MIRAI MIRAI MIRAI MIRAI MIRAI
before we got her scores, i went to rewatch her program even though i hate that awful violin rendition of chopin's most overrated nocturne. i had to. it wasn't a mere girl skating but a superheroine. she ended up being the only one i rewatched. going for that axel is superhuman - liza knows it's not very rewarding points-wise. these two deserve all the respect and admiration for going for it anyway. and that i-spin!
that was a great skate. and a great performance.
Mirai is slowly building her case for inclusion on the U.S. Olympic team. No under-rotation on the triple Axel. If she is worried that the triple Axel takes a lot out of her for the rest of the program, then doing it in the short and not the long makes perfect sense (like Liza Tuktamysheva in her world championship season). :yes:
