Grr got downgraded :scowl:

She didn't get downgraded, she didn't do a 3-3, her lutz didn't have enough speed coming out of it so she did 3-2

Mirai did a drop dead gorgeous skate and it was choreographed to perfection. Screech, what were you watching???????????????? i prefer her skating to anyone elses in the competition. She is stunningly graceful. her positions, spirals and spins are to die for.

 

[silversprings77]

maybe my TV is a little off but they JUST finished showing her skate and haven't brought up scores. anyone els watching NBC noticing this?

 

[ARipp42014]

How do you know Mirai got downgraded?

It didn't look DG but I'm not the tech specialist. :scowl:

Nice some Simple Plan @ K&C

Belgian girl scored 46.10 and with that Tugba just joined the 24!

1) Mirai
2) Johnny's Angel
3) Baby Yuna
4) OZ
5) Yan
6) Tugba

 

[magicalwords]

did Mirai get an edge call or something on her lutz? Grr I really like the fact that we can see the protocol right after the score are announced but the protocols only show dg calls, not edge calls.

 

[oranges]

I almost wondered if NBC was going to show her :disapp:

She skated clean though, no falls! Bloody nose loll. I think this was a good Olympic debut for her!

 

[DesertRoad]

We can safely guess it's an edge call, judging by the -GOE. If it was a downgrade, she'd be bleeding points.

 

[Lotta]

Scowling Carroll next to her.

Is tugba karademir in to the long??

 

[ARipp42014]

Is tugba karademir in to the long??

Yeah she made it!

Mirai did not get downgraded. Clear inside edge take off resulting in a loss of 1.20 points. With a 3-3 she could have hit 66+...

 

[oranges]

Nagasu seemed so mature taking a Season Best score at an Olympic debut. Maybe she/Frank were expecting better?? Either way, this is a girl that was CRYING after CoC SP. She's really matured this season.

She didn't get downgraded, she didn't do a 3-3, her lutz didn't have enough speed coming out of it so she did 3-2

Ah good. But where did the negative GOE come from?

I thought you could sort of tell she realized in the middle of the combo she wasn't going to to a 3-3 and then she was a bit bummed and it affected the her performance a bit in terms of expression ... but not in terms of landing the rest of her jumps! wow! Hopefully Mirai will start getting the reputation for solidity she deserves.

 

[janetfan]

clean. but nervous. well, for her first Olympics - kudos. very well done. Didn't do the 3-3... But wow, what a way to nail everything in her first Olympics!!

Thanks - I saw it Live on NBC.
Is the score OK - compared to the others so far?
I was hoping her score would be a little higher but since I am not watching it is difficult to gage

At least her score will be held up for a while (pending on the Euro girls). My dream is to have her on the final flight!

Yeah she likely got "!" (maybe "e" but I think the GOE would have been lower) because of the GOE, if it had been downgraded it would have been worth like 3 points or something, so she got credit for the combination. I still think that's a great score for an international competition, and her Olympic debut nonetheless

I think she was bummed she didn't do the 3-3.

Ok, funny: Gizmo's height is listed as 1.80m (5'10'', though 5'10'' is 1.77m) on the Vancouver site and 1.67 on her ISU bios...

Russian commentators said there was smth wrong with it, I don't remember, either UR a bit or not perfectly landed

 

[Kissx3]

I'm not sure she was actually planning the 3-3 there. The pre-competition media indicated a 3-2 and NBC's judging application had it as a 3-2 as well. They probably figured the Olympics isn't the best time to test out a shaky element even if you aren't all that worried about your placement.
