Happy birthday to Wakaba!! She is turning 18, I can't believe how time flies!
yes it's true it will be four years now, almost five that I follow his career, it has changed a lot since his performance at the World 2014 at the gala, I remember thinking that it was incredible to have continued his performance despite the stop of the music at age 13 she was already a real pro. When I look at her old performance I always have a big smile, and now that she wants to discover and learn new things I am only admiring, that's why sometimes I'm hard with her, I really liked to see it evolve and despite the bad luck of this year and some of its old competitions, she knew how to give the best of herself without ever giving up. I remember his Shérazade of the 2016/2017 season and his Wakabond last year.
I do not know if it is clear what I say because I have difficulty expressing myself
I really appreciated reading your longer perspective and memories; I have only known to follow her skating since 2016. Wasn't Scheherazade beautiful! and last year her Wakabond ( Skyfall?) was both beautiful and powerful - they are still my favorites. I wish her health and happiness in her skating for years to come. And your English is great - infinitely better than my French - I wouldn't dare!
I love this Scheherazde (WTT) & her joy afterwards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRZRSejBRH8
Yes there are few skaters like that, aren't there. Still, sometimes magic - absolute magic - happens, sometimes like lightning striking. Rarely the entire program, more often (in my humble experience) suddenly part-way through. The arena knows! The audience is on its feet at the end without even thinking about it! Much harder to see on video, but even then it can shine through.
Wakaba have an assignement for challenge cup. Nice to see that her season is not over.

I was worried her season might have ended at nats
On the website there seems to be a placeholder for a livestream:
