robbed on PCS !!! 59 behind Tuk that is a joke :disagree:
Julia deserves 60+ PCS
Tuk interpreted her music really well and she had a good programme. In my opinion she deserved the PCS she got and so did Julia...

I will give credit Tuk improved her ice coverage and she got a little thinner
but not that much, she looks thinner mostly because of her black tights and black dress
a little more weight loss wont hurt and will improve her jumps
hope she continues to lose more weight leading to the Olympics
Huh???
Tuktamysheva looks perfectly fine. She is very tiny when you see her live.

Wow, Julia Lipnitskaia, now I remember this name. The Russian baby is for real now. She's very adorable and does she have bones in her waist? Those spiral and spin position are just insane! That was no longer a Baileman spin/position, that was a upright split spin/spiral which I don't think anybody else had ever done, not even Cohen who was famous for her spin/spiral positions. I think they should be named after Julia Lipniskaia, how about JuLi spin/spiral ? Jolie
Lipnitskaya's 2Axel has improved.
This is the first time in the past 4 seasons that Hanyu has missed a 3Axel in competition.
Mirai was underscored.
Mirai was surely better and faster than the Finnish girls but considering her past results and her talent I expect more from her than I do from the Finnish girls.
She is capable to commit the choreography http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTv2y7ypYMk but the program yesterday was a pale shadow of that Mirai.
Does anyone think there is any hope for Mirai's URs at this point? I want to have hope, but it is so hard.
Hmm, I wasn't so much bored as frustrated. They've gone back to the ooey-gooey (surprise surprise), and after the stylistic chances they've taken the last few years, it was disappointing. I do, however, like almost all of the new lifts (though that one where Ms V looks like she is doing a backflip into a pool just never works for me).
Is it mean that I just want to take a pair of scissors to Yuzuru Hanyu's Pooh bear? Its way past the stage of being cute...
Watching that magical SP at Worlds 2010 just makes me want to cry. That Mirai just doesn't exist anymore. I wish with all of my heart that she can prove me wrong.
What you see as "ooey-gooey" I see as chemistry. But the lifts - IA! Wondering what these ice dance coaches are thinking with all these gymnastic moves in some of the new free dances: Tessa appearing to backflip into a swimming pool onto Scott’s shoulders; Meryl sprawled in an ungainly manner over Charlie’s back as he appears to be rescuing her from a burning house, and then there’s the lift in Chock and Bates' FD where she ends up straddling him in a sumo wrestler fashion (cringe).
Yes, if she could skate with that spirit again, I honestly wouldn't care one way or another about the URs or her placements. She could be dead last, every time, with every jump URed and she'd still be one of my favorite skaters and light up the rink for me. She's lost that spirit though, and it is really very tragic.
