That was just awful as well as her outfit

I looks like an Arakawa knockoff

I didn't mind the outfit

Is it me, or has Tuk put on some weight?

Is it me, or has Tuk put on some weight?

I think she did.

 

[sky_fly20]

Tuk needs to lose weight and improve her stamina I notice she burns out at the end of the Season like last year

Tot: 171.50, in 1st (out of 4)

 

[ordinary person]

Wow, no falls from Li Zijun.

 

[Jammers]

Li reminds me a bit of a young Yuna but without the speed and power. She needs to improve on those two things to become a real contender post Sochi.

 

[sky_fly20]

Li just needs more power though she is still willowy but she is still young

Solid skate, she looks pleased enough. Score will depende on how many UR call, she will get.

FS: 54.25 + 46.27 = 100.52 (SB)
Tot: 155.49 (SB), in 2nd (out of 5)

She needs to work on her PCS, if she wants to score much higher

 

[MaiKatze]

I think Zhang really improved. Ah, I almost forgive anything anyway when a skater uses a Ghibli soundtrack.

 

[Mao88]

Shocking performance by Tuk. If she does not get her weight under control, she will go the way of Rachael Flatt.

Another great skate though from Li Zijun.

 

[MaiKatze]

I think Zijun Li is the cutest skater ever. So adorable and loads of talent. I look forward to the years to come and her on the podium. I'm a fan.

 

[zschultz1986]

Canadian Ladies have such a distinct style. You can totally tell when a lady is from Canada.

I find ANY girl who seems like or still is a virgin to be totally inauthentic when playing Carmen. It's just... they don't get it. Either they get all cutesy with is (Nagasu) or they look fooling trying to be a seductive woman (many others).

 

[sky_fly20]

Shocking performance by Tuk. If she does not get her weight under control, she will go the way of Rachael Flatt.

I was gonna comment on this
this reminds me of Rachel Flatt situation

Mishin should really monitor what she eats
1 meal per day for off season will help alot imo
