Suguri vs. Onda vs. Arakawa
As the title says, how do these top Japanese ladies match up? Specifically, what do you think their strengths and weaknesses are?
Briefly, in my view:
Suguri ~ more artistic and expressive, programs are better choreographed, jumps haven't been as consistent as they were in the past
Onda ~ power-jumping all the way, great height on jumps, but artistry and posture still needs more work and refinement
Arakawa ~ light, ethereal quality about her skating (esp. her jumps, like what Susie Wynne talked about at NHK), but can be a bit inconsistent
