Well at least everyone is still in the last group for the LP... just a different skating order

 

[demarinis5]

Please Mao's camp. Do something. She is faltering big time.

Congrats to Julia, Alissa and Miki.

WHere is the girl who jumps quietly across the ice with beautiful Chopin piece??????????

 

[R.D.]

Asada needs to stop trying the 3A in the short- seriously.

 

[beep_beep]

Wow, I sure didn't expect these results...

Good luck to all ladies tomorrow

Go Granny! Go Alena! Go Miki!

 

[gourry]

While I'm genuinely happy for Julia, I can't believe she's leading after short!!!!!! Who has ever imagined this result?!

 

[Nadine]

That's it!

Drop Tatiana Tarasova, go back to your old coach, change everything or you won't even place in the top 5 come Olympics, if you even make the team.

No more self pity.

JULIA SEBESTIAN ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DarkestMoon]

Should we expect Mao to have a coaching change after this disaster? I don't think the Japanese Federation would stand for their champion to keep performing like this.

 

[Kinga]

I hope Julia will have great LP tomorrow! She was very pleasant to watch today and I also admire her a lot for such a long career. Lets hope that she can crown her career with at least a medal at Europeans this year and great olympic performance.

 

[R.D.]

Everyone is really close though. It could be anyone's game in the FS. In stark contrast to TEB, this will actually be a good one to watch unfold.

 

[evangeline]

at the results.

Wow.


Team Asada needs to ditch that 3A in the SP pronto if Mao even wants to be anywhere near the Olympic podium.

 

[HCOSurfer]

This will hopefully be a much-needed wake up call for Mao's team, things need to be changed ASAP.

 

[reynycpr]

its also still close with only 6.86 separating the top 8.

The writing is on the wall, that's for sure. Who knows, if Cohen keeps playing her game of in and out (which has only been OUT) about this comeback, Asada could very well go back to coach Arutunian, perhaps.

 

[gold12345]

Poor Mao. It's sad to see her struggling like this. What a strange leader board! Julia Sebestyen in the lead!

 

[Trewyn]

I'm majorly upset about Ashley's score; luckily the top 5 is very close so she can still get a medal. Go Ashley!! Keep your cool! You looked lovely!
Mao... Well she got the score she deserved with that low jump content. It's sad because her other elements look great. And I loved the dress.

 

[beep_beep]

They are all so close up until 8th place.

This should be a very good competition.

 

[DarkestMoon]

I guess it's sudden death in the FS. Much more interesting than TEB.

 

[Kinga]

LP tomorrow will be super exciting!!!
