Liza was indeed calm and her performance was really good, but she has a HUGE advantage because she is a "tween". When you're young like she is, your whole emotional chemistry is that of a child and the doubts and insecurities etc. that creep into the young adult mind don't plague her yet. Also, she's tiny and weighs almost nothing yet, so her body defies gravity with much greater ease. Don't get me wrong, Liza is a real genuine talent and should have been scored higher than she was, she is an ice-princess and if she survives puberty intact she will be a major player at Worlds in 2013 and the Olympics in 2014. She had two admirable performances at Skate Canada.
The only senior skater in the Grand Prix that can maybe beat her is Mao. Will they be competing before the Grand Prix Final?

Yeah remember when the lovely Mao first came on the scene beating Irina and Sasha. She had no pressures then. She wasn't eligible to go to worlds or the Olympics but she was beating the women on the gp. Now look at how times have change.
...the US used to always have girls that were contenders. Maybe over 50 years of great US women skaters was bound to come to a end for awhile.
Mao actually lose to Irina in her first Senior GP, and even though she beat Sasha, she did fall there too. She also bombed Junior Worlds and lost to Yu-na there.
I don't think Asada's issues are so much she's older now, Asada's had pressure for years. I think the issues are that her jumping technique was never great, and being older hasn't helped... And I LOVE Asada.
Tukt has a lot to fall back on jump technique wise when she's older.
Didn't Mao beat Irina in something?
I was meaning on the senior circuit. I think she had more pressure on the junior circuit because she was a junior.
What's wrong with Mirai's program? I liked it a lot.
I don't know if Mirai has the commitment to be a champion.
