Loved the last part of the program. It sure helps how we view a program when the audience is behind the skater. This time I liked it more

NOOO Akiko singled the Lutz, such a shame, the audience went wild when she landed her combo :no:

Almost 68 points for Asada with no 3-3 and skating to a Junior program? This program would have been fine for her back in 2005 but not now.

I am sure Akiko will bounce back and be on the podium. But if she somehow finishes in fifth and Mirai in second...does this mean GPF for Mirai?

Mao has almost 36 for TES and 32 for PCS. So she wasn't over-scored in PCS, with low 8 and high 7. So if anyone has problems with the scores, this is the system. She has great spins, great steps(which probably had level 4) and the jumps she did were good.

yes, though finishing 5th is very unlikely, she will still qualify if she is 4th and Mirai doesn't score a 174+ above total in silver

well the scores here a bit inflated but same goes to home skaters scored at SC, Akate America and CoR

Can't Mao do a 3-3 anymore? Almost all the skaters are doing them now. Also that music just feels to cute for someone as mature as Mao. Its music more suited for a 14 year old.

Even Carolina who has superior technique and skating skills scored only 66 at last year's GPF.

But you gotta admit, crowds absolutely loved Mao and it is her home country. What should the judges have done?

I would say today, while her spins might have satisfied the level four requirements, they looked awfully slow as revolution adds up.
