It's funny, because I actually like M/C and L/D but I am not a fan of their programs this year. These two pairs entertained me the most this JGP season.

Random note: if ladies' went by scores, Yamashita would be in instead of Honda.
To be honest Honda really shouldn't be here. She is getting way too much push from the judges. Without the big push from judges she wouldn't have made it to the final.

Skating quality matters, you know. And Marin has a lot of that, even if she messes up her SPs.

Wow why????
I'm much more happier for Honda than I would be for Yamashita
Still can't forget Yukohama judging((((((
^ But Yamashita's total best score is actually from Talinn Cup..?
So far Honda always peaked late in the season, so I think it's a success for her to qualify at all.
She has issues with halluxes and doesn't like practicing 3F and 3Lz because of that; her coach said that they are going to work on that this season. I wonder if it worked. She seemed to be in a great condition during the Kinki regionals this weekend, though.

It's like saying falling objects get too much push from gravitation.
Marin Honda is getting high marks, because she's Marin Honda, the world champion in figure skating. Queen of grace, looks, interpretation, projection, effortless jumps, connection with audience and overall adorableness. Nobody asks Elizabeth II, why she's wearing the crown, she'd been born like that.
Remember the interview with Mie Hamada about "Japanese school" of skating? The beauty of simplicity? Marin's skating is an epitome of it. :luv17:

I am not sure what the ban was about, but it doesn't look like it stops them coming back again and again...they have a very distinctive writing style
The pairs and Ice dance teams were pretty easy to predict, even Boikova/Kozlovskii whom I named as possible surprise finalist.
By the way, I noticed that I have started a fan thread for 4 out of 6 pairs who made it to the final. That's pretty good.

I see where you are coming from but it's also unfair because she never really had a meltdown.
Yes, she made like one to two big mistake in each competition but the rest was awesome so....and her scores are not even that huge.
I can give it to you that she got lucky on how things played out in her 2 events, especially Zagitova's unfortunate meltdown. But Honda won fair and square her two silver medals. She skated a gorgeous LP in Japan to win silver medal (with a mistake in the SP) and skated well enough in her second one (where Zagitova got some absurd PCS scoring in SP and then had the unfortunate meltdown in the LP) to claim a second silver. Whether you agree with her scores or not, she is in the final because of the points given by her 2 silvers. By saying that she should not be in the final, you are saying that she did not deserve her medals. Which of her two silvers she didn't deserve?

Well Nugumanova was also gifted in Saransk. How many under-rotated jumps in the FS did she have overlooked by the technical panel? IMO Yuna S was lowballed (just like Samodurova was in Yokohama) for the podium sweep.
Also true, but Konstantinova got a silver with how many falls in the long?
