LADIES FREE Skate

[RemyRose]

Carolina is way overscore, where is the triple lutz, NO WAY!!!
Go Akiko win this title

Let's be real, Leonova doen't have a lutz either. Carolina has everything else over Leonova to boot!!!

 

[hurrah]

That was pretty good! I wonder how she's gonna do?

 

[CassAgain]

Great skate for Akiko. She's going to pass Ashley, and I hope she passes Leonova as well.

 

[Becki]

I think Akiko has it for Silver!

 

[lilshorty]

Akiko skated well, but I don't think it'll be enough to overtake Kostner. Leonova maybe.

 

[museksk8r]

YAY! 2 of my wishes will come true - Caro + Akiko on the podium!

 

[coolboogie22]

Please give the gold to Akiko. She tried the difficult jump. Her program is better than Kostner

 

[Becki]

Oh damn, Bronze.

 

[hurrah]

Wow, so Japan still medals!

 

[Iscariot]

Suzuki was superior than Leonona in every sense! please give her the good marks!

 

[pangtongfan]

Suzuki wins the bronze. Poor Ashley. Event is over. Makarova is no threat even with her best skate.

 

[Olympia]

I've just finished reading through everything. I'm crying for Alissa and Mao. But how great for Ashley!

 

[prettykeys]

I think Ashley's off the podium such a bummer.

I agree that it's a bit of a bummer, but I am really happy for Carolina (Gold! finally) and Akiko.

Ashley should be proud of herself. She skated well.

 

[Serious Business]

Akiko was one popped jump away from silver. But still, her first world medal! And finally the judges gave her the kind of PCS she deserves. Congrats to one of the most winsome and lovable and hardworking skaters of all time!

Akiko into 3rd. Ashley now out of the medals

Come on KSENIA - solid performance required!

 

[Robeye]

Akiko's LP was my personal favorite of the ladies competition. Now that is musicality .

 

[fairly4]

akiko skated welll--not good enough for silver--didn't beat alena leonova-might get bronze depending on ksenia

 

[Becki]

YAY! 2 of my wishes will come true - Caro + Akiko on the podium!

Mine too! But damn Alena as silver lol, oh well...I'll give it to her. Her LP was decent despite sub-par choreography..

 

[periperi]

Akiko skated well. Too bad about the single, but I enjoyed her. Makarova's next. I love her skating, but I hate this program.
