Feelings of frustration are strong. The fact that she was extremely nervous was a good learning experience. Will not make mistakes in next comp (laughs).
Re big growth since last season: she got better at making changes; ability to have strong desire.
Scoring? Since she scored over 200 with mistakes, thinks it bodes well for high score when mistake-free. Looking forward to next comp.
Her affinity for JNats: The 1st time she was so nervous her knees buckled in K&C which surprised her.
Making Olympic team: So far at JNats she has not been satisfied with her performance or scores. This year she wants to make that happen and get a good start for the following comp.
Fed officials say that her ability to maintain a positive attitude is a sign that she is maturing as an athlete.
This whole season? Besides GPF she's performed wonderfully at all her assignments, and have gotten personal best scores as well as some of the highest scores of the Japanese ladies. I get that she needs to perform well at nationals too, though.
yulia lipnitskaya said today that she gets the feeling that wakaba doesn't get enough appreciation and value from JSF. she feels that wakaba should be getting much more for what she puts out on the ice. it reminded her of akiko suzuki and and she just can't comprehend why JSF would do this to wakaba.

to be frank, i agree with yulia 100%
Ah, Massimo Scali... I'd like to thank him for giving his BEST PROGRAM EVER to Wakaba! (Gypsy Dance)and otherwise wakaba always has beautiful dress in XD banquets
