Rachael attempted a 2A+3Lo.

C'mon Rachael-You go girl!!

 

[Layfan]

Oh Lord. Last group. Nervous. Go everyone in this group!

That ina bauer is just cool no matter how many times I see it. And the spread eagle earlier (though short) was also cool.

Nice skate from Rachael Flatt. Shows that the GPF fiasco was defintiely a flukey performance.

 

[Mrs. P]

The 2A-3L looked close, but good for her for trying it!

Good program, hopefully there aren't too many URs

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Is it my feed, or is Rachael skating slower than usual? some of her jump landings are a bit iffy but she's hanging on to everything.

I have never cared for this music esp for singles skaters.

She'll go into first but that program just does not suit her. Rachael should not do flirtatious and coy. She should do girl-next-door and romantic. I don't think she'll make the podium.

So much hate? What could you possibly be talking about? I'm the only one who was even critical and I didn't express hate but praise. This isn't a Phaneuf fansite!

Oh I thought I read some more negative comments, I was more kidding then anything else. I fully understand this is a forum for everyone to express their opinions and I completely respect that.

I love Rachel. Solid as ever. Looks amazing this year. I think a lot of people will look back apologetically for not appreciating her while she was competing.

 

[MikiAndoFan#1]

Goodness, this music is starting to sound annoying.

Rachel skated well with her PB and I did like her skate - good for her!!!!

 

[blue_idealist]

Wow, that's FAR ahead of Cynthia, wasn't expecting it to be that high

She usually skates kinda slow She did a great job though. Good for her. I don't love the program, but she really tries hard to sell it.

 

[Mrs. P]

New PB! And she breaks 180 internationally!

Hey it's Tessa and Scott!

 

[Nadine]

GREAT JOB by Rach!!!!

My only concern are possibly DG on a couple of jumps, she fought at the beginning for those jumps, she's a figher!!!! :thumbsup:

Come on, Mirai, skate with more emotion and feeling than at Nationals.
