Stupid judge, holding down her pcs. Anyway WHO FREAKING CARE. Mao just deliver skate of her life and stupid ISU and judge will be just irrelevance, Mao is too good for them.

Exactly, had she skated in the last group or even in the next, her PCS would be huge. But honestly, at the moment I don't care. She delievered. I don't even care about UR's. She delivered!  

Now Mao-chan, skate like this in both SP and LP in Tokyo.  

But I'm so mad at the judge. If even experts like Kurt Browning and Dick Button don't see anything wrong with 3T and 3Lo, why isn't there a rule which demands the tech controller to explain their call?    . The most beautiful and inspiring thing I've ever witnessed in my life is spoilt by those assholes.    

Now, where I can find a video of Mao's performance. I wanna watch it maybe 1000 times

3F-3L< and 2A-3T< but full credit on 6 triples!  So proud of her and so happy that she can show how great she is on the world stage.

Wait what?! excuse me that combo looked perfect, but I was half blind from crying...but it still looked clean.

Now i hope that ALL the others will fall :p again and again and again :p

This is mean, but heck yeah, I'm with you on this.   

Agreed 2a-3t looks good

AKIKO IS NEXT!!!!

I guess they wanted to keep the room, in case Adelina and especially Yulia mess up. Mao was only 9 points from Yulia after SP, 19 from Adelina so Adelina would have to slide on her butt in her LP, for Mao to overtake her. Maybe they were leaving room for Gracie? Gracie needs at least 129 to beat Mao. had they given Mao even close to PCS she deserves, Gracie would need to score over 130.

omg a lot of people can beat Mao
133~: Julia, Ashley
130~: Gracie
124~: top 3

So... idk :(sigh okay maybe I would be at the edge of my seat until the event is over...

They will give it to Yulia for sure, Ashley, I'm not so sure. It's why Mao was held down, so that the main skaters can beat her. Mao can't win a medal. Not gonna happen, but she will end up in top 10, maybe even in top 5. After yesterday, that's an enormous success, and judges can just F... themselves with their PCS bullshit and UR's, that no one else have seen.

im really distracted D: Cant help to think how Mao's PCS would have risen if she was skating in this group...

Zi Jun is clean too... O:

Nobunari also expressed his gratitude to Mao on Twitter.

sigh... it was a beautiful skate though and agreed, i thought the 3a would be UR but not the combos... they were good. D:

The most wonderful thing is that Mao has shown the world that she can do it! Nobody can say that she is just a one-jump skater.

NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL A COMEBACK, i LOOVE YOU MAO FROM ALL MY HEART

THIS. No one else have this layout, not even their queen. 3A, 3-3... And Mao has proven to herself that she can skate a program with such an insane layout, cleanly. I hope so much she'll bring it in Tokyo, and blow everyone away and end her career with another world title.

She is the bravest person and such a fighter. I don't even care what'll happen today with the rest of skaters. Mao was just sublime and will be the talk of the night! So freaking amazing. I can't wait to see it again on youtube. I don't even remember half of it, I was hysterical from joy.   

Mae from France is skating now! and she does 3a in practices, and probably going to uphold the 3a tradition in the future yay!

No one in the ladies FS world could pull off Mao's program, No one.

on a side note, it would bee so nice if she wears the red nocturne dress! I mean like red is her lucky colour no? and it's pretty
(and purple never seem to do well for her at big events )

THIS. and Mao showed today just why she's one of the best skaters in history of this sport. So take that haters!   

The expression on Mr. Sato's face after Mao skated ... I think he had tears in his eyes, a very very little though.

I though Mao would score more, close to 150, but when I saw the slow-mo, I wasn't quite sure about the rotation.

Now, it's OK for me even if she doesn't finish on the podium.  The 16th was too low to narrow the gap.
But I'm very, very happy that Mao nailed it.  Yah, it sucks the judges called -3L and -3T.  But I don't care anymore because it's obvious scores (GOE & PCS) are at judges disposal, they can do what ever they want to do with it. For me her performance tonight was a clean 8 triple program as good as her clean SP GPF 2013.

Thank you Mao-chan so much for joy, delight, smile, emotion and also tears.
You are the true athlete and hero for me

I just hope karma will hit those morons who are judging.  She deserved more. If i see Yulia getting higher PCS...

Yeah, I saw it too.   But very little tears in Mr. Sato's eyes equal Niagara falls in everyone elses, IMO.    he is very reserved.
