2020-21 Japanese Nationals: Ladies' Short Program

[flanker]

lol I need to visit Czech Republic, then.

You'll be welcomed warmly, just don't complain you weren't warned

 

[Yuzuruu]

hello everybody nice to watch this amazing event together
Good luck to all the lovely ladies from groups 5&6, may the 3As be with you Rika & Waka

i agree, there're other things appropriate for kids out there other than the usual, stereotypical cheesy pink princess stuff and there's always classical music. it's like leaning on a stereotype without much trying. not all the girls like unicorn and princesses, some of them love witches and black cats, and some others swords and cars

As a former aspiring witch I absolutely agree with all of this, we need more witches and shieldmaidens and not princesses

[readernick]

Now, I am nervous. Rika and Wakaba..my favorites .....

 

[YuBluByMe]

Over and under bets on landed 3As?

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Wow Rika’s costume!

 

[readernick]

Three 3As in this group. And, from my favorites plus Mana ( who I also like, but her current program isn't as good as last year's)

Now, I am nervous. Rika and Wakaba..my favorites .....

I honestly don't know if I have the stomach to watch Rika live!

It will be so rewarding if she does well but I am really chicken.............

Arrghhh I kinda wish I was more ambivalent about her! This is stressful!!!!!

 

[Yuzuruu]

I saw Rika's costume on instagram and I have to say I hated it ehh maybe it'll grow on me with time..
Also I'm scared about the cartwheel after what happened to Medo at Russian Tests

 

[Greengemmonster]

Shizz did my baby just fall on a 3A?

I don't think I'm cut out to do this!

 

[Skatesocs]

I am just now trying to catch up... Why do people believe they can interpret Gabriel's Oboe in skating? Big props to Yoshida for daring to try that layout though, 3A after the step sequence. At least there was intent behind the choreo. Her PCS is absolute and utter horseshit.

We have a YT stream, BTW:

Rika has been doing one handed cartwheels her whole life. She should be fine. Not sure how I feel about the costume... The colors are good and represent the theme. It doesn't look great up close but maybe it will look good in a large skating arena.

Morning! (It's almost 4 am here and I've just been catching up on skates haha.)

Soo much skating!!

 

[Skatesocs]

Meh at this Song for the Little Sparrow.

 

[readernick]

Go Wakaba!

 

[elektra blue]

go Wakababy!!!

 

[Ichatdelune]

I can't say I've liked Kihira Rika's new costume when I saw the photos, I mean it does embody fire but it's not really aesthetically pleasing to my eyes. But to each their own.

I'm going scatterbrained, I can't remember much about Matsubara Akari's skate
