I don't know. I think she looks physically weak. That's not Eteri's fault at this point in time.
Mai and Mirai are the skates of the night. Mai coming back from health issues last year to kind of fly under the radar and without the fanfare to win this title. So happy for her. there is a lightness to her skating, great flow and speed and her jumps are wonderful. She just needs a bit more polish.
And Mirai. What trials we all know about for her and she delivered a great performance. She should be so proud of herself.
We had great programs and bad ones..
Did I just hear that Brian said to Bet that they are making a rule about arms over your head and they're going ot limit them?

Didn't know about her visa problems. It will be very difficult for her next season when Russian coaches are not allowed to coach non-Russian skaters.
also loved Brooklee and the Chinese girl skating to Mononoke. 
Orser gotta un-rippon Liza.

oh my mirai
I am amazed... so happy for her. She medals!!!
I mean why was Tursynbaeva scored so high in the sp in the first place? 
Even if she skated clean, she's not very expressive or overall powerful. Plenty of ladies who let the nerves get to them in the sp are much better overall skaters than Tursynbaeva. Mai Mihara is very good and energetic and gets the job done. She seems light of spirit and doesn't let pressure get to her. But I don't think Mihara is overall that special. She's just very competitive, and it's amazing how Mihara came back from the illness. I saw Mihara at Skate America, and she was like a firecracker there, and all smiles. Nice for her success. However, if Mirai had skated clean in the sp, she could have won this. I just think that Mirai needs a transfusion of self-belief. She is soooo talented, but doesn't show enough confidence all the time to just blaze her way through the way her talent would allow her to do.
