LADIES Long Program

[Medusa]

Mirai needs a new choreographer, a new costume designer and some oomph. This strategy is just not right .

 

[Art&Sport]

Ouch. Mirai is behind Alena.

But Wow, I wouldn't have Mirai behind Alena. No way.

Mirai needs a new choreographer, a new costume designer and some oomph. This strategy is just not right .

Exactly. I felt that way even when Mirai won at Nebelhorn.

Love Akiko and she skates UP to her music!

 

[JDLutz]

Too bad about Mirai, but that girl is so much more than that snoozefest of a LP, I hope she changes it fast!!

 

[essiejane]

Akiko is such a performer! Love this program.

 

[burntBREAD]

Mirai's TES was almost identical to Alena. She lost by far on PCS.

 

[MikiAndoFan#1]

I love Akiko's LP.

What a contrast between Mirai and Akiko. Akiko pulled herself together after some little mistakes and skated like a winner... who loves to compete! What a delight!

 

[Mrs. P]

It is definitely the year of awesome Die Fiedermaus program with Akiko's FS and Davis and White's FD.

 

[Jammers]

I'm about to give up on Mirai. No fire no speed no nothing today when she should have gone for it. She hasn't learned to compete yet it seems.

 

[badknees]

I agree that Mirai needs to do something different. I would like to see her repeat her pirates program. That was exciting!

 

[Mrs. P]

Hey, wait did Pasquale Camerlengo choreo that program? Wow he's doing some great programs this year.

 

[Serious Business]

I root really hard for Akiko, and it worked! Glorious skate despite a few mistakes. She always skate like she's inviting everyone to celebrate with her.

 

[Mrs. P]

OMG 119! With mistakes. Seems the judges are catching on FINALLY.

Super skate from Akiko! She has really come on over the last couple of years, albeit quite late in her career

 

[Jammers]

You can blame the choreographer all you want but its the job of the skater to bring it to life. Mirai was sleepwalking out there.

 

[snowflake]

Akiko !!!

 

[essiejane]

Does anyone know if Eurosport will be covering all the GP's? I'm really enjoying the commentary and the video quality of that feed.


GREAT score for Akiko!!
