The ladies always seem to deliver, don’t they? This year's short program was no different with all of the top four women landing triple-triple combinations. Yu-Na Kim took the lead and, under the new system, scored the highest international marks for a ladies short program with a whopping 71.95. Miki Ando delivered the most technically challenging program of the evening (featuring a triple lutz-triple loop!) while Carolina Kostner continued her comeback from an injury to deliver a very strong performance as well.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the evening was seeing Kimmie Meissner in 4th place after skating clean. I still think Kimmie’s actually in very good shape. She has three women ahead of her who have battled injuries this year and/or have reputations as less than consistent skaters. Kimmie herself is quite capable of pulling out a strong and clean free skate.
My pick to win, Mao Asada, singled the back end of her triple flip-triple loop combination. Mao’s in much more trouble than Kimmie. Her gorgeous short program was really her bread and butter all year and her less than fantastic long program will make it difficult to fill in the 10 point gap between her and Kim.
The long program will be performed in Tokyo on Saturday, March 24th starting at 5:30PM local time (that’s 1:30AM PST)
