So google translate announced Tomoko Miyahara next. Is she the sister of Satoko?

Hi, babayaga, I think that's a problem with google translation...I'd probably suggest to skip the person names, as they may not be faithfully translated!

Thanks COHK, unfort unately it's not just the names. Yu Matsuda just landed a triple flip, a triple-flops, she also landed triple true preferences

I'm glad it isn't just my computer. I knew that whole Mao shallow was not right.

I want to go to sleep so bad, but I know I won't be able to until Mao competes.

Mao's dressed practice today...only with a jump:

COHK, so was that Satoko who just skated and earned 60 points?

Yes!

That was a beautiful 3A, it was so fast, I thought it was a 2A until I saw it in slow motion

I thought so too, I didn't realize it was a triple until the slow motion

All the news and clips makes me want to learn Japanese sooo bad....
Anyway, i thought it was a 2a at first, and then i watch it again for like 3 times, then i realized it was a 3a. I guess my knowledge about jump is improving :p

Can somebody tell me, was that a clean 3a?

Gorgeous!! I like that she looks happy and relaxed.

Result from 1st two groups, taken from GSF, posted by NMURA:

1 宮原知子 Satoko Miyahara 60.19 3Lz-3T 3F 2A
2 本郷理華 Rika Hongo 56.61 3T-3T 3F 2A
3 新田谷凛 Rin Nitaya 53.49 3T-3T 3S 2A
4 松田悠良 Yura Matsuda 51.29 3F 3T-3T 2A
5 上野沙耶 Saya Ueno 48.29 3T-2T 3Lo 2A
6 村元哉中 Kana Muramoto 47.49 2S 3T-2T 2A
7 大庭雅 Miyabi Oba 42.23 3Lo fall 3F fall 2A
8 鈴木沙耶 Saya Suzuki 41.90
9 鈴木美桜 Mio Suzuki 40.74
10 廣野真衣 Mai Hirono 39.39
11 松嶋那奈 Nana Matsushima 39.30
12 遠山由華 Yuka Toyama 38.27

Is it that only top 24 will go into FS? From the live update website, it seems that Miyabi Oba wouldn't make it to top 24...

On which channel it will be broadcasted?! I wanna try to watch it with KeyHole TV...

I soo want Mao to go for 3A!! Today is the best chance to try it without losing much if it doesn't work..

Mao has started!

Broadcasting will start at 19:00 JPN time on Fuji TV, about 2.5 hours later.

Oh no
Still, better here than 4 Continents or Worlds IMO.

Oh... I got up pretty early to watch it because I thought they're broadcasting it live... Oh well...

Shame about the popped loop...!

Still damn good for a program with a popped jump.

Oh no She did 2a right? I don't like that, she looked so confident in practice.

62.81=29.77+33.04

I thought so for a while there too!
And sometimes Mao jumps such large 2As (the amount of time she's in the air seems long), I mistake them for 3As; the other way around.

But heck, I never imagined she'd do a 3A during dress practice!
The press seems to be divided into two; those which don't think Mao will attempt 3A no matter what, and those which still think there's a chance she might.
I myself have no idea...

Good to know Satoko is in first so far...as expected.
But like Miyabi Oba too, so her results are a bit of a disappointment.

Same here! I hope Fuji TV will broadcast as many girls as they can...tonight's broadcast starts from 19:00 and ends at 23:10! If they use most of the time running commercials, I'm gonna get real pissed!

Btw...Maos' orange SP dress wasn't an old temporary one after all??? Or was it afterall a totally new dress???

And thanks for your kind words linglang! You're one of the nicest people here!

ETA:62.81 isn't all that bad, cheer up guys! "Afterall, tomorrow is another FS!"
