Ladies - Short Program

[lavender]

Crazy Worlds. Didn't expect Yu na to mess up. Kind of felt Mao might.

 

[Mirunna]

I'm sorry, that was a shade of Yuna skating, she was tenative and had mistakes. Her first place is just wrong.

 

[christinaskater]

Drama....drama.......drama..

 

[lotte86]

Yuna Kim for being the all time godess of ladies figure skating has one of the worst leg positions in a lay back. That was horrible. I mean about the worse I have ever seen.

hahaha my same thoughts although they are not shared with my commentator...he LOVED her spins 'they are worldclass'...

I think Miki Ando should have had the lead but i expected this...Yu Na always gets high marks (imo higher then they should be)!

 

[L'amour]

Yup. I would say the program lacked any of the old Yuna spark. It was...ordinary.

agree, it was totally meeh.

I glad for Ksenia and Alissa I hope they bring it on fot the LP too!!

It is horrible, but she has back problems I think...might have something to do with it.

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

Could still be first. She usually does way better than 65.59, more than enough to leave a significant amount of points on the table.

Well, keep in mind that there's no spiral sequence this year, and the GOEs on triples are lower. She came in first, but not by a lot.

*sigh*

Miki Ando is going to win this Championship. UGH.

Heh. Sorry dude.

 

[JeffyJosephNCA]

Yuna in 1st??!! Sorry but that ain't right, I love her but no....

 

[Spun Silver]

Not a queenly performance at all. How the heck could she be over Miki's totally clean performance?? That's just wrong.

To h... with the judges. Miki and Ksenia were the high point for me. Mao is wasting away, she doesn't have the strength to command the ice! Come on, Mao - eat some steaks!

 

[Serious Business]

In b4 outrage! Yuna still in first despite step out on lutz! I'd have to see the protocol breakdowns, but I might have scored the same as a judge. Her other jumps were huge and secure, her basic skating is speedy and easy, and her spins are fast and controlled. Her presentation and projection is spot on. I love Miki's SP performance, but I'd give the PCS edge to Yuna, which is what Yuna won on. Still, Miki and Yuna are practically tied, and 65.91 is on the low side of what Yuna is capable of.

 

[loop9497]

I am a Yuna fan, but I also don't think she should be in first because of her mistake.

[alexeifan]

Yuna 1st? That laugh she did... her attitude seems a lil different now. Spins seemed much worse and the program reminds me of her lp style of 07. Very unfinished. I thought Alissa and Miki did best.

 

[Mrs. P]

Really guys, they're virtually tied. Only.33 difference between them. Miki won on TES, Yuna on PCS.

 

[Kissx3]

Yeah not really a surprise. Given that she usually scores in the mid to high 70's, she did technically still lose a ton of points on that program.

 

[Layfan]

I don't get it.

 

[Spun Silver]

Not one but two mistakes - didn't she plan a 3/3?

 

[Mirunna]

It's just wrong, wrong, wrong! Miki is robbed

 

[katymay]

65.91
First place

ALthough I would normally say Yu-Na >>>> Miki, I would've given the lead to Miki here.

They probably pumped her up with skating skills...but the truth is Miki's skating skills were terrific in her short...

 

[yelyoh]

Correction for US ladies, currently 4 and 8. Not bad is they don't drop or even move up. Could happen and get those three spots for new year.
