Ladies Short Program

Nakano music Chopin

3f 2t, big wrap as usual
3 lz just hangs on on landing but clean
good combo spin steps right into layback to b'man

bit of a wobble on coe spiral, but fast
nice fwork
s'eagle in 2 axel, lovely
nice final spin, another good skate

replays suggest 3lz might be cheated
 
Yukari Nakano
"Fantaisie impromptu"

34.83
26.27
= 61.10 (SB), 1st
 
can someone who is watching also let us know what place these skaters go into? I would really appreciate it since these are the top skaters.
 
Wish I hadn't missed Yukari! Wah~~

Miki Ando
Scheherezade
Same blue outfit as last year

3Z-2R, too bad
3F, nice
Good layback with nice attitude position
2A, lovely
Spiral sequence, it has improved a lot since last year
Flying sit spin, loses balance a bit at end
I don't know what she means by new edit of music
SLSS, flaily Morozov, a bit edgier than the original version
Final combo spin, nice speed, so-so positions but she does do a nice I spin.

I'm thinking a tinier bit higher or lower than Yukari? It wasn't a great performance but the jumps were secure.
 
anyone else getting this wonderful message on the ISU website???? I am very unhappy with them. They need a bigger server!! Imagine what it is going to be like during the men's competition?

Miki Ando
Samson and Deliah music

3lz 2 loop looked good
3 flip - not really out of steps
nice layback
easy 2 axel
spiral coe looked awkward
flying sit- some minor probs
frantic arm flinging footwork- Morozov choreo of course
combo spin to close- good but not great programme

She has gone back to Scheherezade. Same music as last year.
She is gorgeous!

59.21 - 2nd, she goes behind Yukari.
 
Joannie Rochette
Tchaik Piano Concerto
Black dress with sparkles, very classy

My favorite for a medal after the two wunderkinds...love this program
2A, wonderful landing with arm embellishments
3F-2T, she decided not to do the 3-3 but very secure
Flying sit spin, fast and good positions
3Z out of steps, wild step-out-ish landing, pity...
Layback, lovely
SLSS, musical and gets the levels without looking overdone
Spiral sequence, good extension and edges
Final combo spin, solid all-around

I think that deserves the highest PCS by far so far, but that probably won't happen. A good skate, if not perfect.

59.53 - 2nd behind Yukari, ahead of Miki. Bleh, she deserves higher PCS (lowest of the 3 I believe)

Fair number of canadians in crowd
Tchiakovsky piano

big 2 axel
3flip 2 toe - easy - why no 3-3?
steps into 3 lz, shaky landing, turns out
nice footwork
solid spiral
good combo spin to finish

nice skate, minor prob on land of 3lz- should be up close to Miki

I'll leave the pbp to mizu-Iro - doing a fine job!
