New Leaf (Wakaba) is such a thrill to watch... Just a splash of youthful exuberance onto the ice. :luv17: Great facial expressions too.

Flip still looks iffy... is it inside edge or outside? (I'm nitpicking)

 

[Mikansei]

So happy Wakaba got 2nd place after a disappointing JGP season. She is surely the one to watch out for in the future. Seriously hope she will get better program next season, something lyrical perhaps. She has so much to offer, but her programs this year doesn't do her justice. She needs to work more on her spins and the PCS to catch up to the others.

seriously Mao's jumps look soo effortless and easy compared to the other skaters, the difference is soo evident it's mindbobling, I wonder how she does make it look so aesthetically pleasing :shocked:

She makes them look easy by finishing the last 1/4 rotation on the ice.

 

[Icey]

Satoko is mesmerizing, magical.

Seriously guys take a look at this effortles 3A during the warmup it's a true blinder

Aw, poor Rika. Despite the fall, she really tried to keep her energy up :sad21:

 

[gravy]

Even with those mistakes, Mao was just mesmerizing.

Gorgeous, beautiful, magical.

In the chat room in the stream, somebody said Mao got +0.4 GOE for the Lutz.

Mao might not go to the Olympics at this rate....

The juniors will surpass her by 2018 if she doesn't up her game.

Practice is just practice.

She needs to get them out more often in COMPETITION

 

[Icey]

Has Mao ever tried doing her 3A as other than the opening jump? I hardly recognized Yuka Sato.

 

[Franklin99]

They are announcing the world team live:

[invisiblespiral]

Okay, I'm here. Yay Satton and Wakabby and Yuna, mixed on Rika and Mao, and sad for Kana and Yuna and Marin...

 

[Icey]

Glad Rika made it.

 

[Icey]

never seen bouquets like that before. Interesting.

 

[Lota]

Well that was rude. They let everyone speak and cut off as soon as Rika started speaking

 

[Lindacrow]

Who is going to 4CC?

 

[HR4]

Could someone write the result of the selection to 4cc and worlds?

Yep, this is the most recent example.

And obviously all those times when she did two 3As in the long program... the 3A was the opening and the second jump

Worlds-Satoka, Mao, Rika, Shoma and Yuzu. Did not catch the name of the Ice Dance team or was it Pair couple?
