Wow that was un expected

Mai  that's all right, we know you can fight back. Alina bb I'm so sorry I've jinxed you. But you can fight back too

Today I would have given the edge to wakaba, then gabby but they were both on fire. I'm not sure of Elena's TES tbh

So it was Wakaba's 3F... need to rewatch that

Granted I have no idea how to assess stsq, so if anyone please can tell me whether Waka and Mai really deserve level 3, while the others got level 4?

 

Also, Waka got ! on the flip.

 

JP ladies were all punished in TR???

She has a dodgy Flip, it's well known. Why her team doesn't switch to 3Lo is one big mystery. Sigh. 

German Eurosport really loved wakaba. During Mai's skate, Hendryk said that he thinks Mai is the best Japanese ladies skater right now. Then Sigi said he likes Wakaba more. 

 

After Wakaba's skate, Hendryk said, OK, I now think Wakaba is the best Japanese skater. I change my mind. This blew me away ^^

Yea, the unclear edge is fair... while watching her practices I kept on thinking that. Oh well.

IMarin's 3F, Alina's 3lo, Lena's 3T were UR but didnt get the call. Surprise that Marin got all level 4 though. 

 

And a +2 on Gabby's layback

Oh well is the phrase of the day but so apropos! 

As much as I loved all the top 3 girls, Wakaba should have gotten better PCS. She got better PCS in Russia of all places. 

I just checked Wakaba's CoR protocols, she got 33PCS there with a UR and a ! on the 3F........ I'm seriously just baffled at how the judges aren't seeing how much power and passion she brings to her skates ugh and also how they're somehow not giving her higher PCS that correspond to a more technically clean skate. U g h )):<

Radionova's UR did not get called, seriously, the qq live broadcast were all calling it...sigh....well just one triple jump between the top7, so hope all the japanese girls go clean in the free.

Tbh Lena's 3T was downgraded, not just UR 

The ladies and the worlds ticket sales are a very bad cocktail for my nerves

Lena got the highest PCS of the day?!  beating gabby, wakaba, mai and marin? oh come on judges and don't even start on her URs not called at all
