Do you realize that Yuna Kim's PCS was essentially around the same mark with the #11 man (Michal Brezina) at the Olympics? Yuna's PCS was 71.50 and Plushenko's and Lysacek's PCS were 82.80. What evidence do I have? I'm looking, right now, at the judge's marks for the 2010 Olympics on both men's and women's sides.
She deserved the bronze medal at the Olympics. But didn't have as competitive program as Asada so not silver. I think there was video posted up on how there was mysterious minute before Nagasu's mark was handed in. The judge were definitely playing around with the numbers so Rochette can win the Bronze. Vanc. Olym. was horrible competition, but still, I was impressed with most of the skaters :). and she's one of them. good luck Nagasu!
@yi81 Do you even understand how the scoring works? I just looked at the judges scores for both performances and Joannie blew her away in the Program Components 68.50 vs. 60.50 (rounded). Joannie also had a higher base value for her technical marks but did worse than Mirai 62.80 vs. 65.80. Mirai needs to work on her Program Component scores.
PCS were totally messed up. You can't depend on that. Even Kim got higher PCS than the MALE gold/silver medalists. How could female skaters get higher PCS while they have shorter performing time? PCS is more like "career mark" since older senior skaters seem to get higher PCS than the younger senior skaters . Plus, Rochette had "home-country advantage," & Kim used that too (practiced in CAN before Oly & she quickly fired her CAN coach/moved away from CAN after Vanc).
@yi81 You must be quite stupid to believe that there was a "home advantage" at the Olympics. Do you think Laura Lepisto, from Finland, had a home advantage as well and that resulted in +2 more PCS than Mirai? Please stop embarrassing yourself and Mirai by insinuating that there was controversy over her scoring that the international judges (only 1 is from Canada) purposely put her in 4th place.
@yi81 I have also checked her some other results from Mirai's FS and she seems to be right around the 60 PCS range. What she needs to do to increase her PCS is unknown to me since I'm not an expert in that area but unless there's some international conspiracy to not allow Mirai to get a higher PCS score... I'm not buying your argument.
Nagasu is a player wanting it in Japan. However, please work hard in the United States, and dedicate the medal to the United States. The Japanese also presents the rooting.
Hay I am Donald and i am 13 and i am going to be entering a contest in bridge port but it is not on TV or anything but i still will have a lot of fun and this video really made me really eager to enter so i liked this video!
I love how people say she should have won the bronze but she fell the first night of competition, she would have needed a whoping score to overtake rochette
yes she was underscored, but didnt deserve the score needed to take third place
@PubliusAfricanus her mom shouldn't have died in the first place; don't get me wrong, i am not trying to defend rochett because she's such a big ass skater. what i mean is: she was in a unfair position to begin with
That's the problem with sports that rely on abstract scoring - they quickly become nothing more than popularity contests. Everyone felt bad for Joannie, so they gave her bronze. Athletes like Mirai must wonder why they even bother. If you don't have enough drama, or aren't The Chosen One like the vastly overrated Yu-Na, you won't medal.
@jisaw80 You cant even skate and your talking about Mao? wow..... stupid person.... Mirai has A LOT of potential, but technically, Mao is a better skater... but its Mirai's turn to shine in Sochi 2014!!! GO MIRAI-CHAN!
What the....? She is American skater!!!! Not Japanese... anyway, I saw little bit of "Yuna Kim" in her performance... I think she could be next Yuna Kim and I hope she does...
I do think that she should have won bronze. I'm not saying she was cheating, but we never know what the judges are looking for. I'm glad the Canadian won bronze. I would have been even happier with her or Rachael Flatt placing in the top three. They are both beautiful skaters, I think that Mirai Nagasu is looser, but Rachael is just very tight with her skating,. It's kinda unexplainable....
Mirai is sooo cute!! she's gonna be the next yuna kim? but i think yuna is suspected as violation of (By-low to rule 41-3 and By-low to rule 51) for wearing the crown earrings bt J.ESTINA(unofficial) to advertise the company's product during Olympic games...
@rebyretet yuna already had the permission to wear the earrings at the olympics if
its anyone who should b suspected, its asada for using the tissue which she is advertising it as a model in that tissue company. As soon as japs brought yuna's earring up koreans started posting things that yuna already had the permission but asada used her tissue which she was "ADVERTISING" it as a model which she means ASADA MAO is the one who VIOLATED the rule.

I think she is very wonderful skater. Her jumping and skating skill are outstanding. Especially her spin was very impressive. Maybe she will be the first priority to be a gold medalist in the following Olympic.
Lillysleftnut makes apallingly rude comments. It's a shame. She must be a beauty queen herself. Let's say she is, but judging other people like that shows her charactor. Contructive critics are acceptable. Shallow comments don't belong in a public venue.
yuna is the most vicious cheater i have ever seen....please stop suborn the judges....yuna should have been at third on vancouver..
true victiom of olympic's fixed juging system....queen mao..
mao is the greatest figure skater ever in the history of figure..
just because yuna won the gold medal by the help of judges who got the korean money, it doesn't mean she did well. true winner is mao and mirai.....fu*k y*u korean,canadian ,,rochett dosen't deserve bronze
@USrulesJapan Hey I am not Jap, and Mirai isn't 11, and I am not 11. You have to be at least 16 to join the olympics. Let you know again, I am not 11, and I am not Jap.
@dsfddsgh She is American but also holds Japanese nationality ( dual citizen ). She could have gotten bronze in Olympic. She skated so clean and better than Joannie Rochette.
@kimyunafigure THINK before u say somethin', if u really are yuna's fan! u just seemed like her anti fan who want to harm her with those of ur thoughtless words.
Look, I'm not fanatic about her. I love skating, but I have to admit. Not everything she does is perfect. No one is perfect. I am saying this because I know she needs to improve on her spirals. I actually have common sense because if I was a fan of Mirai, I wouldn't be like, "oh, shes perfect, she doesn't need to improve on anything." I have common sense. I know Kim isn't perfect. I say whats true. Ok?
Then I can't help myself say dirty and bad stuff about the japanese people that said Kim Yuna bought her medal. IM SORRY OK? I DON'T ACTUALLY MEAN SOME OF THE STUFF I MEAN. I think Mirai Nagasu is a great figure skater too. It's that, all these japanese people are talking bad stuff about Kim Yuna, and it makes me mad, because I know they are just jealous.
korean people are crazy. no one here talks about kim except you. and now you are blaming your crazy act on japanese? as if korean are not talking bad stuff about japanese skaters? lol
smh I swear there are some ignorant people in this world based on the comments...but anyways Mirai is a fabulous skater and she should be proud of herself to get 4th place at 16!!!

mirai. i hate you because you betrayed japan and played for the USA instead. you could've been the best if you represented our country japan and get a medal. you betrayed your own kind of us japanese people and competed for the gringos instead
you know what. she cannot just drop everything and move to japan just to play at the olympics for them. she didn't choose which place she came from, they just put her there because she lives in america.
@msbyoung wat a hater --__--;; does that mean that all us skaters should skate for the country that their family originally comes from? thats like saying michelle kwan should skate for hong kong
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
exactly. i just think it is natural for all ppl to compete for their home countries, and i even consider michelle kwan a traitor. and another one. Simon Cho who competed for the US in short track speed skating in the winter olympics is also a traitor for leaving korea behind
the olympics is about nationality, not heritage. if a chinese woman or a korean man lives in america because their parents sought the best opportunities for them, then they are an american citizen. i'm sure those athletes love america and appreciate what opportunies were given as a result of living in america, and are proud to represent america. same with any other immigration case.
@msbyoung are you also saying that Apolo Ohno should skate for Japan because he is of Japanese descent? Or J.R. Celski should skate for the Philippines because he is of Filipino descent? There are many more, so how would the United States medal without these wonderful people who's parents immigrated to give their children a better life. I believe it is commendable of them, and their children should not be discriminated because of their ethnicity.
i don't think msbyoung is japanese. people should know there're lots of anti-japanese people here pritending japanese and are trying to make people mad at japan. i've never seen any japanese like msbyoung in any japanese f skating forums i've visit. everyone accepts that she's representing the U.S. and still rooting for her.

And what was the news that had the journalists buzzing? Russell said it was Lysacek winning the free skate and Mao Asada (pictured above) not being downgraded for what looked like two-footed or cheated landings on her jumps.
She's a daughter of one of my home town's local Japanese restaurant owners in Arcadia, CA. I've seen her since she was very little, and the restaurant is filled with her drawings over the walls. Her parents, especially her Mom, is a very nice lady. I'm proud to see her go so far, and hopefull for her to get a gold medal in 2014!
THE END OF THE WORLD IS ALMOST HERE!HOLY GOD WILL BRING JUDGMENT DAY ON MAY 21,2011.Seek Jesus Christ and his mercy,humble yourself.Look at all the warning sighs.Godbless You&family.
Stop victimizing yourselves natto faced Japtards. Be grateful that mao won the silver despite her two major fuckups. If anything, Rochette deserved to win the silver.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
next time, she should go to olympic as a japanese. she represented japanese spirit in her skating more than asada who is a daughter of a host club owner. i am also glad that her parents were conservative enough not to choose those fancy american names such as michelle, christi, caroline, etc for her. mirai is a markedly japanese name.
ugh i was really hoping that she gets medal... her short program was ok but long program was fantastic. If only she did better on sp then im sure bronze would've been hers. srsly i think canada got bit more points than she should've on lp. well thats just my opinion anyways.
it's funny- frank caroll is coach of two american skaters: lysacek and nagasu. Lysacek won the gold in spite of he didn't deserve it, on the other hand nagasu should have won the bronze and she didn't do it. All she needed was famous name and canadian nationality. Good luck mirai!!
what? evan didn't deserve the gold?! he did! he worked his ass off. u better not say that plushenko deserved the gold...because he obviously didn't.
i agree though that mirai should've gotten bronze. but i wanted joannie to get bronze too because of what happened with her mother's sudden death and skating the way she did that's amazing. hell top 4 skaters were great! yuna and mao with all the pressure from their country. joannie w/ death of her mother. mirai inexperience.
Its a tragic reflection on the state of modern society that a simple interview with an Olympian becomes grounds for racial slanging matches and attempts to assert who is more American than who. What is wrong with you people?! Why this hate? This obsession with one an-others differences? Of course we are different. That's what makes the world interesting. In time you will realize you have far more things in common than you do differences. Grow up, grow out and learn to live.
With veteran coach Frank Carroll to keep her focused, Mirai Nagasu has a very bright future. She already showed that she can skate under pressure in the 2010 Olympics. She seems to have the type of magnetism that Tara, Michelle, and Sarah had in their prime years. As she refines her skating skills, she should be a major (and probably very popular) U.S. figure skater as we head to the 2014 Olympics.
Sure, i know that. But she speaks English. Japanese is not her mother tongue. Therefore why would the interview speak to her in something other other than her primary language?...
I think Mirai learned Japanese before english......
but whatever, she is an american citizen and speaks fluently in both and probably *is* more comfortable with the english language.
Yeah, perhaps it wasn't a good choice on the interviewer's part, but I don't think it was ill willed or anything :P. Maybe she thought it would be fun.
speaking of which who is that interviewer anyway? Is she a translator or something cuz' the Japanese came relatively naturally from her mouth.
Part of the interview that got edited out involved me asking Mirai about her heritage and Japanese language skills. That's where the seemingly random Japanese-speaking bit comes from.
@afranshiachar i was thrilled to se her last night, specially when she was the last one to skate after "all these monsters" did. I t seemed like she wanted to cry, but her coach encouraged her to go and then she "smiled". The rest was amazing. I think because of politics she missed the bronze or silver. If you notice, the judges took a while to deliberate for the results. So to me she was the real "queen" without the crown
The people on here who are putting down Asians are just jealous because they're all so intelligent. I'm not Asian, but this is a fact. Plus you idiots can't even spell. Pitiful.
I uploaded 2010 mens short program figure skating video of SungChol Ri, but the video doesnt come out in search result.
SungChol Ri, North Korean figure skater was disqualified to go the free skate competition because he ranked 25th among all these players who lost balance while performing.
This is the most amazing unfair judging in Olympic history I have EVER SEEN!
Arcadia is a shithole where prostitution and crime exists in every corner of this city. Asian underground prostitution is found in apartment homes where asian women are forced into prostitution are brought from countries like china,korea and japan by force to work as sex slaves in towns like Arcadia where there is a large asian population.
how do you know ? do you live in arcadia ? your just jealous of our high educaion. and arcadia isnt all asian. we have a junior thats in the olympics, Dana middle school just broke a world record, AND our high school band plays at the orange bowl. arcadia has also been voted AGAIN the number one place to raise kids according to either newsweek or businessweek mag. so what dont you shut the fuck up.

