It would be really interesting if Fumie can get on the podium and get the ticket to Worlds.

Don't count on it ...... Yukari will whoop her *** in the LP!

 

[mystichaze]

I know Yukari will bring it in the LP!! Go Yukari!!

 

[Bennett]

I am cheering for Mao. If she can have a clean LP, it would give her a lot of confidence that she seems to have been a bit lacking this season.

 

[Oscilla]

I would love all top 10 ladies to go to Worlds...

Yukari, Fumie, Yukina, Nana, Akiko, Aki, Yuki, Rumi - they are all fun to watch...

 

[kalle]

Any news from Ladies Long?Read on another board that Mao scored 210+, can that be possible??If it is true, it must have been a spectacular program!

 

[inskate]

Is that possible? I think it's about 18.06 in Osaka now. The ladies LP was supposed to be from 15:10 to 19:15, and Mao's in the last group... Her LP should be sometime soon, or maybe just finished.
Of course, I might be wrong ^^

 

[kalle]

I though it was a bit strange too as I could not see the result posted anywhere else...well, mabye it was a "fake" post even if it was from a normally "reliable" board!I guess, we have to wait and see the official results..

When I finished watching the broadcast, information was all here already, so I'll only add:

Morozov looked VEEEERY happy!
So are all the Miki fans over here!!

I can't wait till Worlds!!

 

[kandidy]

Miki did recieved standing ovation. Almost close to perfect program, good for her. Had she improved her spins and spirals, she will get more scores, look at her jumps. They were so high.

Mao, this girl is so talents, spins, spirals, jumps. For the overall , she did :agree:deserved gold medal, but I would have give the best LP tonight to Miki.
Just one pity that Fumie won't go to world and it depress me a bit, but her amateur career might end soon. She will do good in show, I believe.

 

[Mathman]

What a spectacular competiton! Thanks to everyone who provided scores and videos.

 

[feraina]

Wow, what a comeback from Miki! Definitely the best she's skated all season.

I think that was the most energy and speed she has had skating that Carmen program, and boy, does she flirt her way through the whole program.

What did I say? Mao & Yu-na better watch out! Miki is as ready as ever to take the gold if they should slip up.

I love it! Dare I say Katarina part 2? Except Miki actually has the technical difficulty
