Ladies Short - Start Order

[MissIzzy]

Im afraid the judges will lowball all the next skaters after they realized they screwed up and put Yu-Na in danger of not making the final flight.

Didn't lowball Rachael enough if so; she squeaks ahead of her.

GOOD JOB!! RACHAEL!! A little conservative!!

Not really,mirai was slower and not as smooth

Mirai slower than Ksenia?!

 

[viv]

Is it possible that Kim will not skate the long program. There was some question about her even doing worlds and now to be in 6th and possibly lower! If she is out of the final group I would not be surprised to see her drop out.

Maybe, but regarding to the Orser Interview I don't think he will let her get away with that. Short interview with Kim just on...
...
Blah. She said she was not enthousiastic to come here and skate at Worlds.

thought Mirai a bit slow today, would place her after Mao. The scores are generally quite harsh today.

She's 2 points ahead and her combo was worth 6 points more. I think it's ok.

lol except for the musicality, speed, jump difficulty, spins, spirals, and footwork, but other than that yeah Makarova was better. They were pretty even on opening pose. lol

love it.

Agree...Yu na is great but she usually makes mistakes. Everyone seems to have memory lost after Olympics.

Well Granny didn't bomb! But might've been DG!

 

[wonderlen3000]

SHOCKER! Flatt beats Kim!! Yu-Na out of final LP group! UNREAL!

Too be fair, a clean Rachael with 3 mistakes from Yuna! Neck to Neck!! Both score are fair!!

 

[TCAngel18]

go granny!!!! that was pretty good!

 

[Johnnnn]

love it.



Yu na usually makes mistakes. Everyone seems to have memory lost after Olympics.

Rarely in a short. Even in long, she NEVER made a mistake on layback or spiral probably during her entire career.

I think Yu-Na needs a vacation. I'm sure it's been quite the whirlwind after winning the OGM. I wouldn't have thought ill of her if she didn't want to compete. I hope she bounces back in the long. Even though she's out of the final flight, she's just so good that if she skates her best, she will get rewarded. The long is going to be very interesting. I hope Mirai can hold it together for a medal. I think Mao is going to win this.

Yu na usually makes mistakes.

Not usually in the SP though, so this is shocking. Her mistakes normally happen in the LP with the exception of the Olympics and the 2007 Cup of Russia.

 

[Sackie]

I knew there would be no way the judges would not keep both American ladies in the final group! Need to sell this in the US! Rachael should have been behind Yuna and Cynthia based on that skate! But skating in the last group gave her a pcs bonus.

3Lz+2T looks great! 3F might get < or not if she lucky!
On replay both looks underroated!! =(

 

[Tesla]

I'm going to cut Yu-Na some slack. It's been a long year and a whirlwind. I hope she comes back and kicks butt in the long.

 

[PROKOFIEV]

Mirai also has superior spins, spirals and tremendous speed compared to Makarova.

Compared to Yuna, too. Mirai has much better spins and spirals. Her jumps are great, too. She is a total package!!

 

[apple123]

I think Yuna is pressured to do the world, but metally and physically is not ready after the oly and the long break, too bad she can't finish on a high note, maybe she will come back next season?

 

[mikiandorocks]

Sebestyen scored 56.10

 

[ranjake]

Sebestyn- nice combo-wonky( a bit) 2nd jump- her music sounds like it's malfunctioning; could just be my tv. 56.10-10th place.

 

[ARipp42014]

56.10 for Granny!
