Wakaba Higuchi was robbed

Results

My only coverage of Worlds or Olympics in the year 2018 is going to consist of this blog titled, Wakaba Higuchi was robbed. I much prefer this Skate to the winner but per usual no one will say a word because North America sticks together. I know she fell in the SP but she still should have won the LP and since she didn’t I am calling the fix is in.

The US lost their 3rd spot thanks to Mirai Nagasu and Mariah Bell even though neither was particularly hideous they were just out skated. No triple Axel by Mirai. I will never understand how judges can give negative GOE and positive on the same jump. How does one judge see it as good and the rest see it as bad? Mirai’s triple flip, triple toe was under- rotated on the toe yet judge 6 gave her a plus 1. Whatever judges.

Alina Zagitova showed up to Worlds after winning the Olympics which is more than any other Gold medalist has done in the last 10 Olympics that I can remember (ladies wise) but what a disaster for her. I still say Medvedeva should have won the Olympics but as far as Gold medalists go, Zag is at least watchable.

I thought Satoko Miyahara should have won bronze at the Olympics so I am glad she placed third here. It’s nice seeing two Japanese girls on the podium for once because they usually get screwed.

Bradie stood up her LP. Props to her and I did laugh at her getting better PCS then Mirai after all those whiner Nagasu fans insisted the Olympic and World judges would show her when it mattered. Yep. Didn’t happen that way.

And I still don’t think Carolina Kostner is any where as great as the world claims she is so I am always fine with her choking:)

I’m glad the Shib Sibs stayed home because I literally have no interest in Dance at all and I will NEVER understand what the hell it is is so great about Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue who I find slow and boring.

As for the men if they want to turn this sport into a jumping showcase they can keep it. PLEASE Shoma Ono. Show up tomorrow and show the ISU what real skating should be.
