Yes, but Yu-Na did not skate like it she did at the Olympics. She was lackluster, made technical errors and her spins were subpar. It really showed that it was the first time skating this program. Miki skated cleaner and had a high base value. No, it was not her best, but it was better than what Yu-na put out here.
I agree...the ladies have not been exciting lately. I thought the men and pairs were the best part of this competition. It seems like we're getting the contenders to skate to their potential in the other 3 disciplines. In the ladies, not so much.
The ladies have not been exciting lately because of boring skaters like Miki. If a beautiful skater like Alissa wins with her flawless execution, it would be more interesting. All I see from most of skaters, especially someone like Miki, is only jump, jump and jump without soul.
