Oh no Akiko! I was hoping for better.

Akiko Suzuki

3Lz-2T-2Lo - flutz
1A-3T - UR?
1Lo - oh no...

SpSq
3F - hand down/fall
3Lz - stepout
3Lo + 2A seq - ok

FCSp - travels a bit

FCCoSp

Not her best skate...

Akiko

But that footwork
She looks like she wants to kick herself at the knc

 

[yelyoh]

Akiko's program a mess this time but it really is a good LP and she skates it so well. One of my favorites this season.

 

[gourry]

Wow. Akiko missed couple of jumps but I really enjoyed her performance! I really really wish her make top 4 and make it to GPF.... but it seems not very likely. *Sigh*

 

[janetfan]

Akiko

But that footwork

Yes, she has dazzling footwork. And WSS still is great - for me atleast

 

[R.D.]

ok here we go.

 

[R.D.]

ugh, fall already

 

[Phoenix347]

Akiko will only get 4th if a whole lot of ladies ahead of her bombs. Here come Caroline. Come on Caroline, prove the people on the forum wrong about having stage fright.... oops there goes the 3F...

 

[Kissx3]

Akiko still has a shot, but she needs the Canadians and Lepisto to bomb hard.

 

[iceminx]

Go Alissa - you are the one

Go Mirai - you are also the one

Go Caroline - you are the cutest and may yet become the one

Caroline's artistry is beautiful...:yes:

 

[R.D.]

She really needs to do something about that high kick.

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

Zhang's had two falls and is just going through the motions.

 

[R.D.]

she fell again!!! Not her night.

 

[Phoenix347]

Caroline's artistry is beautiful...:yes:

Unfortunately cuteness doesn't defeat falls and slowness...

 

[gourry]

I'm just wondering... Does Caroline's 2A from almost standstill count as a difficult entry? It seems very difficult to me...

 

[R.D.]

Completely lifeless...I think the mistakes discouraged her.

 

[sequinsgalore]

Caroline Zhang

3F - fall, no combo
3Lz-2T - flutz but ok
2A - no speed as ever
CCoSp - nice
FSSp
3F - fall again...
3Lo - ok i think
3S-2T - ok
3Lo-2T-2Lo - ok but slow
CiSt
SpSq - very nice of course
LSp - perfection

She seems very disappointed...

 

[Scout]

someone mentioned this during her sp, but again in the lp, she doesn't look very happy. granted, she's not having a great performance, but still. you don't see that sparkle or joyfulness in her skating anymore.

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

That final spin is a thing of beauty, though.
