2015 NHK Ladies Short Program

[zschultz1986]

That Wagner girl actually scored higher PCS than Mao. Like she is not even in Sotnikova's league much less Asada.

Asada fell and URed the 3A, popped the lutz, and was URed on the 3T. The ONLY thing that saved it was the program is great and she sold the footwork.

Chill out. Mao was not great today and of course the PCS is gonna suffer when all of your jumps have faults.

Mao is great, the program (when clean) will be great, but the program was a hot mess today.

Mini-Akiko has made the competition finish on a high!

Not going to try to predict whether she will take the lead or not.

She should, though.

I'm happy for Mirai! No matter the results are, it's so great to see Mirai smile and happy!

 

[paperhearts]

I don't know if she's capable of that, maybe some home inflation would bring her over the line,
I'd be fine with that haha

At this point, same. What a way to save the day and remind the media that you too exist. Haha! Great job, Satoko!

 

[hurrah]

Satoko's pre-rotation in slo-mo, tho...

 

[Sugarpova]

Is it Yamato @ her side?????????

 

[Ilvskating]

Haven't watched any yet , but Ashley has better PCS than Mao is just beyond me

 

[Silvia451]

Well done, little one!

 

[hikki]

Satoko saved the night!!
Yeah she's short, but she's not complaining about what she can't change. Instead she's clearly been working on every single thing she can do.
Yay!!

I do wish she could point her toes more.

Love Ashley's program this season.

 

[Mirunna]

Despite having the skate of the day, SHE IS STILL BEHIND ASHLEY AND MAO ON PCS. Rika and Satoko are always underscored on PCS

 

[andromache]

Socres are close enough to make it a real battle for the podium in the LP. It's going to be so exciting!

 

[EdgeCall]

For god's sake, judges, that half a point wouldn't have hurt, would it?

 

[paperhearts]

Only 69. Hmmm. Yes, ok, sure. But good for Satoko! Very very sad for Anna, my heart hurts for her.

Hopefully the ladies do much better in the FS tomorrow!

 

[Mista Ekko]

It's very likely that GPF will be:

Medvedeva
Gold
Asada
Wagner
Radionova
Miyahara


As i don't see Miyahara finishing 4th behind Hicks,
And Wagner and Asada are unlikely to be lower than 6th (I sure do hope haha)

 

[QLutz]

i swear anna's coach is more beautiful than anna!

 

[Perdita]

The Japanese commentator is keep saying Satoko's programme is flamenco. I heard it is Riverdance. I'm confused

 

[OS]

Strange microscopic jump with the same landing as Mirai are not ur and Mirai huge jump are ur

I think small jumps deserve proportionate GOEs. Seriously. 30% size of say someone like Anna's big 3lz3t deserve 30% of +1, +2, +3 otherwise it makes no sense to me.

wow just reading your comments shows that you have no idea of what you are talking about, firstly Mao never did a 3t, secondly if the 3a was rotated is not something we know of yet, since the protocols are not out yet!

 

[NoNameFace]

and I had a feeling in my gut yesterday while watch on entry list that Satoko can surprise us and voice told me 'Put her in first, don't be shy!'...

....and went with mind

Only Courtney Hicks could save Rika and Tuk now...
