2015 Worlds Ladies Short Program March 26

Satoko/Kanako. I'd love for Zijun to get it though.
That's improbable. They can really knock her down with URs in the free. Hence me lighting all the candles in the world for her tomorrow.

I would love it if Zijun got the bronze as well. Polina has a decent shot as well (and of course the entire japanese trio)
 
Not impressed by that 3A from Liza. Badly telegraphed, poor air positions and a scratchy landing. Still not bad considering this is her first attempt at a major tournament and at Worlds BTW.
 
Since people are talking a lot about edge calls, were Satoko's edges of her jumps okay today? She used to have problems in both lutz and flip along with URs. This season she's got attentions on flips, but the protocol on her SP looks very clean.
 
Polina took herself out of the final flight by opting for a 3F instead of a 3L... silly mistake. But at least she went clean unlike the other US ladies.
 
I just got to watch the programs. Although there were a lot of poor showings, I really enjoyed everyone who finished in the top 6. Notable elements for me were Liza's triple axel and Satoko's step sequence.
 
After tonight, I wonder if people here are going to continue to venerate Shin Amano as some sort of uber-consistent and strict tech caller?

Please "not impressed". At least it was undeniably fully rotated. I know you can't accept that somebody other than Mao is doing a 3A, but don't even try to pretend like that was a bad or unimpressive 3A attempt - especially for as you said her first attempt in a major international competition.

Also, unlike Mao, Tukt landed a 3-3 as well to boot.

I was. I am certain we will see more girls going for 3axel and quad toe/quad sal now.

They did the same thing last year in the SP and then massacred everyone in the FS. :popcorn:

Wasn't Shin the Tech Caller there too?
 
So suddenly only 3 women at this event have trouble with edges. I guess there are miracles after all.

She never had problems with Lutz.
