omg @ the flow out of the double axxel

always such uniquely smooth control out of jumps. The angle of her free foot always seemed 'odd' to me, but very very smooth.

What's with the fuzzy stuff on the arms? I am normally very tolerant concerning costumes, but these extra-arm stuff this season (Smirnov had in the SP at Worlds and Yukari had it all season during Giselle) bugs me somehow, I find it very distracting.

But she is simply amazing, so exquisite.

Gosh, that was just exquisite. Even her jumps look angelic. How proud of their Olympic champion Japan must be.

Lovely. she still has one of the best 3 lutzes of all the ladies out there. I love her pro skating...she was born to do it.

All the talks about Mk and Sasha's return, and Shizuka is landing lutz out of spiral entry.

I seriously adore this lady

It’s 2009, I’m watching her and I’m breathless again… She’s my absolute darling! Those fantastic body lines…

Shizuka come back!

**Dipyramidal** · 04-09-2009, 04:06 PM

sasha and kwan can't even do a porper lutz.

...and Shizuka has a lip.

She looks phenomenal! Difficult entries into jumps, nice spirals, biellmann and camel spins. Is it just me or has she gotten even better since 2006???
