Japanese Nationals 2015-16 Ladies FS

Honestly, I'm impressed that Mao managed to pull herself together after the 3A mistake. Sometimes when she messes up on the axel, she's shaky for the rest of the performance. Glad it didn't faze her too much here.

 

[Silvia451]

Was the 3A fully rotated?

 

[NicolettaL]

Go go go! Kana-chan!

 

[Plumededragon]

At least, Mao had a nice come back, but it's still not there... Poor Rika.

Apparently Mao just fell on her 3A and had a turnout on her flip

Poor Mao, fell down while waiting for her American lover to come back to the house on a hill in Nagasaki.

Mao in third now with 131.72 it seems.

omgnooo Rika lost by half a point

 

[begin]

Not too bad from Mao. As has happened in previous seasons, I expect her to be in peak form by 4CC or Worlds.

 

[NicolettaL]

by 0.47 points. Oh dear. Poor Rika :sad21::confused2:

 

[jtl8787]

Just beat Rika. Well at least I'll get to see Mao at Boston!

[MeineKatze]

YAY! Mao is going to Worlds! now I have a reason to look forward to worlds after Liza's devastating result at russian nationals :luv17:

 

[solar]

So how many predictions are correct so far? what an event

 

[mirai4life]

but tbh that's kind of low score for mao if she really was clean with the rest of the elements lol

 

[da96103]

Isn't Wakaba too young to go to Worlds? So Ladies 1, 3 and 4 get to go instead?

 

[solar]

but tbh that's kind of low score for mao if she really was clean with the rest of the elements lol

There could've been a few underrotations or edge calls possibly? It's hard to tell without detailed score reports :/

 

[mary01]

but tbh that's kind of low score for mao if she really was clean with the rest of the elements lol

I was just thinking the same

 

[ElenaClaire]

Aw Hongo.. but yes for Mao!

Yes, Wakaba will be sent to Jr Worlds instead
