Ladies' SP

[dlgpffps]

78.50! Yu-na rocks the house
I'm in awe with this lady, this primma donna, this powerhouse skater! I love her
and wish her the best of luck in the LP!

Diana Kim has already been propped up by judges. She does not deserve that score.

Yeah, but to say that and to say that you hope she bombs the LP are two different things.

Diana Kim has already been propped up by judges. She does not deserve that score.

And we do not deserve to be forced to suffer through your hate. Constructive criticism will get you better results.

The "chosen" one for the men didn't win so they probably want to make sure the chosen won for the females wins lol

A score for Akiko? NBC cut out

 

[Lotta]

WHAT?!?!?! NBC is chacking Alena Leonova's performance!? :scowl:

Maybe they'll chack Granny after Rocket Rochette skates...

 

[Hikaru]

woa! so proud of Mao for finally nailing the short, of Yuna for skating so great under pressure! and Mirai, still holding right up there! and Akiko great step sequence!! they are really putting their best presentations, yay!

 

[skatemom1122]

Mao is by no means out of this event. We've seen Yu-Na bomb this year in the LP. Doesn't have her usual 10+ point after the short.

 

[ARipp42014]

I prefer Ksenia over Alena! :sheesh:

 

[watchvancouver]

Diana Kim's jumps were borderline underrotated based on NBC's slow mo.

 

[CdnSkateWatcher]

Joannie has an entirely new short program dress ... and it's quite something!

 

[Mrs. P]

We got a peppy, clean Alena tonight! YAY!

Diana Kim's jumps were borderline underrotated based on NBC's slow mo.

I thought so, too

 

[nghtvsn]

It should have been closer between Asada and Kim. Way to sap any suspense out of this event guys.

This just means that Mao is going to have to have the 2 3a jsut to compete and/or Miki (assuming she's close) is going to need everything to be close. However, I also think Yu Na is going to need to pull out more than just 5 triples to win the OGM if those two things occur.

A score for Akiko? NBC cut out

61.02, in 6th at the moment.

 

[TCAngel18]

she definitely deserves that score!.....remember, she didnt get lights out pcs like the dancers, those were fair, but her 8 elements were performed very well, with the according + goe given as a reward.....so her SP score is very fair

 

[skatemom1122]

Yeah, but to say that and to say that you hope she bombs the LP are two different things.

watchvancouver, your comments are disgraceful and disgusting. I can really feal your Olympic spirit.

they are showing Joanne, doing her laces. She looks composed. A small smile even.

Guys, instead of falling for a certain troll's behaviour, hit the Report Post button under it's user name!!

Not at all surprised by the results so far. I actually thought Mao under rotated both the Triple Axel and the Flip. The Flip especially looked close to two footed. Whereas Yu Na's jumps were squeaky clean and for those crying foul....Yes, Mao did attempt a Triple Axel, but she tacked a double on to it. Yu Na did a Triple Triple, which is more points regardless how you slice it, so not sure where the problem is.

Other than those who need my white cane worse than I do that is....

GO JOANNIE!!!!!
