Yay, we have YouTube coverage! So happy to join in! I need to do a million things, but I am watching! Thank you ISU for making things more convenient for me!

Good fight on the combo! Unfortunately we missed a bit of her step sequence because the cameraperson had a stroke, but she seemed very committed to the intensity of the program.

Riiiiiiiiiise like a phoenix.
I still really like that song.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Its an improvement from her last outing but likely not what she wanted

 

[Paulipau]

The camera was right at her ass xd omg

Rion SUMIYOSHI
Blood In The Water by KSHMR

2Aq (fall, looked like she just got too far back on the heel)
3F+3T
CCoSp4
3Lz
LSp2
StSq3
FCSp4

SP: 61.72 (1st)

Rion has deceptively good flow and ice coverage. I don't love this program for her, I always dislike "Ethnic Arms", but the costuming is gorgeous. That was a really random fall on the 2A, but she didn't let it rattle her. Her 4T has been looking really good in practice so here's hoping for a clean skate from her tomorrow!

 

[Ichatdelune]

I'm late, did I miss much?

 

[Mariiiiskate]

I love Rions head piece

Shame about the 2A fall Good on her for not letting that rattle her and doing everything else cleanly
Hopefully she gets the 4T done in the free tomorrow

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Pity about the 2A, wonderful skate otherwise

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Dang 2A...
Anyway, great recovery, Rion!
Go get it in the FS!

 

[Dawn825]

Beautiful costume for Rion

Two skaters Maia and Rion.

Has there ever been a 20year old+ female landing a quad in competition?

Rion has deceptively good flow and ice coverage. I don't love this program for her, I always dislike "Ethnic Arms", but the costuming is gorgeous.

I really like the step sequence of Rion's program, but I do wish they would tone down those "Ethnic Arms" a bit

oh lord it is too early for this wailing music.

the 3Lz+2T was beautiful, though
