2018 Skate Canada Ladies Short Program

[Interspectator]

Wierd music but adooorable performance. :luv17:

 

[Mathman]

That's gotta go first! The music alone should give her an extra ten points!

 

[yude]

What language is this in Mako's SP? Very nice performance!

 

[mishulyia]

Is this coach Mie Hamada?

 

[CellarDweller]

When did Minnie Mouse start singing light operetta?

 

[Metis]

I will forever remember this as the Minnie Mouse on Helium programme.

Yamashita really hitting us with the technical merit. Very good GOE through the majority of the elements, especially the opening 3Lz+3T in the +3/+4 range for me and a strong 2A as well as a 3F (I think it might get a ! call but let's see). I like her edging through the program, her ability to gather speed is effortless. I'm not really a fan of the musical choice, but I think she does the best she can with it. Maybe having a few more moves to accentuate the lyrics would help, but she was light and dainty through the program.

I think we all miss Ted. Even the sound of his voice. I watched the practices just to hear him again. Why can't he just have a radio show so we can hear him all the time?

Why did Skate Canada send Ted to Laval if he doesn't get to commentate? :disapp: I'll never get it...

Is this coach Mie Hamada?

It's Mihoko - Shoma Uno's coach! (IDK if you remebered his LP Loco - that vocal was tragic too)

 

[leoleo]

well at least a mouse was employed to sing this so good job mako for landing your jumps and creating opportunities in the animal kingdom

 

[karne]

I miss Ted, seriously.

No commentary at all is a little weird, but you don't want to have to listen to TAT or even SBS man - athough SBS doesn't seem to be streaming this GP, which is rude because there's Aussies in it.

SBS has pairs and men live.

Great skate by Mako but WTH that yellow mesh + orange tights combo??? She needs to hit up Starr's dressmaker utterly fabulous otherwise though!

I wonder if they just decide "close enough" when making the mesh? This makes her look like she has jaundice. Nono.

 

[invisiblespiral]

My stream just died.

 

[ancientpeas]

That's gotta go first! The music alone should give her an extra ten points!

Was this questionable taste in music caused my something you cooked in the popcorn popper?

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Mariah's up. Tell me when it's safe to look

 

[jillredhand]

Go Mariah!! Bring the Celine drama!

 

[firal]

Solid jumps, annoying music, good first outing for Mako!

 

[frida80]

What happened to her tech score? Did they call another phantom lip? This is maddening!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Why did Skate Canada send Ted to Laval if he doesn't get to commentate? :disapp: I'll never get it...

I think it's for his actual job or something? Like he's director of something, he mentioned it at the last JGP.

Still they should take advantage of having him there!

I didn’t think anyone would top Nicole Schott as the embodiment of Human Ambien, but there’s always Mariah.

I’ve probably seen her skate a good dozen times and then forgotten the performance immediately afterward every time.
