2017 CS US International Classic Ladies FS

[andromache]

Funny but not funny Mariah did not get any credit for one of her spins. Didn't Kimmie Meisner get a ratified triple axel?

Only at Nationals, I believe, so not at an ISU event.

Seriously though - I am legitimately concerned about not being able to access GS during the Olympics . I need to discuss things with people in real time! It's very important to my enjoyment!

Japanese Nationals is going to be a heartbreaker for the ladies. Marin and Wakaba look very, very solid. Satoko has always left me cold, but she's definitely an exquisite spinner, and I know she has lots of fans on here. I'm Team USA 5ever, but really, we should probably give our 3rd spot to them if we were able to.

Satoko is super consistent and there is Mai, who we will see next week.
I am sure Japanese fans, including me, will be happy to donate, if anyone/country offer us extra spot(s):gaah:

Not by ISU. She didn't land it in an international competition.

 

[artsciboy]

Turns out it was all but the 3A (and first 3F) that was UR instead

To be completely fair to Mirai, her 3axel, 3flip and 3loop were fully rotated.

 

[frida80]

Aw! Their so popular! Signing autographs before they leave the ice.

 

[lady_bee]

Why does it seem as though the US women are chronic under-rotaters? Is it training? Technique? Harsh judging?

I think it 's not US problem, but generation problem.
Skaters who trained under previous rules tend to have same problem.

 

[yelyoh]

Ah thank you. I guess it was just at Nats.

 

[burntBREAD]

Ah yeah, forgot about the 3Lo super late in the program. It's just so Mirai to rotate the 3A and the very end 3Lo as well (which she'd been struggling with earlier) and struggle with the other triples , but again can't take away the two fully rotated axels in both SP/LP! That's huge.

 

[kalle]

Typical start of the season for miss Nagasu and her beloved UR's. To be honest, I am not too worried as she normally clean up her act later in the season. She should be very proud of her 3A and I am sure already next outing of this program will be better. She is here to play this year and I hope the season will work out well for her.

 

[EdgeCall]

Agreed. No ur, but it was 2footed, unfortunately. I was rooting for Marin, but after Mirai landed that 3A I thought, ok, she would make an incredible champion. The rest of the program was such a shame, but the 3A seems to make Mirai's skating more alive (unlike her face for some years now).

Slightly twofooted, yes. But ok, it's too late anyway. Maybe I should put a little * behind Mirai's name as a reminder that she cannot rotate a triple except the 3A.

 

[Mango]

What would Marin have scored at Lombardia? I'm guessing over 200 at least, if not 210.

No doubt. Still bitter about the judging at that event. I'm actually surprised at how they really went after the girls here for their URs, nice job judges!

3A<. As always.

Just felt like a continuation of World Team Trophy though so no complaints from me.

 

[frida80]

This this weekend we got:


Shoma scored a personal best and landed 5ish quads.
Max landed his 4T in both his SP and FS.
Nathan lands a 4Lo for the first time.
Mirai lands two 3A and one clean.
Both the JW gold and silver win their first senior competitions.

The season has started with a bang! Did I miss anything?

 

[randomfan]

As for Marin, I think her PCS should've been a little lower, but the TES seemed right. Also, it seems that she collapsed when she got off the ice, but I caught a glimpse of her walking while Mirai was heading to the Kiss and Cry so I hope she's okay now.

 

[yude]

Congratulations to all the medalists!!

I was soooo excited for Mirai!!! I really want to see her at the Olympics, ganbatte!!

Marin said in the article about official practice that it was difficult for her to skate in the high altitude, and so did Mura and maybe Kaori, too, since she also looked more tired than usual.

It was at 2005 US Nationals, the last nationals before IJS. Her triple Axel there was at LEAST a half turn short. Would have been << in today's system.

 

[Seren]

Mirai can rotate her jumps, we've seen her do it. But she needs to really attack them with confidence. Hopefully she'll take what she did here and keep working. If anything is going to give you confidence landing a triple axel should.
