Hanyu stepped out the 3A but landed everything else cleanly. I feel sorry for Machida. The judges have taken Hanyu's side at last.

A very disappointing result for Nakamura and Nishino. I'm not sure Imai and Suzuki are the best shots for junior worlds. The biggest surprise was a novice skater Kemanai who got the highest TES. She landed five different triples (two triple lutzs) without downgrading.

Suizu #23 hwell:

anyone have the result of ice dancing?

can someone post videos ? thanks!!

Imai won a JGP with a big score but didn't get a chance at a second event, so I think she's not a bad choice for JW. My question is - will the results of the JGP Final affect the JW nominations?

Fuji TV has a broadcast schedule on December 7th for an hour.

What has been going on with Suizu...she was the reigning champion and IIRC she even placed 5th or higher at Jr Worlds in 2007. I really hope she will regain her jump consistency.

Also a disappointing result for Fujisawa.

Where is Satsuki Muramoto? Did she not qualify?

Satsuki Muramoto is competing in Seniors this year. She was second at Western Sectionals, behind Akiko Suzuki and ahead of Mai Asada.

Oh, thanks for the info oleada (the second time in a short period of time ) . I hope Fuji Network will not skip her program when they air the nationals.

Click to expand...

The JSF reportedly nominated directly after Junior Nationals the skaters for Junior Worlds:


For Yukiko Fujisawa is after the JGP Final probably the season over. Kanako Murakami is qualified for Senior Nationals and is probably a substitute for JW.

Fuji TV will broadcast in 30 minutes.
U can use this software to watch.

Will someone put it on youtube?

I saw some of it - the FS of Haruka Imai, Ayane Nakamura, Yuki Nishino, Daisuke Murakami, Yazuharu Hanyu and one other skater whose name I didn't catch (I think Tatsuki Machida, but I am not sure).

Imai - nice flow, musicality and jumps. A lot of her moves were timed right to the music, which was nice to watch. Good, solid skate, aside from a stepout on a 3Lz. I'd like to see a bit more expression from her, but I think she'll do a great job at Junior Worlds. She could also up the level of her spins to get a bigger score. Her reaction to finding out that she was still first and later when she won was adorable. Congrats to her.

Nakamura - very serious skater. Started very well, but then fell out of a spin and the energy just left her program. She singled and fell on a flip.

Nishino - the first of three Paganinis. Her expression is soooo improved from last season. That said, she's grown a lot and her jumps are not totally there, but much better from what I saw in the JGP. She fell on her flip (e) and the lutz. Wonderful spins. I think she can come back.

Daisuke Murakami - Second Paganini. stepped out of the opening triple axel and fell on the second. Solid after that but not particularly exciting.

Yuzuru Hanyu: LOVED HIM! The final, and best Paganini of the night. He stepped out of the opening triple axel and had a hand down on the loop but he was fantastic. His jumps are like butter: so soft, lovely landings and wonderful flow. He did a fantastic biellman spin and an ina bauer too!

Machida: missed a bit, but had an interesting program to "Swan Lake". Fell on one jump.

Hmm...other notes: There was a commercial for Japanese Senior nats featuring Oda, Ando, Nakano, Asada etc. Mari Suzuki was SOBBING after the final results came out and she was second (happiness, I'm assuming). Imai was pretty excited and happy-looking until the interview when she started to tear up. Overall, the skating was very enjoyable! I'd just wish the music choices were a bit more original
