Like he has improved his components don't get me wrong, and he absolutely won this SP no questions asked, but why is it this high😭

PCS scores should be cut for falls, but shouldn't send them to the moon for a clean skate either

Happy for ilia though

Maybe? Even though she's in last at the moment the margin is small enough that she can still skate clean without a 3A and still manage a podium if the others continue to be unreliable. Would be historic to see her do it though 😁

I agree. The final podium here is anyone's guess because any of these six women can podium based on these scores!

Very strong Mai Mihara circa 2022 energy here with the up till now fantastic run at the Grand Prix series.

Stellato/Deschamps have been replaced in the GPF😭

Is this Haein Lee's first ranking competition since a Korean court overruled her suspension?

Is this the kind of competition that is forcing skaters like Jim and Yelim to burn out and struggle on the international circuit.

I agree. How am I expected to enjoy Evgenia Medvedeva's Olympics skate when I know that it's the reason she can't even turn her back properly?

It's this kind of atmosphere that bred champions like Carolina Kostner, Mao Asada, and Elizaveta Tuktamysheva.

The Russians will be back at some point, and I don't know what will happen then, but I'm here to see legal women kill it!

We've had such a wonderful resurgence in women's skating - Amber is in the GPF at 25 (still young!!!!), Kaori is winning with no Ultra C element, and skaters like Mai Mihara and Alysa Liu are able to skate for the love of skating and not forced to learn quads that'll break them.

Me after watching Rino Matsuike's long program hahaha
