The Women’s Free skate will take place tomorrow and Mirai is currently in ninth place after a shaky short program.

Mirai popped her opening planned triple axel to a double and received a downgrade on a triple toe loop in her triple flip-triple toe loop combination. 

(32.76 + 32.45= 65.21 SP score)

We wish Mirai best of luck in her free skate tomorrow. She will be skating fifth in the third group! (X)

The end of the 2018 season is upon us, and Mirai is looking to close it out on a strong note at the 2018 World Championships! She drew 5th in the second to last group for the short program, and will skate tomorrow (3/20) at 3:25pm local time in Milan (10:25am eastern/7:25am pacific). Let’s cheer on our queen in this last competition of the Olympic season!

The International Skating Union is the international sport federation administering Ice Skating sports throughout the world.

Eight years ago, 16-year-old Mirai Nagasu (USA) stormed on to the Olympic scene in Vancouver and came fourth. The lively young skater from California looked like she would be the next American skating queen. But already the ISU World Figure Skating Championships that year in Torino, Italy, were an indication of the rollercoaster of a career that Mirai was going to have: She won the short program ahead of Olympic medalists Mao Asada and Yuna Kim and then dropped to seventh in the Free Skating.

Now, at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games, Nagasu landed a triple Axel in the team event Free Skating to help USA winning the bronze medal. And even though this difficult jump eluded her in the individual event, where she placed 10th, the 24-year-old made history by becoming the first American – and only the third Lady overall – to perform a triple Axel on Olympic ice.
