If mao want to rightfully beat Yuna, she need to have a lot to work on. She need to have more choregraphy, difficult transition in and out of her jump. she need to learn how to interpret the music and acting when she skate. She need to do the real 3A, not the triple salchow with pre-rotation to pretent like a 3A.

As a Yuna fan, I found the tech caller VERY FAIR, regardless of his nationality. He applied his motto to everyone equally: when in doubt, downgrade.

And it never happens that everybody are pleased to results. Well, nobody questioned Katarina Witt's or Kristi Yamaguchi's wins in Olympics, but we did not have internet with discussion boards on those times.

Love the Japanese skaters! (that also includes Nobu, Yoshie, Yukina Ota)
Congrats to all the medalists. I am particularly proud of Mao for her accomplishments after such a difficult season. Looking to the future, I hope Mirai and Rachel will look at this as another "learning" experience and build from it.
Good for Cynthia Phaneuf for securing 2 spots for Canada.
ITA - especially about Cynthia. She really held it together and most Canadians appreciate the extra pressure she felt.
Well done for Cynthia!
I think Mao will have better programs next season but a great ending for her to win the title. If only Mirai did okay I can be more excited. It's good to see that Mirai still scored pretty good in the pcs.....4th behind mao, miki and yuna.

As a Yuna fan, I think Yuna's much stronger in 2nd and/or 3rd jump in 3/2, 2/3, 3/2/2 combo than Mao. Not just the height and speed. You can even notice the gap between jumps are different. But I liked Mao's 3/2/2 in this LP. That was much better than Olympic's. Not much gap between jumps.
Also, the spread-eagle to 2a. Mao changes her foot to start 2A. In spin, her foot change was too noticable.
haha, I thought the official guideline is: when in doubt, always give the benefit of the doubt for the skaters?

And Sweden got 2 spots as well, that is a suprise and congratulations to Victoria. This is strange, they have on ly 1 spot in Euros and 2 in Worlds. It is very likely to be Helgerssons' sisters in worlds next year.
Well, she was doing a change foot combination. :sheesh:

I don't think he got the memo. LOL. Did you see how many DGs he gave out?

I just Mirai's interview. She's so disappointed with her performance and had tears in her eyes.I hope she doesn't beat herself too much for this; she did really well here.
Mirai needs to be tougher. A world medal was hers to lose. She could've easily beaten Yuna and Laura if she'd just skated clean. Obviously being #1 puts too much pressure on her.

I am sad for Mirai too - but she did not skate well today. Hope she comes back more determined.
Don't forget this was her first Worlds. I see a bright futire for her.
It will be so interesting if Mao and Yuna both stick around - but i have a feeling Yuna is done. And why not? She may decide top start the nest chapter of her life which would be serious Univerity studies.....not to mention a more normal, non-sequestered lifestyle.
If Yuna continues - I say great for her and extra great for skating!
Yes, but as you said, at least he was consistent across the board!

I don't know if you saw the interview I posted, but Yuna said she's just happy the season's over. She's happier now than she was after the Oly that it's all over.

It has nothing to do with the japanese tech caller how Yuna messed up her SP. Are you implying that the tech caller was japanese and therefore Yuna got 0 points for her layback?:think:
I don't know why people in China hate Yuna.. I have to say they are jealous because Yuna has it all.
I hope Yuna can go on a long vacation no that the season is over. Hopefully she will stay in for another 4 yrs.
I am so sad for Mirai. I hope she works harder and come back strong next season!
As for Mao, I am still not liking her programs. I hope she find a really good coach and a choreographer.
I do respect that.

I like that about him though. That way, the final placement is fair.
I don't care how strict or lenient tech callers are. I just want them to be consistent.
