading into Worlds. AMAZING consistency with her LP. An IMPROVED set of programs (and costumes) that exhibit her innate musicality. Miki 2010 reminds me of Miki with her Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence piece. A change for the better, definitely.

Congratulations to Miki, Mao and Kanako!! And a special congratulations to Mr. Sato, coach of the mens champion and womens silver medalist!!!!

Congrats Miki, Mao, and Kanako!!

Miki first with 202! I was right. Miki's set for a Worlds gold.

Pangtongfan will be pissed.

Congrats to all 3. So sad for Akiko.

 

[Mirunna]

Miki deserved this, she was the best, I just have my doubts that with Kim in the mix and with Mao on the right track she will get the PCS. But we'll see. The ladies were fantastic. A special congrats to Mao for making the podium and the world team. She has enough time to improve her jumps till march. Great for Kanako also for making the podium and the world team
