2013 Worlds Ladies SP

[aftertherain]

Well, shoot. Never thought this would happen:

1 Q Yuna KIM KOR 69.97 36.79
2 Q Kanako MURAKAMI JPN 66.64 36.87

Murakami beat Yuna in TES!

 

[FlattFan]

Her PCS now falls back in line.
63+. Pretty good for what she did.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Clean Ashley, but conservative, cautious, and not technically very ambitious. Interesting to see what the judges will do with this.

^^This. Her score was somewhat generous given how strict the scoring has been.

 

[hurrah]

Good for Ashley for holding it together. Her face in K & C was so tense before the score came out. She must be feeling so much pressure.

 

[hikki]

That was so beautiful, Kanako!!!!!!!!!
She's become such a gorgeous skater.
Attention to details!
With the 3/3 in the second half and the level of each element, I want to see HIGH TES.

Oh Kanako beat Yuna in TES.

How rewarding it must be for Kanako and her team!!

 

[pitterpatter]

I think it works well for her! The dyed hair that is!

I like it too

Nice skate for Ashley, smart plan imo

 

[tulosai]

Argh, just able to start watching now. So sad I missed Ashley!

 

[Kissx3]

Good score. I would say a little too safe on her part if she really does want that medal but I don't know how strong her 3-3 or 2a-3t is.

 

[Jammers]

Behind Osmond? Are you kidding?

Oh Kanako beat Yuna in TES.

Kanako has a beautifully choreographed SP with jumps in the second half. Also she has higher levels on the spins.

Happy for Kanako, although I prefer her green/blue dress to the light pink one.

 

[ForeverFish]

Behind Osmond? Are you kidding?

My thought exactly. Must be the lack of a 3-3.

 

[Li'Kitsu]

Murakami beat Yuna in TES! Murakami beat Yuna in TES!

Guess it's the spins. This panel seems to be quite picky with the levels. At least that's what the score of Voktoria seems to say.

 

[dwiggin3]

Behind Osmond? Are you kidding?

Yeah, I would have her just ahead of her. No 3/3...this is what happens. Osmond did a 3/3 yes?

 

[creme cup]

Coming to the new group, I feel like judges have grown generous. Quite much....
I want CONSISTENCY!!

 

[hurrah]

Yes, I think there was a bit of Ashleyflation.

 

[FlattFan]

Like I suspected, Ashley would be buried. Had the Russians not fall apart and akiko not totally messed everything up, she would be so down the pecking order.
Time to upgrade your TES.

 

[prettykeys]

Behind Osmond? Are you kidding?

Osmond did 3T-3T

 

[mskater93]

^^^^
Did you expect otherwise, Jammers? Really?!

 

[flying camel]

What was Ashleys score?

 

[ffionhanathomas]

I wonder whether Ashley will go for the 2A-3T or 3-3 in the long? I'm sure she's very pleased with her short though - well done to her!
