Wakaba will be going to Canada and Russia for the GP; tough assignment, but I will be cheering for her to make it to the Final!

Why do they always give her such difficult assignments going up against Alina and Evgenia like last year... Other assignments would have been better because she has the potential to beat just about everyone... sigh
 
I worry a bit about his Grand Prix picks why did she choose Skate Canada when he was proving that Japanese women are often under-scored? for her choice of COR I expected it because she likes Russia a lot and a revenge to take because of her 3S miss during her competition of the last year which is worth to him the 3 place, it will be difficult to make the final but I think she can do it.

I want to see that warmly September.

Waka didn't chose any assignments, it's how the ISU/federations assigned her. I know a lot of people love to make a big deal out of WC podium finishers "getting their wishes", but while they're allowed to voice preferences, it doesn't mean ISU will follow them. For all we know, Waka might have wanted different GPs.

but I thought that after the withdrawal of Kaetlyn she had the choice between 4 events, but that it also depended on other Fed.

I do not understand the choice of Grand Prix so I trust others.
I do not want to be mean to the JFS because they did their best to please everyone, but when the GPs were announced I admit I was a little "?"


------------------

in practice it is 3F, 3lz-2T, 1lz , 2A, 1A

I think it's normal for her jumps to be unstable as she reworks them so I do not worry it's only the beginning of the season,

now I can not wait to read what music she has chosen
 
This is Wakaba's new SP at the competition 'Aqua Cup':

2A 1Lz 3F-2T
Music:「Energia」by Sofi Tukker

Wakaba is in white shining costume, it's reported that the SP is full of lots of dancing movement.

Update: programme components - 2A、FCSp、CCoSp、1Lz*、3F2T、StSq、LSp

(It seems that the scores are not announced right after each skating but published after the competition is finished. And it's not for sure if the new scoring system is incorporated or not!)

She probably just tagged the 2T unto the flip because she missed the lutz, I'd think ^^

Maybe she wanted to change the layout because of the new rules because the 3F yields more point? but it's very risky because of its 3F e but you may be right to change it as she did in 2016 for its FS.

I do not like his costume . that I think is a little meh but I think it's because it's new, maybe I'll get used to it, at least it's original XD



all the better but a latin costume for these lyrics is worth it? I may be expecting worse, in general she has beautiful costume.

59 is reasonable enough for a first competition, it does not surprise me because there are three days she was in France so the jet lag may not help her fitness, bravo Wakaba

Some side note: I tried to look it up and apparently this competition is still using the old GOE scale from 17-18 season. So this score is not directly reflected from how the scoring system will be working by the new rules just announced!

ah saw that she also missed levels with the new system she score she would have had?
 
Since she was interviewed by Fuji TV maybe we will have a preview like last year? or so for next week's DOI, it's a long time if we have to wait until August.
 
I want to know what is her free skate music . I hope it's not a princess program like Cinderella that Yuka Sato did for Mai. Unless if it
is princess mononoke.
