Mai Mihara

[The Finn]

it was such a freak fall at SP but she came back with a bang! silver lining is that even if she landed 3F at SP she would have been 4th (one can argue that she still deserved it but oh well )

4th or 5th doesn't make that much of a difference but because of the tech panel usa got three spots for olympics, which they didn't deserve, and some other nation lost a spot they deserved.

Her FS TES score was very impressive 74.40 points - 6th highest of any lady and less than 0.5 points behind who has the 5th highest FS TES score. Satoko has the highest FS TES among Japanese skaters.

6th highest ever? :eeking: wow, that is some achievement with still much room to grow! :hap57: btw i really love her 1st spin, esp 2nd part of it and it matches the music :luv17:

So happy for Mai, that fs was amazing! My favorite free from the ladies

 

[daphenaxa]

flawless queen

Mai was the shiniest of all in Free Program :luv17: But I kind of hope her next season program will be different style. The judges are giving her average PCS for her outstanding speed and soft knee bends... and I think it's partly because she's considered juniorish. With right programs and clean skates she will break 140 easily

Even though Zhenia is about 4 points ahead of Mai we must remember than some very well known skaters like Wagner and Kostner have never scored more than 68 FS TES points. Asada, Tuktamysheva and Pogorilaya have got 73 points at best, Lipnitskaya and Radionova have got 71 points at best.

Very impressed by Mai's technical prowess and mental toughness. I've noticed that when she was in the green room and the camera zoomed at her after Pogo's performance, she tried to smile at the audience and then looked away and she seemed empathetic for Pogo.
Here's to hope that she'll play spoiler next season. I'm bummed that she would have to fight with 5-6 other ladies for the 2nd Olympics spot, while frankly the Americans didn't deserve 3 spots.

Not sure how you figure. Had Chen placed 5th and Mihara 4th, USA would still have earned three spots and Japan two. Mihara would have had to place 2nd to earn three spots with Higuchi in 11th and Hongo in 16th.

Thank you for the information! I watch figure skating for the first time in 4cc this year. I admire her skating skill. It looks like she's always happy while skating. And she's so cute ><.

P.S. I love her scream at the end of 4cc competiton! ><.

Are there any news clip of her? With that free skate she should get much more media exposure.

 

[LRK]

I was listening to this, and I think some parts of the music to Lorna Doone would suit Mai very well:

And in this one, for example from 2.25 & 7.38

havent seen any but i am not surprised if there isnt any considering how little coverage Satoko gets but i agree she shuld get more coverage!

really loved this one, esp THIS PART, btw i would really love to see Mai working with Tom Dickson, i think he would create another masterpiece he did with Satoko

and good news, Mai is in the cast of Fantasy on Ice!!!, i am sure it will be great learning experience for her since there are many awesome skaters :hap57:

 

[thoakun]

I've just googled Mai and there're several articles in which she said how Mao inspired her to skate and keep going, that she couldn't stop crying when Mao announced her retirement. She also revealed that last year, she got a hug from her idol at Skate America and she had to pinch her cheeks to make sure that it wasn't a dream. After finishing Worlds, she kept watching Mao's free skate in Sochi to cheer herself up.

What a strong girl, working hard until her idol became her rival
