Mai 

 

It's going to very close...

So, this is the classy (and badass) way to react to not being part of the Olympics team: you don't complain over the inevitable fact that not everyone can go, skate your heart out and give a stunning performance like this on what might not be 'the' tournament of the year, but still means more and more in the figure skate world.

They just knocked down her TES. I just.

Make a japanese streak for podium, Satton! 

And, they kept her below Kaori as expected (dont get me wrong, loved kaori, but you knew she would not be ahead of the olys picks)...

And I loved Mai's 3S.

(I'm such a terrible person. I forgot Satoko was even here.)

Oh! Didn't see that coming 

They were both beautiful. But Mai, I love her.

Fall from the 3S! 

Uhm... a fall is -3... judges

Japanese old ladies with banners are the best

Let's see. With a fall, will Miyahara still get to be placed ahead of Kaori? 

I mean, who am I kidding here.

All three deserve to go to the Olympics. Such a shame.
