Japanese Nats PBP/Spoiler Thread

128+ with the fall Did she do any triple-triple?

Kanako popped the lutz but rest of the program was clean!
Good job skating last in this stressful event.

Nope, but everyone here is pretty inflated. Also, even with the fall it looks like Akiko attempted seven triples compared to Yukari's six (I think).

So now it's official!

MAO WON!

We can celebrate!

Miki's off the podium.



But I'm super glad for Mao, Akiko and Yukari! I wonder who's staying home between Akiko and Yukari. I just know that I might cry for who stays.

Sigh, true. Both of them are such talented skaters, it is sad for any of them to stay at home. Too bad there is only a max for 3 spots.

Well, that's it - JSF is screwing up Miki & Nobunari.

Good thing they're already qualified!

Yey! And I'm still alive..! ^o^

Yey!!!!! Mao's JN 4 title!!!!!!!!!

OMG! I was dreading reading posts and scrolling the pages real slow I was so nervous esp when I read about Yukari's score. Then I saw the post that Mao got 204 and I just shouted like crazy here. YES!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy I'm about to cry. waah! My 2yr old niece just arrived home from vacation and was showing everyone the gifts she received when I casually said Mao will skate. She dropped everything and didn't know where to look for my laptop. Now she's running like crazy whenever I say Mao's name... told her I'd call for her when it's Mao's turn to skate.

But this is quite heartbreaking for Akiko or Yukari... only 0.17 difference? Gosh! Somebody posted that the Olympic team will be named by 9pm. Is this JST?

Final Results:
1 Mao ASADA 204.62 1 1
2 Akiko SUZUKI 195.90 4 2
3 Yukari NAKANO 195.73 2 3
4 Miki ANDO 185.44 3 4
5 Kanako MURAKAMI(Jr1) 176.61 5 5
6 Haruka IMAI(Jr2) 166.16 7 6
7 Fumie SUGURI 161.29 6 9
8 Ayumi GOTO 159.15 8 8
9 Nana TAKEDA 158.81 12 7
10 Yukiko FUJISAWA(Jr3) 157.88 9 11
11 Karen KEMANAI(Jr6) 150.97 19 10

Time to go to the regular Nats thread and watch the broadcast everyone!

Yep. I'll let you know when it's time - there's about an hour and a half left until the JSF makes the decision.

Agreed.

I feel torn...I like both Yukari and Akiko a lot...

But I'm still reeling about Mao!

I really hope Yukari will be in the team.

Yukari and Akiko both have the same PCS score: 63.28 Akiko got higher TES, though, even with the fall.

It's a good thing. It's a bad thing that the rule "those who have already qualified must show up for Nationals or they lose the berth" is in place. What was the point? To humiliate the qualifiers? "Yes, please show up. We'll give you about the same PCS that you receive internationally, while boosting your competitors PCS by kazillion points and downgrade only your elements. Good luck." Nice payment for actually bringing Japan the most medals this season.

Nationals show the international judges who does the federation support... We've seen how fast Takahiko's scores dropped when he was no longer Japan's no 1.

I hope the case will be more like with Yags, whose federation disliked him so much that he hasn't won even a single one National title... but a bunch of international ones.

YAHHHH FOR MAO !!!
