MIRAI can you please stop smirking or making weird facial expression when you are performing otherwise fabulous

but they're so amusing, its always somewhere between constipated and kidney stones

 

[arashifordream]

at first i was like OMG ABBA!!! And then I went...wait this is not ABBA version. I would have prefer she skated to the original.

 

[OS]

The music is a high risk high reward program. It can only work if she is truly confident. I can understand why she picked it, it does leave her rather naked emotionally though...

 

[friedbanana]

Bonus points for that spiral???

 

[frida80]

My poor baby.

 

[Hyena]

Mirai started out tense, but right at the end, right before her last combo and the spiral, she seemed to let go. When she really feels the music she's lovely.

 

[Rissa]

what battle?actually they have no kim now

Actually, they do...

 

[artsciboy]

Why less points on PCS than Na Hyun?

They're still penalizing her for skating to "I'm a Big Girl Now". (Shudder!)

 

[spookysushi]

omg shes making fish faces. i cant rn

 

[BlackAxel]

I really like the song that Mirai skated to. Though I cant help but notice the lack of choreography. Why pay 10k to David Wilson for a program like that?

When British Eurosport is dissing your music, you need to change it.

 

[Matilda]

Mirai seemed to lack energy today--URs and looked pretty slow. I hope she'll improve towards the end of the season.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Finished a little behind the music, too. No falls, so that's good, but those landings aren't going to do much for her tech score.

I think the best thing about this skate is seeing her attitude with Tom Z in the KnC- not defeated like we've seen so often, but matter of factly going over what to fix

She's talking about her boots are too soft

 

[mirai4life]

the wait lol

 

[s_parks]

yikes, looong wait.

 

[OS]

They're still penalizing her for skating to "I'm a Big Girl Now". (Shudder!)

HAHAHHAAAAA..... she grew up so fast!!!

 

[cathlen]

B.ESP saying everything I think about Mirai's music.

 

[spookysushi]

The music is a high risk high reward program. It can only work if she is truly confident. I can understand why she picked it, it does leave her rather naked emotionally though...

if by naked you mean zero emotional connection to the music then i agree, i think she was trying to save herself with an artistic component

 

[Rissa]

Ouch.

 

[nocturnalis]

Damn. Sub 100.
