[Li'Kitsu]

Zijun is sooooo adoreable

Her reaction in the KnC is so cute, it just makes you want to cuddle her and be happy for her.

 

[Mirunna]

Mirai is looking good so far

 

[sequinsgalore]

Mirai NAGASU (USA)

Music: Symphony No. 3 in C minor by Camille Saint-Saens

Blue halter dress w/cut-out on bodice. Lots of silver sparkle

3Lz
2A+3T - lots of snow, so 3T perhaps UR. Replay show UR, perhaps even DG
3F
StSq
FCSp
3F+2T+2T
3Lo+2T - 3Lo looks UR on replay
2A
3Lo - perhaps UR on replay
CCoSp
ChSq
LSp - very nice!

Solid skate, but lot of her jumps looks borderline (lots of snow flying up) - will have to check replay.

 

[Mirunna]

Mirai is so sweet. "I got third!!"

 

[sequinsgalore]

Nagasu
115.50 (SB), total 176.68 (SB) and into 2nd. She medals!

Good for Mirai!

 

[Mirunna]

2 jumps doubled so far. Oh God Mao

 

[sky_fly20]

WoW, huge score for Mirai and SB
and Tuk in GPF

 

[sequinsgalore]

Mao ASADA (JPN)

Music: Swan Lake by Peter I. Tchaikovski

2Lo
2A+3T
3F
2Lz - flutz
FCCoSp
1S
3Lo+2Lo+2Lo
CCoSp - nice one-handed Biellmann
2F
FCSp
StSq
ChSq

Ouch, lots of popped jumps. Will this even medal?

 

[HR4]

Glad Tuk is in GPF! Was kind of stressed, but good job from Mirai anyway. Looking at Mao, Mirai can still be second, I guess)

 

[Mirunna]

Akiko won it. I believe Mao's PCS will be enough for a podium finish. She only landed 3 triples

 

[sequinsgalore]

Asada
117.32, 185.27 (SB) and into 1st

GOLD? I think she got lucky... (but my podium predictions were right)

She won by a margin og just 0.05 points

 

[ortemis]

I have just lost respect for ice skating
EVEN Mao doesnt believe that she got 1st.

 

[MaiKatze]

Mao, Mao, Mao.....and she wins this. Unbelievable.

 

[Li'Kitsu]

What the heck...?!

I love Mao and I think her non-jump elements should have kept her in for bronze - but gold?!

 

[jChamp]

That's wrong.

 

[HR4]

WHAT??????????????? poor Suzuki and Mirai. CANT believe it.

 

[SXTN]

Akiko won it. I believe Mao's PCS will be enough for a podium finish. She only landed 3 triples

In First!

Ridicoulous performance by Mao. Compared to what she is capable of, her watered down programs are even worse than Kostner's.

2A-3T and a Loop-combo as Highlight.
