Not that it's important, but I think Miu Sato's sp costume looks like Mao's Caprice costume.

ETA: if you don't watch men FS and ladies' SP pls don't click the links. some details of men's FS but no protocols yet http://www.skatingjapan.jp/National/2011-2012/fs_j/national/data0105.htm I just don't get the SS between Dai and Taka and I don't think Yuruzu and Taka's TR gap is that small.

So happy for Kanako, especially when I saw her corrected the hammer toe pick on flip!!! She has very beautiful long line, and the ice coverages of each jump is amazing. Given enough time, she will become a big star.
Mao had a clean program today. Her speed is much better than before, and transitions are seamless. Her jumps are good, though some landings are kinda wobbling. Maybe she is still recovering from her mother's death. What a strong young lady, she should be proud of herself.

Yeah, one of the Japanese blogs I looked at said that Mao's 3Lo was a little off/crooked in the air but she managed to land it on one foot. She still doesn't have great flow coming out of her loop jumps, but I guess that is something they will continue to work on...

Thanks for the links kirakira!
^In the above video, they interviewed Mao's photographer it seems like? Do skaters have photographers assigned to them or am I on the wrong track? Can anyone translate what he said about Mao?
Medalist on Ice- do they invite skaters from other countries usually? Just wondering what Pat Chan is doing there lol...
But my, that ending pose and the expression on Mao's face, is truly something special. I think her expression told a million words.
