C'mon MONE!!!...another

 

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

Yep, I work for Japanese companies and have a deadline tomorrow. Finished the job today

I'm not Christian either (Jewish), so I don't mind!
I live in Tokyo, have physical therapy tomorrow, a session with my personal trainer afterwards and then it's off to the rink for practice.

While Mai skated, Mia Hamada watched very attentively.

things just got very interesting... welcome to the podium, Mone. She has struggled with URs in the past, and a few cropped up in the second half, but this was the skate of her life. She is so well-rounded and delightful to watch.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

MO-NE!!!

 

[EdgeCall]

Podium for Mone. That was just lovely.

 

[YuBluByMe]

YES! Chiba is back. That was some beautiful, buttery skating right there. That was the skate of the night for me.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Ugh Hamada cam

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

these program components for Mai? Vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, where is my boxing bag?

she was criminally underscored in PCS but she had a lot of rotation stuff overlooked, so I think it kind of balances out. I just wish they had applied the points fairly in the category they're supposed to go in but ANYWAYS

 

[Dawn825]

What a special moment

 

[LazyFuzai]

The coach so happy cuz of first clean skate of her skater today

 

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

I was watching the Russian Gala, just turned the TV and been watching since Mai Mihara skated, so can't comment on the others.
Mai and Mone really great skates

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Go Mako!
