Mao was great!! Her best ever SP performance to date!

That technician has no soul. He's someone's well-paid pet.

the technician should be banned.

Not going to say much before the protocols are actually out, but she's still in the lead, so what. Mao looked happy with her score, so I'm happy too :)

That said, I thought the 3A was good, but the 3F might have been short "xD

That performance...just...wow...
So much soul and feelings were put into every single movement in that skate, Mao skated so beautifully. She put in most passion into this skate than any other competition.
I didn't even care about the score at the end, it was just a magical moment.

The audience thanked her by attacking her with flowers at the end :laugh:

LOL. Everyone pretty much got the same TES score except Pogo. 36-37ish scores. I guess we'll only be seeing a 40+ if Yuna skates clean or if Mao gets credit for her 3a

Shin Amano + korean assistant technical = Mao's worst nightmare. No way that 3a deserved an ur. And ashley's combo was just fine according to them. Unbelievable, even for Amano.

This kind of horrible comment make people sick. :disapp:

Her name doesn't sound Korean... Amano...?? Anyways, the Axel looked better than any others Mao has done so far this season. I simply can't really tell whether or not they were fully rotated just by looking... My eyes are not trained enough...

I think most of the judges thought her 3A was rotated as well, since she got +1.00 before Amano's downgrade. Even with UR, she only got -0.43 goe. It was her best 3A since 4cc 2013, and maybe even better. I don't know why he does that, time after time, no matter how well she rotates it.

Well, at least Mao's 3Lo2Lo got ratified this time.
Team Adelina is smart. They change her combination. :)

Ashley's combo looked the strongest it's looked all season. She rightly got credit for it. Not sure why Mao's axel got a call. I'll want to see the reply of it. Also kind of surprised she lost a level on her CCoSp. It was just beautiful tonight, but perhaps someone who understands the rules more can explain that level.

I honestly think Mao and Ashley both got lowballed in PCS. I was anticipating a 9 or two for Mao and to me Ashley's choreo should have been higher.

I also want to add that I was thinking about what Elvis Stojko says about choreography coming from the blades, and I feel like when you compare Ashley and Mao's footwork to the Russian girls you really see that idea come to light. Ashley and Mao have beautifully coherent steps, and with the Russians it sometimes feels like a miracle I can grasp any ideas inside their footwork.

Btw, this competition shows how OVER-scored Julia was at COR. The score she got at this competition was appropriate, given that she didn't get the full levels on the spins. But, then again, the OG will be held in Russia, so oh well.. I guess she will be getting 72-73 again if she performs cleanly at the OG..

Yes, I was a little afraid she wouldn't be able to get off the ice because of all the presents covering the ice surface :biggrin:

Yes, just saw it some seconds after I posted... 3A got an UR call, but oh well. If you think the problem is Shin Amano, as it seems he can't be the technician at the Olys, so the biggest problem is gone.
I just don't see any point in being angry. Mao was gorgeous, seems happy with her score and all the flower shops in Japan are sold out. The world's a nice place today :)

Yes, that was a veritable bombardment. I found myself wondering if a skater had ever been hit by some fan offering... ?

Oops, mistake :) Who's Shin Amano anyways...?? I think I am missing some information here... Was there a history of him/her giving an under-rotation call to Mao?
