2021 Skate Canada: Women's Free Skate

[figureskatingandrainbows]

A lot of people have (incorrectly and in a rather awful manner) suspected Mai has an ED, but her team has confirmed she has an autoimmune issue. That's why it's so fantastic to see her back and skating so well. She is just incredible.

Yes, I'm talking about you, Jack Gallagher and your unfounded speculations.

Aww she's so happy!

Congratulations Mai!

 

[Koatterce]

So glad Mai is back and she did so well!!

Well, at least Mihara actually listens to her music. She’s the only one in this group that did so.

 

[Makkachin]

Another beautiful program!

Incredible athleticism and artistry by Mai! Stunning

Wow - Another great skate! Way to go, Mai! I find her and Haein quite similar in a lot of ways - really solid, well-rounded skaters, but not the greatest performers. Mai does perform a bit more than Haein does, whereas Haein is a better jumper. Mai's dress was really pretty. I still worry about her though - She looks so frail.

I am sorry to say that her arms look anorexic

I do sometimes wonder if real medical diagnoses are used as a cover for other problems at times. (not just with Mai with other skaters, too) But, it isn't my right to speculate. I just hope anyone with problems gets help from those around them...

Simon, please shut up about the Russians and join us all in adoring our tiny queen Mai Mihara

 

[lady_bee]

I was praying in front of screen for Mai, and she did it
Thank you for coming back.
She looks still fragile, and hasn't got her power back, but it was so beautiful.

 

[Mista Ekko]

Oh snap!

 

[YuBluByMe]

Oh my god. The judges really went for that, did they???

Poor Mai, I think I remember hearing it was arthritis?

In any case how great that she's managed to come back.

Yes!!! That's a huge and we'll deserved score!

 

[EdgeCall]

New PB and into the lead.

 

[DonnaR]

She seemed to float across the ice - that was lovely.

 

[readernick]

So happy for Mai!

 

[Mista Ekko]

Well, At least they're making up for not giving her the scores in the SP

This is good for her Olympic chances
