2014 NHK Trophy Ladies Short Program 11/28

[Winnie_20]

Japanese ladies

 

[Snow63]

I liked Miyahara more than Murakami.

 

[sajoya]

What a lovely skate, Satoko (but hoping she gets a growth spurt soon)

 

[Sandpiper]

After a rough start, the ladies are (once again) bringing it! Great job from Satoko!

(as a side note, I like the foot-grab twizzle thing in the StSq. Satoko doesn't do it as well as Polina, but it's a nice thing to see in singles).

 

[Meoima]

Kanako should go into the first with that skate. It's so musical, emotional and smooth. She was flying on ice. And She never hit a ugly position through out.

She was underscored because she has UR reputation.
And they said Japanese skaters would be overscored, huh. :hopelessness: Not at all.

 

[EdgeCall]

Go Gracie!

 

[Totentanz]

Miyahara's free is much better than her short.

 

[satine]

Jumps aside, Miyahara is the best female skater in the world right now.

Ran and retrieved it just so I could say Selene that is MEAN. :dance:

yeah, Satoko's jumps are small but not ugly.

Bless each of you :agree:

[Sasha'sSpins]

Satoko was cute, spritely and no where in the same league as Leonova and Murakami.

 

[taltaltel]

Shame Satoko got such a low score, hope she wins the FS!

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

GO GRACIE!!

 

[foruiz]

Satoko was cute, spritely and no where in the same league as Leonova and Murakami.

She will get there. I have high hopes for the kid...

 

[Meoima]

Shame Satoko got such a low score, hope she wins the FS!

Her FS is the best along all ladies this season!! She will make it.

 

[minze]

Shame Satoko got such a low score, hope she wins the FS!

The judges are harsh on her. IMO

 

[sajoya]

COME ON GRACIE!!! KILL IT!!!

 

[chezzu]

Judges quite harsh on Miyahara and Murakami re: URs. Sigh.

 

[apple123]

Both kanako and Satoko have much better skating skills than Leonova. Why didn't that reflect in the PCS?

 

[Globetrotter]

Miyahara's jumps hurt her, the 2A look really nervous to me. Pity about Kanako, I really do think her PCS should be higher. The performance was superb

 

[Totentanz]

Wow Gracie is clean, didn't expect that!

 

[Blades of Passion]

Seriously, what is wrong with Gold's 2A ever since Worlds last year? She will go into the lead, though.
