Ok, im wrong... didnt believe she would get the calls... wow. The judges marked correctly?? She rightfully got high PCS but I thought the stars had aligned for her.... and that is the potential disaster that could happen at Olys despite her skating cleanly. You never know if she will get calls.... im shocked.

thought Satton will cement her place as one of the 2 ladies for team Japan olys for sure, but with this it's still open I guess 

Masha consistently getting silver... shoulda picked her for silver but I just forget about her.. always..

 same here... 

Masha might have made her claim of the third spot much stronger now... 

J Nats might still have some drama after all. I still think Satoko is the fed darling, and Wakaba had a stellar series up until today so her stock is high, but there might be some wiggle room on the day.

Ikr I almost picked her for bronze but I chose Wakaba instead cause I want her to podium  she's in a good way to grabbing that 3rd spot for Russia tho despite the recent olys issue

I thought she had it in the bag until I saw that score.

She should pretty much have it now, I think, unless she does really badly at Russian Nationals.

 

The last few months, she has done a lot of medal-grabbing for Russian figure skating, even if she never won.

Equal (or as equal as you can get) playing field for the Japanese ladies at JNats now... Let me die...

the audience was as shook as me at the score 

Well... my podium is a mess anyway, but at least I got Alina... so Eteri swept ladies golds  (plus two other medals)

And again, what's happened to the tech panel overnight? 

And wow Caro almost got to the podium

Poor Waka, and Satoko kept her poise despite the shock. 

Not a brilliant gpf for jpn, across disciplines.

Jr ladies stole the show (and Alina is barely out of juniors herself )

And Maria got silver, as everytime I place her out of podium  I bring her luck  Now her chances for the third only spot are even higher

Please russians at Olys please

Oh my girl Wakaba I hate to see her sad face. That skyfall LP is still great no matter what. She will fight back at National

I'm surprise they call Satoko's jumps. I guess they dont want her to surpass Osmond. That's the risk when you bet on Satoko. She always stay on her feet but they can call her jumps whenever they want. I hardly ever seen she land a fully rotated 3lz3t and her flip is always 3Fe<, even before the injuries. She could be 2nd or 5th with the same program, depend on judges, and how other top contenders skate. 

No clean skate, only top 2 break 70 TES. The junior ladies were way better.

Yeah, in juniors Eteri-students got all three medals. And even another one of her girls skated clean at the grand prix finals. That competition was insane. Seniors weren't quite as clean, but it was still exciting. Eteri and her charges can go home with big smiles.

 

Not to mention she has another junior, who might be better than all of them, but is getting back from injury now.

Maria has been so consistent... she seems slow, has a rather bland style, but her skating is easy to watch and her jumps have improved. Far fewer urs these days. And, I like that she is tall, proving you do not have to be tiny in this sport. Russian Nats will also be interesting for that 3rd spot!!!!
