Someone on the justintv chat said the gala would be right after this, but I don't know if it's being streamed.

 

[Layfan]

Oh Mao, that was a dream. Mao Asada is BACK!

MAO, MAO, MAO, MAO, MAO, MAO, MAOMAO, MAO, MAO!!!!!!!!

 

[FTnoona]

hehe... The podium make up is just like the men's. 1-2 Japan and 3 USA. I am soo happy for Mirai and Mao!!!

 

[Mrs. P]

Mao did beat miki on PCS..but her tech is down by three points, must have been some URs.

 

[shusterbutski]

Top 7 ladies were great to watch, this was really the highlight of the whole 4CC for me.

If Yuna wants that World Gold medal this year, she's going to have to fight for it harder than I originally thought.

 

[Violet Bliss]

All the M's for the medals! Miki. Mao, Mirai.

 

[FTnoona]

wow. Miki's english really impresses me >.<

 

[oleada]

Beyond delighted for this podium as it's three of my favorites.

Miki keeps delivering.

Mao was so improved and had such a beautiful, emotional skate.

Mirai was wonderful, went out on a high note and won her first ISU senior championship medal.

I'm a happy fan.

 

[Mrs. P]

Miki is so cute in her interview in English.
"It's so warm here!"

 

[Spun Silver]

I got my dream podium, Mao, Miki, Mirai! Bravissime to the three great ones! All of you were so fabulous in such different ways!

I miss that Mao took some of the choreographical elements out of her program at the beginning like the spread eagles.

I hear Lori came and change that program alittle bit.

 

[Kissx3]

Miki's english is very good. Even her accent is excellent.

I'm sad Mirai isn't going to Worlds even though I still fully support the team. I think it's just more disappointing that there aren't three spots so they could all attend together.

 

[MikiAndoFan#1]

Miki's so sweet.

I agree. One of the 2nd 2L looked definitely URed, but I didn't really watch carefully after I saw the height of the first 3A.
