The sad thing is that her basic skating skills are far superior to Meissner and this program is a joy to watch while Meissner's is a chore. Nagasu should have been the 07 senior US champ. This program is sublime.
Mirai and Caroline Zhang- the future is NOW!! With the likes of Kimmie, Mao, Yu-na Kim, and Miko Ando, skating is once again becoming a lot more interesting... thank god!
Barring injuries, this young lady could very well be the next Olympic champion. Yes, Mao has the triple axel and is a beautiful skater. But her spirals pale in comparison with Mirai's, and Nagasu has one of the finest lay back spins I've ever seen.
She's got some steep hills to climb before she'll be winning an Olympic Gold. Mao Asada, (whose spirals are also beautiful, have you seen her new program?) Yu-Na Kim, Caroline Zhang, Kimmie Meissner, Miki Ando, Karolina Kostner, etc. If she does want to get to that level, she'll certainly need to start throwing some triple-triples into her programs.
she is stunning. I can't wait for her to start the senior circuit. the US needs a girl like her. Beautiful jumps.... peefectly capable of a triple triple. Would love to see her try the triple axel one day.!!
Mirai is the BEST skater EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm figure skater my self and I know what good and bad skating is and that was the best skating I've ever seen! Well, at least from a 13-year-old! My friend goes to her school and She took her senior free skate test at my rink! She will surely earn the Olympic gold medal if does!
i agree with axeldreams. but i would probably be tired next day... but she might be used to it. i have to get up at 6 on saturday mornings and its not really that bad. <333
I totally agree with axeldreams, i gave up my evenings so that i could go get homework done (not at the weekend anymore =( thats my break) and to go to sleep early, just so i could skate every morning b4 school. Its a killer routine, but its all worth it =)! Oooh and i think Mirai has tons of potential! Her double axel is amazing! Especially for her age!
ill laugh when she gets hurt. she must be crazy. how long does she think she can keep doing that before her body breaks down. sleeping in the storage room? psycho. marvelous and completely genius... but psycho.
Wouldn't you give up your life for something you absolutely love? Sleeping in the storage room for a future World title (or maybe even an Olympic gold medal along the way) is not nearly as bad as you think it is.

rmusic1112, how can you call mirai's life "psycho"? she has a goal and she's working so hard to reach it, if you call her determination and persistence "psycho" then you must be one of those aimless people who have no will power, or what most people call LOSER. next time you call someone "psycho," why don't you see if you're mentally unstable or not? how sad.. you're so young but you already scoff at hard working people.. you'll lead an interesting life, to say the least.
I like all asian skaters.... They have enough elegance to shine and also the quality of their skating is brilliant. I think the American skaters can look to the Asians for example of extraordinary artistry in skating. And the acceptional asian american skaters have plenty to show their pride in.
i do this routine as practice and i have to tell you, it is not easy! but i managed... anywee, other than a few errors, she was great in this performance!
nicely done! Love her skating and her adorable pink costume. Makes her look incredibly pretty in pink and oh, so cheerful! Life would be beautiful if all the skaters were so cheerful while performing their lovely program.
I wonder if shcould do triple-triples or a triple axel. Then she might challenge Mao Asada, Miki Ando, Yu-Na Kim, and Kimmie Meissner for the coming Olympics.
Shizuka is NOT boring. Oh come on! Mirai and Zhang are definitely interesting skaters, but Shizuka has her own elegance and style! How dare you call poor Shizuka BORING!!!! A zap to da head.
That was only my opinion, anibeth39. I can't consider ALL skaters vivid and exciting, can I? Just as you may think some skaters I like are boring. I have no problem with that at all.
i so agree, there are skaters that won medals but when i watched their programs, they were like sticking their arms out like uncontrollable dead branches, quite disappointing....i luv this girl, i luv young jpns skaters, u've Mao Asada? sugoi...
Hopes she goes to the Olympics! She deserves it!

Wow!!!! That was crazy.
Caroline Zhang and Mirai Nagasu will give Kimmie, Mao, and other seniors a run for their money.
I just turned 12 and I have all my doubles and am working on my double axel.
I'm hoping for senior level at age 16 or 17.
But first I got to get my triples
Anyway, I think her spirals are marvelous as well as Caroline's
They're unbelieveable.

No doubt she and Zhang have a great chance at winning the gold in Vancouver. However, they will have to beat Asada and Kim.
Was Nagasu's last triple in this lp fully rotated?
