I don't see under rotations of her first combination. The triple lutz-double toe was very big. In her U.S. Nationals, her opening combo was the same, and she scored 70 points on that. The judges seem to always score yuna and other skaters higher, like when yuna did the Die Fiedermaus in her 2007 gpf, DOING A triple fip-SINGLE toe instead of triple, and yet, she still received higher than Mirai, at over 58 points.

FACT: mirai deserves WAY more credit than what the judges give her

24 PC? da hell...

It's because she under-rotates - i don't like the scoring either, but that's what we got
-
Mirai's jumps and spins were so solid! There's no reason her technical elements OR presentation score should have been that low!
-
@HelTra91 I agree. She needs to say to herself that she's going to take what's her and that is the World Championship and every other event that she is in this year. No more "i'm the future" talk from her. The future is now.

@dsfddsgh After Mao burst onto the scene and dominated at 15 and yu-na at 16 I don't think she's thinking that she's too young, it seems more like she feels it's just not her time because there are a lot of great skaters still skating. I just hope she isn't settling into the idea that her time will only come once they retire because she has what it takes to give them a run for their money.

24 for pcs? It's so wrong it's almost funny

@alicemacf I think maybe you need to wake up from your prejudice and obvious bias. LMAO!!!

She was not robbed, she has a loooooooooong way to go in terms of improvements. All of her jumps still look cheated. And she needs to grow a personality.
Mirai wuz ROBBED! She should have been in 2nd if not 1st. The judges are just making it clear that she has to wait her turn. I think she's the best hope the US has in the coming years; she's pretty consistent, she has speed comparable to Yu-Na and Carolina Kostner, and the rest of her elements are all top level. She just needs to work on her maturity and technique but she's with Frank Carroll, so all of those things are being fixed as we speak. In another year or so she'll be the one to beat.

Did anybody really think the new scoring system would stop the cheating and corruption?
It is pretty clear to see that international figure skating judges are MORE corrupt than ever.
