[flanker]

Ouch, the combo

 

[flanker]

And now the stream has frozen for me...
Edit: Stream is back.

Combo

 

[Yuzuruu]

ahh the backloaded combo backfired at Kaori

 

[Beckaboomer]

Kaori's axel just FLIES across the ice! Such distance and flow! When she gets the 3A it'll be glorious.

Ahhhh only a 2T on a shaky combo but at least she didn't fall.

Love her! Her speed and skating skills are so satisfying to watch. She looks unhappy bc of that combo tho.

 

[YuBluByMe]

3F (shaky)+2T for Sakamoto. Love her new layback. She’s been skating her SP clean all “season,” but pressure got to her.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Oh no!

 

[Skatefan15]

Should still be like 69-71 though because of PCS. Her skating skills are amazing, she’s always at a lean

 

[flanker]

71.86.

 

[elektra blue]

she almost missed her combo i wish Satoko abetter luck but i'm going to miss her. see you in the russian nationals threads!

 

[Skatesocs]

Nah, not a fan of this.

 

[Skatefan15]

Go Mai!!

 

[Ichatdelune]

She seems really nervous

I miss her loop

Uh-oh there

I don't know, maybe it was because of the mistake but the performance felt flat

 

[flanker]

Go Mai

 

[chasingneverland]

Kaori Still good apart from that combo.

 

[flanker]

Charming, both the program and Mai herself

 

[Beckaboomer]

Come on Mai, rotate everything.

She is so sweet and delicate on the ice. It's good to see her back and at least seemingly in recovery from her illness. I truly hope she continues to feel better because the sport is poorer without her.

Such a good job! Lovely!

 

[zanadude]

MAI GIRL!!!

 

[brens78]

Yay Mai!

 

[Skatefan15]

She seems really nervous

I miss her loop

Uh-oh there

I don't know, maybe it was because of the mistake but the performance felt flat

I agree about the loop, hers is so good. Doesn’t make sense to me why they got rid of it (especially since Kaori doesn’t have a lutz edge).
