2014 Olympics Ladies Short Program

[ClockwiseSpinner]

Akiko is out of the race for the medals.

 

[HalfTriple]

Too low for Li.

 

[Blades of Passion]

The Japanese ladies are not having a good competition.

I am a Yuna fan , I don't think Yuna was underscored. I personally thought Yuna could have done better. Her heart didn't seemed to be in this a 100%, if she did give her 110% like she did back in the 2010 games, she would've scored higher. But that being said, she did mention she's not here to get another gold. Perhaps that was the reason for her lack of presence.

 

[Nater]

Suzuki needs to fall once for Gracie.

Edit: Score. Botched Triple Toe.

Disclaimer: Don't like it, deal with it. We deal with enough vitriol from everyone's ubersense here

 

[Mrs. P]

Holy wow. She got below 58 with that performance while Gracie got 68?? Gracie surely got gifted.

Zijun also got a B for one of her spins and a UR for her 3F-3T, it cost her a lot of points.

 

[Dutchie]

I think if I was Zijun's coach, I'd be making an inquiry about that. Something doesn't seem right about that score.

 

[hurrah]

Oh no... She really must be injured. She looked so nervous. But overall, it was not as bad as I thought it was going to turn out initially.

 

[ARipp42014]

Aww Akiko!

SUZUKI Akiko (JPN)

Red shiny strapless dress. Silver sparkly racerback (new)

3T<< - twofooted, stepout
3Lz+2T - bit slow, but seemed clean

2A
StSq
CCoSp

Big mistake on the planned 3T+3T combo, probably out of bronze contention, sadly

SP: 28.71+32.26 = 60.97, in 4th (out of 24)

 

[bmelanie]

That was quite a...bombastic version of Hymne de l'amour for Akiko, I think I would have liked a slightly more restrained music and program (and shame about the triple-triple mistake urghhh)

 

[loop9497]

Oh, Akiko and Kanako! I'm bummed.

 

[Elaine]

Zijun also got a B for one of her spins and a UR for her 3F-3T, it cost her a lot of points.

What's a B for a spin? meaning level 2?

 

[Dutchie]

Akiko is one of the best dressed out there! Love her outfit. I'd give points just on that!

 

[roxella]

I think if I was Zijun's coach, I'd be making an inquiry about that. Something doesn't seem right about that score.

I was thinking about the same thing...something happened with her score...to me it seemed quite good...

 

[BostonFan2016]

So happy for her! I liked her immensely! She's like a breath of fresh air.

she is Phillippino? excellent Akiko a little better than Kanako??

 

[ARipp42014]

60.97 and 4th

 

[Rikku]

Akiko Suzuki JPN....60.97 (into 4th)

 

[bartlebooth]

NOOOO Akiko!

 

[AlexThere]

I think her score is right. She had some changes of edges, some underrotations. Just watch it in slow mo. I love her, but the score is right.
