Hope there will not be same ice problem in GPF, could be disastrous if something goes wrong.

The most famous watery ice, right here: https://youtu.be/D0ygdHSKv4k?t=10

Wakaba's artistry at its best...really beautiful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SqQhMf2TwI

I like the CBC comments about her FS. "She lets the Jumps breath..." "...reminds me of Michelle Kwan at that age..."
So much talent coming up....

Wakaba continues to impress me with her presentation, jumps and over all style. I don't think she'll ever be a strong spinner, but the other areas make up for it. If she goes clean, it could be a close battle between her and Satoko (who I also love) for a spot in the final.

Wish youtube had a slow motion feature. Like others, I am impressed with all facets of her jumps....but I think to appreciate them on a whole 'nother level, one could watch them in slow mo.

YouTube does have a slow motion feature. Click on the 'dial' on the bottom right of the video (Settings) and then you can change the speed of the video.

Thanks! I clicked the gear wheel and set the speed to .25. It was pretty jerky and a bit blurry but even though its not "network slow mo recap" clear it is a tool I will use now that I know it lives there.

I wanted to slap Mao, what on earth is wrong with her???? She is not that.

You're very welcome! Enjoy the slow-mo videos!

She has a left knee injury that is causing her chronic pain and she only jumped two triples in the warmup. She has even admitted that her practices are not so good and Coach Sato says she cannot train intensively or the pain will be aggravated further. This has been made public by Coach Sato a number of times but announcers, such as those at eurosport, suspiciously refuse to mention and mislead viewers to believe that she is not injured. I don't think she should be skating and instead I wish she would seek treatment but I guess she is intent on competing but since she cried after the performance I dearly hope she will reconsider competing again until she can recuperate and train intensively.

I thought it would have something to do with injury. She needs to rest!!

I thought it was odd that announcers didnt mention her injury....so sad for her....after the last two performances I had to go back and watch her free skates from the last two seasons....get well, Mao!
