Senior Ladies SP

Shizuke won fair and square. Sasha's amazing spins/spiral earned her silver which she could have lost under 6.0, and Suguri's weak spins cost her bronze.

I believe Czisny is in fourth.....
But then what would the point of competition be? How is figure skating a sport? We already know who will have the best spins and spirals. The jumps and the overall performance level that day are what determine the placements.
Zhang does though get rewarded for those things. However, Zhang's skating quality in terms of edging, speed isn't first rate. Meissner is much better at these things. And that matters. Nagasu is better at these things as well. If there is one thing, it's that the other youngsters Wagner, Mirai, and Rachael now have an opportunity to break out of Zhang's shadow.
MM!!!! It's a nerve wracking evening after a long day at work and I'm drinking wine....and, well, it's red wine so you might imagine what my laptop screen looks like now...!!!!! Poor Alyssa, seriously with the injury and pain....good for her for going for it despite the injury.
OMG, I never thought I'd say this, but in this competition, the CANADIAN GIRLS could beat the American girls! Shocking.
Not really, after the fall Kimmie played it safe... she did a 3lutz-2toe instead of gettin downgraded on a 3lutz-horrible 3toe... her double axel prolly got +GOE and her spins were good and she had a nice speed and good spins... and yeah, she was inflated with the scores. Our little Zhang still flutzes and was very slow.

You're absolutely right! It's like karma on some of the American viewers who have poked fun at the Canadian women in the past. I'm in the USA, but I've never spoken an ill word at another nation's ladies. Unfortunately, I've seen some very mean-spirited comments on youtube from American posters against the Canadian ladies.
Don't you think the tech caller would've butchered Mira Leung?

Are we saying that no other skaters are comparable to Kimmie Meissner in this event? If there are skaters comparable to her ability, did their performances really lack in other areas besides the obvious mistakes on jumps? Was Zhang's program any better or worse than she's skated the rest of the year when she got much higher marks? If yes, then it is just my own bias speaking, but I don't think that is the case. I think there are plent of skaters who could challenge Kimmie, and when they're all working with major mistakes, I think it should be more of tight race.
In 2000 Michelle Kwan fell on a triple toe in her short program and was in third place. I do not see how this is any different. I know no one has come out and skated a program like Sasha did in that year when she got first, but there is just no way with such an even playing field that Kimmie should be five or six points ahead of Zhang.

Well, all I can say is this is a major chance for Mirai.
I'm excited but also nervous to see Mirai skate.
Aside from falling and stepping out etc, everyone looks....feeble and uninspired should I say.

From reports I've seen on Mira, her jumps in her Canadians SP this year were much improved in rotation.
