I thought Kanako's SP fit her personality and the energy she poured into it made it one of the best of the year for me...minus the sugar shock you get afterwards.<br /><br />As much as I tend to detest Carolina Kostner b/c of the obvious cheating that goes on whenever she skates, I have to say she had a great SP package this year (minus the jumps). The choreography and costume were gorgeous and she performed it well a number of times.<br /><br />Akiko often gets passed over because Japans field is so damn deep, BUT she consistently has amazingly choreographed, musical and entertaining programs. She's never given her due though...<br /><br />I'm too enthralled with The Kwan to get swept up in Rachael's East of Eden...somehow she ends up somewhere South-West of Eden for me. I don't believe in letting a piece of music carry 90% of the load; it's cheap and a total cop-out but that's all she could do. Bless her heart, she's a boringly bland skater and that was the only way to wake people up when she skates.<br /><br />For her sake, I hope she goes to Stanford full-time and drops skating for a while. She's gone as far as she's gonna go...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382436146860017151.post-44002037183238455452011-04-11T21:28:33.467-04:002011-04-11T21:28:33.467-04:00The Ladies SPs are so awful this season, sometimes...The Ladies SPs are so awful this season, sometimes I don't even watch and just wait for the results, and then MAYBE watch the top 3. It is pretty sad that Flatt probably has the best SP this season. That pretty much captures it all. Mao's tango is awful - I can't believe she is the same skater who delighted us with Por Una Cabeza a couple of years back. You could swap Czisny's with any generic slow, pretty music. Hopefully Yu-na can bring something interesting to the table at worlds, because honestly, I don't even know if I'll bother to watch the ladies SPs...although the men's are quite interesting this year.Skate Skateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06349169753484409385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382436146860017151.post-66248483481115063692011-04-11T11:02:15.533-04:002011-04-11T11:02:15.533-04:00I agree with you on Mao's tango.

Watching the Japan National last December, I couldn't understand why Mao could receive such higher marks in CH and IN than Akiko. Well, this IS figure skating....mikekohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01892233975678351323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382436146860017151.post-77963641357568694322011-04-10T11:34:12.860-04:002011-04-10T11:34:12.860-04:00Where's Miki's SP (the second one) for thi...Where's Miki's SP (the second one) for this season?? :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
