Ladies' SP

[krln99]

New to the forum, although I've been reading the past year. About the top two - that much separation between them is ridiculous. I expected 2-3 pts higher but 5?! No. I absolutely adore Mirai. Regardless of how she places, I hope she does a clean LP, which will do wonders for her confidence and hopefully keeps her going strong so she could be in Sochi.

lol, that was responding to myself, with disgust that mirai is behind rachael....u cant swear on here, so thats the closest i can get to it, lol

haha yeah, I know. I was doing the same thing

Normally I'd pay you that one, but he's actually an expat Canuck. ;-)

Oh Lord, I hadn't thought of THAT ! - I was just trying to find a sport which has measured stuff and judged stuff, and I didn't hear a single comment about unfair judging there - and I was wondering if we could transport some of what looks like freestyle mogul camaraderie into skating!!!!! Ooops!!!!! hmmm .... maybe ...sigh. Sometimes I can't win.

Ick. Looks like Miki's costume got Morozified again.

 

[kyla2]

Yes, Rachel is very sweet. Maybe if she got a better designed program I would like her skating more.

 

[Mrs. P]

WOW BOTH Mirai and Rachael in the final group! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!

Great skating - i'm a wreck! I balled my eyes out with Rochette - what an amazing skate.

 

[ARipp42014]

Go Miki! Do your 3-3!

OK, I'm really letting my inner biyatch come out tonight. But doesn't Carolina's skating remind you of the dancing ostriches in the Disney movie Fantasia?

Funny, I needed to laugh after all the tears from watching Joannie and the trolls going on here.

Thank you.

When Joannie has skated clean (like she did tonight), she always has always received high marks from the judges.

Yuna is #1 celebrity in Korea, not a sports star. Her celebrity exceeds any other sports star (soccer, golf, the famous multi medalist swimmer) and any actors or singers. She is way bigger than Tiger is in the Us. There is no other with as much recognition and a number of commercials. Anything she touches the sales go through the roof. I do not agree with you here.

i am not saying that she is not a big star in korea. of course she is a big star, famous, and makes a lot of money with her endorsements. i am just saying that she is not THE BIGGEST star there.
because, there really is no such thing if you think about it... everybody idolizes something/somebody different. just trying to clear up the misunderstanding that some people may have that yuna is like the pope or something in korea. most ppl did not even know much about figure skating there until yuna started winning major competitions, geez.

WOOT! US girls 5th and 6th going into long!....do they both make the final flight?

 

[hauteor]

I keep burning the japanese ladies dresses when they're not looking, hoping they'll come up with something better, and no- every time they keep the worst details and redesign whatever worked to look even worse...

 

[Moxie]

Wheee! Mirai will make the last group!

 

[mhu714]

Kostner overscored, as usual. PCS's in the 7's? Ridiculous. She leaves me completely cold. .

 

[Mrs. P]

Yes 3-3 from Miki!!!

 

[screech]

3/3 for Miki!!! Foot down on the landing, but surprised she went for it - the lutz wasn't fully secure.

 

[ARipp42014]

She went for it!

 

[Chemistry66]

Miki's costume - uh what's going on there?

Nice 3-3! So fast into the second jump and pretty high too!

 

[nghtvsn]

Nice 3z/3l.

"Spectacular or Implode" what?

"Purely Athletic" C'mon, seriously...
