2020-21 Japanese Nationals: Ladies' Free Skate

[zanadude]

She should have kept the quad in there. Gotta stay true to yourself.

Mako is such a talented jumper. Why is she making these mistakes? I don't think she checks her jumps properly....

 

[rollerblade]

Why is there a mouth on Fluffy’s coat

To go with the "teeth" manicure.

I actually didn't notice the mouth until you said it lol.

Falling on the lyric "fall"...worthy of extra interpretation points?

I actually really like this song, but feel annoyed about that because wasn't it in 50 Shades of Grey or Twilight or something?

I, also, like this music for Mako. Plus, honestly, it has to be better than her SP doesn't it?

 

[SNAKSuyun]

Just realized Mai is likely to be fourth again and this gives me depression

 

[elektra blue]

she is nice but program and music are totally forgettable

 

[Beckaboomer]

Mako... come on ladies, channel the competitive energy from the Russian ladies yesterday!

I can't really get into "A Thousand Years" as a skating program, like even Han Yan's I am "meh" about and it's.. Han Yan.

Not really her day today. Fall and several rough landings. She doesn't look too unhappy.

 

[Skatefan15]

I definitely prefer this program to the short, because I actually like the music

I haven't watched the SPs, but wait she's not the one with that scary voice Madam Butterfly is she? That music is scary!

It's her comeback year and 4th is better than 5th.

[Ichatdelune]

Not a good day for her, but at least she didn't go for that not-quite-existent 4S again

Is she crying oh lord

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Mako has a really lovely presence on the ice. She gives the impression that she truly loves to skate and perform. Her jumps are really exciting to watch, but they were a bit out of control in this performance. Mako has great speed and flow, but she needs to work on her stretch and refinement.

 

[ana]

Satoko is so beautiful on the ice. Her skating is magic.

 

[Yuzuruu]

she is nice but program and music are totally forgettable

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Uninspiring and a little boring.

 

[SNAKSuyun]

It's her comeback year and 4th is better than 5th.

It's definitely an achievement, but she's deserved podium and missed it so many times already...

Yes it's in Twilight... it's a pretty song but I feel like it needs more ups and downs for figure skating.

 

[elektra blue]

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Uninspiring and a little boring.

it's a shame she could do so much better

 

[Skatefan15]

So nervous for Mai! I really hope she can be 3rd but...
