2018-19 Japanese Ladies' figure skating

[tosca]

I really hope Mai gets to keep her free...

I absolutely loved her free. So glad I am not the only one haha!

 

[skatenewbie]

I don't talk about total score but PCS. Her highest PCS in GP season was 64. Even in France where she was in last group and skated a free with no visual error she got that score.

yes idk why, they finally giving her PCS she deserved in 4CC where she got 68 PCS. in SP where she messed up she got ok PCS around 32.5 even at some point she get higher PCS than Sotskova SP in IdF. but when it comes to FP where she slay she always got 64... only 65 once in ACI. i hope she can be force next season and get that PCS! i do love her free though, and if she can skate it consistently like she did and with clean SP staying in top 3/in last group then her PCS will not be 64 anymore for sure. look at what happened to Kaori, sudden rise just because she was 2nd in SA and skating cleanly.

I hope a world silver medal will rise Wakaba's scores

 

[sakurano]

As much as I love my Tiny Queen Satoko, I have a feeling that Kaori or Wakaba is gonna bring on a challenge to be Japan's number 1 next season!

Personally I do not see Satoko dethrone after all it is the most artistic despite its small jumps, the only one that can be dethroned is Kaori or Mai, we'll see the next season. After all, there may be surprises

As long as Satoko's jumps are judged like other girls' jumps and she's consistent, she will be hard to beat.

Any upcoming rule changes should also help skaters like Satoko.

All she has to to do is not to fall. I really hope GOEs reflect qualities of jumps, not to mention BV (UR).

Personally I do not see Satoko dethrone after all it is the most arthritic despite its small jumps, the only one that can be dethroned is Kaori or Mai, we'll see the next season. After all, there may be surprises

I'm not a fan of Satoko's skating, but this is totally another level of diss.

Well actually, she could get something like +1\+2 GOE when skaters with bigger, better jumps coulg potentially get +3\+4, so idk. It'll help her for her other elements for sure though.

 

[dansams]

Don't they also wanna de-emphasize jumping and up the PCS? I wouldn't bet against Satoko if that happens.

Some judges give her +2 for her jumps. So i bet she will get the same +3/+4. And +5 for spins.

Yeah, totally possible, for sure. I think if judging were correct, she would get +1, max 2, for her jumps and +5 for spins, while someone like Osmond would get between +3 and +5 for jumps, for example.

 

[yume]

Other girls will have to be more consistents to expect to beat her at nationals. I say more because they're already consistents but don't have the PCS to save them when they make their rare mistakes.

And she has tech panels on her side, which are more than happy to ignore her UR, just like they did last year's Nats.

look at those steps before 3A!!

she just needs a bit more consistency (and obviously other areas to work on ) and she is good to go

 

[dansams]

Really enjoying watching this arms race.

I want to see a quad too:cool14: She can be the absolute beast.

GO Rika you can do it, I hope next year will be more conclusive

Mai is adorable, I hope someone can translate what the girls say, I repeat but the Japanese women's team is so adorable between them <3

I still hope you meant "artistic", not "arthritic".

I was rewatching the Worlds final flight earlier, and was reminded again how great Satoko's layback spin is. Best in the field, in my opinion.
