Ladies - Short Program

[Mirunna]

Third place is about right. Thank God she is behind Kanako. The judging was fair so far.
GO AKIKO

 

[Spun Silver]

Yes, I agree that Alissa is above reproach re ethical standards. No question about that! I mean since she is obviously not on her game mentally (and may have had some injury issues earlier in the season), pull out whether she is actually injured or not. She is injured somewhere --- she's aching in her confidence big time!

No, don't agree. Too many skates like this in her history.

 

[lilshorty]

Carolina goes into third behind Kanako.

 

[Becki]

i am a little shocked....but there is still hope

GO AKIKO......GO FOR THE 3-3, show them what you got~

 

[Kinga]

Caro scored too high IMO. 61 vs KAnako's 62??? No way!!!

 

[periperi]

Caro is going to beat herself up for doubling that loop... The rest was fantastic though. Her skating quality is the class of the field.

Go Akiko!

 

[coolboogie22]

Carolina is ridiculously overscored. The judge boost european skater unfortunately

 

[Art&Sport]

Go Suzuki. Knock Alene out of first, please!

 

[snowflake]

Kostner 61 into third place.

2 lovely skaters left... go Akiko and Viktoria!

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Go Akiko! I'd get behind Akiko for Gold!

 

[treeloving]

I can't believe that there will be the day Leonova challenge for world gold.

Go Akiko!

 

[kwanatic]

Color me shocked...they actually scored her appropriately.

The judging is kinda all over the place right now. Maybe Alena should stay in first...I don't think she'd hold up under the pressure. I know that's mean but I might kill myself if she actually wins this competition...

LET'S GO AKIKO!!

 

[daphna]

Alissa should be permanently banned from world championships. USA shoukd have sent Gracie Gold, if they ever wanted to regain that 3rd spot.. sigh.

 

[Art&Sport]

Carolina is ridiculously overscored. The judge boost european skater unfortunately

Judges boost Italian skaters all the time. Hint hint: $peedy influence Hint

 

[sky_fly20]

Go 27 year old Akiko !!!

Helgesson last to skate?
what is her SB ?

 

[snowflake]

Akiko 2-lutz

 

[kwanatic]

3t-3t from Akiko!

And then she doubles the 2nd jump!

What the hell is up with the ladies today?!?

 

[lilshorty]

Oh no. Akiko doubled a jump. Fingers crossed that she does well.

 

[pangtongfan]

Kostner was undermarked. Her PCS should have beaten the field by more than they did and she definitely deserved to be over Murakami atleast. The Japanese women skaters- Ando, Suzuki, Murakami, even Asada at times are SO overrated by the people on this forum. You would think everyone here was half Japanese. The judges dont underrate them, planet GS overrates them.

Haha aw, I actually am thrilled for Alena. Realistically this may well be her last Worlds; I am so happy she is making a splash.
