2014 Olympics Ladies Free Skate

I feel like fairies are about to burst forth from Akiko's dress and sing hymns

Is that a good or a bad thing? :p I love her dress and really feel like it adds to the magic of her performance. Too bad about the jumps today. I think she should still be moving into second.
 
Been mostly reading here this event. A big :clap: to sequinsgalore for keeping the timeline in the threads, you make them readable :)

Wondering: what's with warpony, warhorse/house thing? Try to find the begining of it but couldn't..
 
True. Had she placed in the top 3 after the SP, I doubt she would have delivered that AMAZING long.

Actually, we don't know that. I think it's possible she would have. I think it's amazing that she managed to recover from the utter disasterous performance yesterday and then do so well today. Shows true, true grit.
 
Akiko is such a beautiful skater to watch! Beautiful program! It is really too bad about the jumps and the errors :(
 
I wasn't going to say anything about this, but Tara is a know-nothing who really needs to be quiet.

She just said that Aikiko was close the edges of the rink because it's a security blanket thing. NO, it's because rinks in Japan are larger than everywhere else which is one of the reasons why Midori Ito fell out of the rink back in the day.

And she said that ALL Canadian girls want to figure skate while the boys want to play hockey. Well...my daughter goes to school in Canada and tells me that ALL of HER Canadian friends (male AND female) scoff at figure skating and even figure skates for casual skating - and are only interested in hockey. Maybe the truth is somewhere in between, but Tara basically is just full of it, man!

Warhorse: overplayed music especially during the Olympics (ex. Carmen)
Warpony: borderline warhorse level
 
I do hope Asada decides to continue skating. I've always loved and loved her exhibitions, and had hoped she would be able to bring some of that spirit and fun into her competition skates... She needed all the pressure of the gold medal taken off of her to deliver that splendid skate today, but hopefully she'll able to repeat today's marvels more often.

That's exactly I want:yay:

We were jokingly counting the number of "Warhorse" skating routines (AKA overused music pieces). Warponies are not quite warhorses yet.
 
So sad for Akiko. She had a chance if she went clean this Olys, might have matched Mao's 198 if clean today. But I'm glad we have that nationals performance to remember forever.
 
Akiko radiates such warmth.

That is a really nice program, probably the nicest to Phantom of the Opera that I've seen.
Deserves high PCS (higher than Mao, if I were a judge) for Choreo and interpretation categories.. I take it she won't get that?
 
In any other competition, this will be a gold medal or clear podium finisher. Here in Sochi? Got to pray that Sotnikova self destructs and judges do not inflate Yulia's PCS.
 
Oh goodness. When Valentina gave that sultry look as she grabbed her skirt, slowly lifting it and tilt her head.... I felt like I accidentally clicked on the wrong stream.
 
how do you know this? where are the protocols

You can see from there. I listed her GOE scores. No jumps and spins got more than 0.8.
