She should get a downgrade on the second 3T. Unfortunately, I was unable to watch most of it... :(

Solid 2A with spiral entry. Equally good 3F+2Lo. Slow but very centered spin layback spin. Fine 3Lo.

No 3-3, but a nice clean skate. Nice to see the top ladies skate well.

Ashley Wagner

3F+Rippon2T. Fantastic layback spin. Should get a Lvl 4 on the second spin. Good ride-out and split on exit of 2A. Good 3Lo, should get bonus for being in the second half of the program. May only get a Lvl 2 on the footwork.

I think wagner was overscored in pcs.
I didn't like her program. And wagner's skating skill looks not that good.


My favorite performances - akiko, mao :)

A very close top 3. The FS is going to be a nail-biter
Actually, it's a very close top 4. Kiira Korpi isn't too far behind, either - well done to her, she's been sick with the flu and I was pleasantly surprised by how well she skated.

I still find Mao's program juniorish, and I'm over the Rippon arms in the jumps. I want Akiko to win.

I agree Mao's music is better suited for Junior skater not a mature skater like she is. Also i want to see the top Ladies do 3-3 combo's and Mao and Wagner seem to not have any intentions of doing them.

I agree, judges are overscoring her because she's american and it's been like forever there wasn't one who could stay on her feet and be consistent for more than one competition.
TR, CH and IN are also too high, specially compare to Suzuki's program. Wagner's just fell flat. Wrong music for her.

JP media spent over 40 minutes on Mao fluff. So it still hasn't shown anybody, and I frankly no longer care, esp. now that I know exactly how everyone skated. (I'm furious b/c I thought they'd show everything live since they said they start broadcasting at 8pm Japan time). I want Akiko, Ashley and Kiira to finish top 3 (don't care which order) tomorrow after free.

Why should they? Especially in the SP. They get super high scores and so far the great baby jumper machines are disappointing. Until someone good comes with a 3-3(not a 3T-3T) and start posting scores over 70 in the SP there is no motivation to do it IMO