@nessaacosta Hispanics, Anglo Saxons and Blacks thats who you dumb ass! Asians are losers in sports and should only stik to books and computers. Any type of sports asians they are no good at it.
whoa wtf?! azns arent loser in sports! this olympics is proof. in the last warmup for the ladies free skate 4/6 ladies were azn. and many more examples
wow you're a real dumbass!! I'm not Asian and not even i agree with your fucking stupid statement!!! Asians are good at figure skating and gymnastics... how could you not know that!?!?!
really? you say that when daisuke takahashi is the record holder for the amount of points scored in FS and overall? and when kim yu-na is record holder for all three programs? and the records for pairs are all held by chinese? really? no seriously...
she's a japanese traitor.. anyone who flies the flag for another country is a traitor to their homeland.. the cheating americans must of bought her parents a sushi bar to shut them up
personally Asians are NOT cute!

@msbyoung are you also saying that Apolo Ohno should skate for Japan because he is of Japanese descent? Or J.R. Celski should skate for the Philippines because he is of Filipino descent? There are many more, so how would the United States medal without these wonderful people who's parents immigrated to give their children a better life. I believe it is commendable of them, and their children should not be discriminated because of their ethnicity.

i don't think msbyoung is japanese. people should know there're lots of anti-japanese people here pritending japanese and are trying to make people mad at japan. i've never seen any japanese like msbyoung in any japanese f skating forums i've visit. everyone accepts that she's representing the U.S. and still rooting for her.

And what was the news that had the journalists buzzing? Russell said it was Lysacek winning the free skate and Mao Asada (pictured above) not being downgraded for what looked like two-footed or cheated landings on her jumps.

She's a daughter of one of my home town's local Japanese restaurant owners in Arcadia, CA. I've seen her since she was very little, and the restaurant is filled with her drawings over the walls. Her parents, especially her Mom, is a very nice lady. I'm proud to see her go so far, and hopefull for her to get a gold medal in 2014!

next time, she should go to olympic as a japanese. she represented japanese spirit in her skating more than asada who is a daughter of a host club owner. i am also glad that her parents were conservative enough not to choose those fancy american names such as michelle, christi, caroline, etc for her. mirai is a markedly japanese name.

it's funny- frank caroll is coach of two american skaters: lysacek and nagasu. Lysacek won the gold in spite of he didn't deserve it, on the other hand nagasu should have won the bronze and she didn't do it. All she needed was famous name and canadian nationality. Good luck mirai!!

i agree though that mirai should've gotten bronze. but i wanted joannie to get bronze too because of what happened with her mother's sudden death and skating the way she did that's amazing. hell top 4 skaters were great! yuna and mao with all the pressure from their country. joannie w/ death of her mother. mirai inexperience.

Its a tragic reflection on the state of modern society that a simple interview with an Olympian becomes grounds for racial slanging matches and attempts to assert who is more American than who. What is wrong with you people?! Why this hate? This obsession with one an-others differences? Of course we are different. That's what makes the world interesting. In time you will realize you have far more things in common than you do differences. Grow up, grow out and learn to live.

With veteran coach Frank Carroll to keep her focused, Mirai Nagasu has a very bright future. She already showed that she can skate under pressure in the 2010 Olympics. She seems to have the type of magnetism that Tara, Michelle, and Sarah had in their prime years. As she refines her skating skills, she should be a major (and probably very popular) U.S. figure skater as we head to the 2014 Olympics.

*shrug* Mirai understands, it's not like she was saying words that Mirai was unfamiliar with.

Sure, i know that. But she speaks English. Japanese is not her mother tongue. Therefore why would the interview speak to her in something other other than her primary language?...
chufdj 1 year ago
I think Mirai learned Japanese before english......
but whatever, she is an american citizen and speaks fluently in both and probably *is* more comfortable with the english language.
Yeah, perhaps it wasn't a good choice on the interviewer's part, but I don't think it was ill willed or anything :P. Maybe she thought it would be fun.
speaking of which who is that interviewer anyway? Is she a translator or something cuz' the Japanese came relatively naturally from her mouth.

@afranshiachar i was thrilled to se her last night, specially when she was the last one to skate after "all these monsters" did. I t seemed like she wanted to cry, but her coach encouraged her to go and then she "smiled". The rest was amazing. I think because of politics she missed the bronze or silver. If you notice, the judges took a while to deliberate for the results. So to me she was the real "queen" without the crown

SungChol Ri, North Korean figure skater was disqualified to go the free skate competition because he ranked 25th among all these players who lost balance while performing.
This is the most amazing unfair judging in Olympic history I have EVER SEEN!

Arcadia is a shithole where prostitution and crime exists in every corner of this city. Asian underground prostitution is found in apartment homes where asian women are forced into prostitution are brought from countries like china,korea and japan by force to work as sex slaves in towns like Arcadia where there is a large asian population.
