YES!! The road to Tokyo and Miki's World Title goes thru Nagano. MIki, Mao, Kanako, Haruka, Fumie, Akiko....etc. etc. Team Japan. I wish I could go and see the greatest skaters in the world gathered under the same roof in friendly competition. Talk about awe struck. Miki centered on the podium will be a great Christmas present for the peeps on this forum. I hope they all do well and have lots of fun in Nagano. Fingers crossed for Miki.

I always watch figure skating through a projecter that enlarges the TV on the wall (100 inches) and my room is consequently very dark.
So unfortunately I can't do that ... someone in the arena please do it for us !!
Here are 4 pics of Miki at the informal practice today: http://mainichi.jp/enta/sports/graph/2010/japanfigure/1.html http://mainichi.jp/enta/sports/graph/2010/japanfigure/2.html http://mainichi.jp/enta/sports/graph/2010/japanfigure/3.html http://mainichi.jp/enta/sports/graph/2010/japanfigure/4.html

Mao makes a big comeback with 66.22 points !
So Miki will be in a ideal place getting into the free skate.
Never mind the placements for now, Miki !! Just bring out your most beautiful skating tomorrow !!!
Too bad Akiko didn't make the final flight but we'll see. Lots of drama prospected tomorrow !!

I haven't seen the competition, but I'm pretty happy about the scores. Like sorcerer said, Miki is in a good place for the long. I'm happy for Mao and I hope this gives her confidence!
Thank you for the pictures! I love Kanako and Miki's relationship!

Beautiful performance. I love the way she goes into the double axel jump. Very unexpected. Love her emotion thru out the program as well.

The best Christmas present EVER!!! Miki, Mao and Mini Mao in the top three for the SP. To much to take in. Thanks Rezev, Sorcerer for pics, vids, info etc. Miki looks like a Christmas ice angel. As for Mao, the mojo is back. The glory continues in Nagano & I look forward to everyones posts.
