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.

It is not her weight but her nerves. She said it in the K&C..She said she wasn't confident while skating

Osmond panics skating not in Home Ice where she wont get inflated scores
unlike skating in Canada where with 2 falls she gets a 115+

Li is such a beautiful delicate skater. Maybe not the speed and power of Yuna but lovely. Kaetlyn skated quite well, not far off her seasons best. I really think she has superb expression, she can command your attention and has great transitions. I always enjoy watching her.

I've noticed you saying this quite a lot during my lurking period. Honestly I think it's coincidence, she fell in Skate Canada and at Nationals. I will agree Skate Canada and Nationals were inflated but what can you expect from a Nationals competition? Worlds she was scored fairly at though.

But she score 112. Which is a little high but not all that much considering she got the rotation on most jumps and (unfortunately) that's the name of the game under this system.

Anyway I thought Meite looked a little cautious out there which is a shame because I think this program was a great step forward for her.

This contradicts you saying "as usual Osmond falls not skating in Canada" She fell less here but doubling a jump and missing the 3 toe on the combination would take away quite alot of points. She was not far off 115 and rotating a jump and falling would make up more.

Maybe it's not because she thinks she won't get inflated scores *eyeroll* It could be because she's not that used to travelling far for big competitions!

Apart from the landing on her 3A attempt and the step out on the second part of her 2A+2T combination, that was a very good skate by Mao

I could care less about possible URs... Mao Asada's skating, when she's on, is some of the most joyous effervescence I have ever seen. I absolutely adore her.

I sure wish I had your powers to see into the future. It's quite incredible the things you see with your magical powers....
