You know, Satoko and her jumps may be small, but I liked this performance better than any other so far. Those low landings are nail biters but she really is starting to be able to create a mood. I think this is a good music choice for her, and good choreo.
Marking taking ages because they are surely reviewing all of Miyahara's jumps for < and <<.
why ? were Elena's any better , if you call arm flailing IN
Julia had more transitions at the first half
Loved seeing Julia's face change when the scores come up. Too bad NBC Olympic coverage will totally make her out to be a diva/***** a la Mustafina in London. I personally do enjoy seeing athletes wear their emotion on their sleeve.

Just wondering - is it considered good technique to land her jumps with such bent knees? I always thought it was a product of her low jumps...
Satoko was totally robbed in pcs. No doubt about that. She deserved at least a 53 total (ahead of lipnitskaia). Small jumps have nothing to do with any of the program components, that 47 was a joke.
