Lepisto is out of it....or should be. No solo triple. Only did 3toe/2toe.

 

[Jasper]

Wow, Korpi into 4th????

This is ridiculous and surprising judging. Kostner with an error even above Mao. Seems like Kim was overmarked while Ando, Meier, Rochette, Liang, and Wagner were undermarked. I'm just really surprised by these results but it looks like it's Mao's to win.

Granny (aka Julia Sebestyen)
Serenade
Neon green dress

3F, huge and light
3Z, hard fall...
Flying camel into donut
Spiral seuqence
2A, clean
Layback, gets very slow with catchfoot
Circular steps, flaily
Final combo spin, good positions

She had a good chance here. Oh well. Let's see if Kimmie can capitalize.

I'm going to predict Mao for gold, Yukari for silver, and Joannie for bronze.

I'm going to predict Mao for gold, Yukari for silver, and Joannie for bronze.

Wishful thinking?

Wishful thinking?

I'm basing that on how all these skaters have competed this season and that Yu-Na is clearly still not recovered from her injury and her conditioning is seriously off. I wish Kim was in condition to win gold - it's so unfortunate!

I'm going to predict Mao for gold, Yukari for silver, and Joannie for bronze.

If Yu-Na hits she'll medal.

 

[Wrlmy]

Right, Yu-na is always overmarked
I'm sad for her but also glad she got through with the program coming out of injury. I see the last year's repeat. Mao will win, Carolina will make a few mistakes and takes the bronze, and Yu-na will come out of 5th to win silver.
Boy, am I wishful..

 

[_Ladybug_]

Kimmie now. I'm not her fan by a mile but I'm routing for her here.

Mao made two stupid mistakes : the flutz and the lip. And this year it cost them a lot !

And Karo got what she deserves for her superior skating skills that's all. When she's on, like Lambiel, she's the best. She got level 3 on the steps where Mao got only level 2. Same applies to spins, spirals and jump base quality.

 

[skates]

Go Kimmie! You can do it!

 

[merrybari]

I'm rooting for Kimmie, too! Go Kimmie!!

Mao doesn't lip though does she? Is she working on her edge problem?

Go Kimmie!!!

 

[_Ladybug_]

GOOD JOB Kimmie. Great job! Good for her! She might make me a fan of hers. I'm a sucker for underdogs and comeback stories.

Kimmie Meissner
The Feeling Begins
Nice new deep red dress. Much better than her old one.

Shot of Callaghan to start
Spiral sequence, arms are still stiff but extension is quite good
3Z-2T, smart choice and very clean
This program works for her
Footwork into 3F, Kimmie is BACK!
Layback, good speed, bleh leg
Combo spin, her basic positions are very good
2A, and a clean short!
Flying sit spin, nice
SLSS, quite good if not as good as Mao or Carolina

YES! If she gets top 5 she is 100% deserving. I think the best short she's ever done.
