I love it but i like her performance more on Skate America 2006 SP, same program but cleaner spirals and went to a beillman spin on her spirals. Her spins was better before though, compared now
Thanks for posting this-I'm getting psyched for the Games by watching vintage videos of Miki and Co.! She's a real favorite of mine and I hope she does awesome at the Olympics in Vancouver.
i think shes got great flexibility, it takes miki so little effort to pull her free leg from the sit position into an i spin. many skaters really struggle to pull their leg into an upright position. her stsq is also very fast, i hope she got great GOE for it.
miki has grown into quite the beautiful competitor. this music makes me cringe though...i always think of mk in the 02 lp and a tear in my eye always forms.
Her back is more flexible if you watch her famous beerman spin in Russia Cup 2005 short program video. Her right shoulder had broken during the Japan Cup game in 2006. She has to avoid beerman spin and things to do with her right shoulder, otherwise her right shoulder dislocates again.
She is planning to go for surgery after the 2008 world skating game, and it takes at least 3 months to get back to skate after the surgery.
Her jumps were great! Her spins good (but she has to get lower on the sit spins) but other wise good, spiral was ok as well. Miki though has improved tremendoly in the past 2 years. I love her SP this year to Sampson & Deliah. Gooo MIKI!!!!!! ~KJ
im surprised dick and peggy didnt mention the clear outside edge of the triple flip, making it a "lip". instead dick chose to critisize the back sit spin which looked fine lol.
MIKI ANDO deserved to win this world champions figure skating 2007,some how i feel she skated not as power as MAO ASADA but soft and her performance more lovely.Both of these JAPANESE ladies are the best this time in TOKYO thought,especially on home soil is perfectly!
Her landings are so soft! I am so happy that she won the event. Ever since I saw her strong skate at the 2006 Campbell's, I've been routing for Miki! My favorite Japanese female skater. I can't wait until the quad starts showing up!

I agree-her injury truly hampered her layback spin especially which used to be very nice-even Dick and Peggy complimented it in the pass.

she is really great but it would be nice if her back was more flexible and if she would sit down more on the sit spin.
