2014 Olympics Ladies Free Skate

[WinterLily]

WOW. I've never liked Mao, but tonight, she was wonderful, the best she ever skated. What a beautiful way to retire, and such a fighter. I'm impressed!

 

[Rachmaninoff]

Great ending for Mao. Imagine she won the LP. That'd be pretty wild, even if she finished off the podium overall.

OT: America fudge yeah! US vs. Canada (ladies) on NBC right now. Plus they have Backes and Pavelski on NBCSN leading up to tomorrow's US vs. Canada (men) game.

mao shows her championship worth. she'll leave sochi with her pride intact.

any questions, blades of passion?

 

[ElleK]

Corruption captured figure skating so did Russia.
Who can explain Adelina's PCS scores??? Same as Kim & Caro? Really???

 

[roxella]

I just can't get over Mao's program...she was AMAZING! OMG...I don't think I have ever seen someone skating like this,with such emotions, lately...

 

[wonderlen3000]

I feel so happy and sad. Happy that she delivered the first 8 triples program in lady, underroated or not and sad that she was so far in the standing. I hope she is proud of what she did today and move on to the next exciting chapter of her non-skating career.

I've never been an Asada fan but that was epic! And the PCS are way, way, way, waaaayyy too low.

If Mao would skate in the last group the way she skated today PCS would be higher:think:

The people at german broadcaster ARD are real professionals. While the FS is rolling they show first a medal ceremony without german participation, then a report about elder athletes' successes in Sochi. Then they remember there is a figure skating competition planned for today and show Witt's old FS from 1988. Next a report about the Kerrigan/Harding incident and an interview with Witt. And while the Great Mao Asasa performs the comeback of the evening including the last Ladies's Triple Axel for maybe many years, they show a report about a german Ski-Alpine athlete who does not compete today, only to finish it right when the ice resurfacing break begins. Now they need to fill it with nordic ski jumping. Oh those geniuses!!!

Anyway, Kudos to Mao! What a way to end a career. Well done, and thank you!

Mao was EPIC!!!

Hey, Kanako was interviews after her performance and she said she wasn't sure but she said she did feel the desire to come back to the Olympics again, so she may stay!!

How about those PCS, eh?

 

[StellaCampo]

I too cried with Mao at the end. I didn't think she had anything left in her today to produce this. I was in awe of her power and determination. Her dream of having 8 triples (almost) came true. I'm sure Tarasova is satisfied. It is such a privilege to witness this moment.

 

[ks777]

I cried with Mao.

 

[Silvia451]

Maybe she was a little bit underscored at the PCS, but I don't care right now. It was definitely not about the scores, it was a magic moment for her and she finally skated without any pressure.

Looking forward for all the amazing ladies are going to skate in the final 2 groups, but sorry, in my opinion, no matter what, this is Mao's night!

 

[nagoya]
