The last sentence can be insulting to them.

I know Mao was not called for UR on a jump which she said she URed (Usually, she very rarely mentions her URs).<br />I acknowledge that Dai had a performance of his life and am glad for him. That said, I think that his GOEs were inflated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-43150653688915634172012-12-26T13:17:35.264-08:002012-12-26T13:17:35.264-08:00Yuzuru has by far the best short program on the me...Yuzuru has by far the best short program on the men's side this season - it's well constructed to rack up points and it's loose and free to allow him to express himself a bit better - very smart choice.<br />That Satoko girl is good!

Check out her interview she gave after the nationals if you think I am lying. I have said this before and I will say it again. No one can come close when Mao is ON. She is the true queen of our era. Carolina Kostner isn't bad herself, but in terms of combination of artistry and difficulty of techniques, there is none to compare. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
