What happened?? Did Mirai have that many UR's?? Fifth?? :disapp:
Strange costume. Gives an impression that she forgot to take off this white cardi.It's hugely distracting.
Program suits her but dress has to go. Or just take off the cardi.
boo-urns. it seemed like Mirai did amazing minus the wonky fall on the 3loop, but a lot of her jumps did look underrotated ...:frown2:
Why? Kiira did badly at TEB and is not a GPF contender, so her podium finish is good for skaters on the bubble. Which Mao, with her 6th-place finish last week, is not, BTW. She needs to focus on the rest of her season now.I can't believe Kiira got silver... must be that Grace Kelly look. This could really be bad for Mao trying to make it to GPF.
Skating gods were with Rochette today.
Awesome LP for Akiko (didn't see the SP)
You can stop wishing. Nicole is in jail.So it was downgrades? Underrotation problems?
Hmmm, I'll need to go back & watch it tomorrow on IN.
Just seemed weird to me, but then again I think Mirai is the USA girl that has been out of the loop recently? Not much international experience? I know reputation judging means a lot.
One final note, I think Kiira Korpi was overmarked in both the SP & FS, most likely due to her looks. I wish the USA had Nicole Bobek back, that is a Nicole Bobek that could land her huge jumps this time around , because she would enchant the judges with her beauty as Kiira does & blow away the field. Looks do matter.

Frank's trip with the girls ended pretty badly, despite the promising SP's... There's still Evan left in Men's.
