My feelings-exactly! On all counts!
I'm thrilled for Mao and Gao lol! My favorite Japanese (lady) skater and one of my favorite Americans doing very well indeed in the SP! Very happy for Gracie too-she's in 5th and that isn't too shabby considering the top guns she skated against in the SP!
I agree; she was lovely!
For me, both Akiko and Mao were amazing, from an artistic perspective. Their skating was so free, and their movements purposeful and to the music.
It's hard to pick which one is better. I'm glad we have both. Along with Carolina, these three are the most artistic skaters today, IMO.

I respectfully disagree; I think Mao's SP doesn't compare to past ones like Ladies in Lavender 
I just think it might be a bit too young for her. Mao, Yu-Na and Carolina are so good in all different ways and basically what sets them apart is their maturity on the ice.

It's not just the triple-axel that was amazing. Equally amazing was the new step sequence. The old one was the most difficult and lovely step sequence in the business already, and it is now improved and made more difficult and lovely. No female skater can come close to Mao in step sequence right now.

I watched Mao's step sequence twice after I watched her whole SP! It is the best in the business indeed! Quite thrilling really!

Ah yeah, sure, that's exactly what her skating is saying LOL. I think she is saying I am here, I want to compete and I am going for it. I don't think she is really competing against the witches with capital B's.

I concur. I thought actually, now I will get blasted on this site, Mao was rather junior like though perky. and her dress nice coral color but silver doesn't go with a warm color the proper metal color would be gold - more complimentary and complementary. I thought mao was overscored but that's jut me.
Mao looks so much better-she looks healthy! She looks strong! She looks happy to be skating! And that was a beautiful program!
As far as the triple axel, perhaps the judges might overlook just a wee bit considering it is a woman who is putting a triple axel in a short program. Women have not kept pace with men where jumping in concerned. I would have thought by now plenty of women would have landed triple axels in competition....
Also, can someone post Gold's program? I have to avoid that HaHa site, it infects my computer... and thank you to those who posted Mao and Akiko-they are both so wonderful.

Miss Gold is represented by EMI which has removed the program. All I can say is....how obnoxious is that. But I have really enjoyed the rest of the programs, so THANK YOU! I hope Mao is back to her old form, but the long program will tell alot about her energy level.
