2021 Skate Canada: Women's Free Skate

[readernick]

Give her all the PCS. Patrick loves it.

Wakaba! Still a pop and issue on the 2nd combo, but a good skate! I don't know if she'll take the lead, she needs a 140.61

Japan's #WakabaHiguchi #SCI21 FS
3A a bit of wide leg but clean!!, 3Lz+3T, 3S, CCoSp4, 2A, doubled Lz in intended (3Lz+3T+2T), 3Lo+2T, 3F+2T+2Lo, FCSp4, StSq4, FCCoSp4 - Not a bad skate!

Higuchi moves like she has turbo motors connected to her skates. At this hour of the night, the speed gives me a touch of vertigo but I still appreciate it.

 

[Makkachin]

I love her smile on the 3a landing

 

[4everchan]

Patrick loved Wakaba... he says he is breathless. he loved the Steps... powerful is her keyword for her.

 

[readernick]

I love her smile on the 3a landing

So cute!

 

[Tinymavy15]

That was great. Love this program for her, and really feels like something fresh that not everyone is doing. Costume is one of the best (overall the ladies looks are killing it so far).

Behind Mai.

 

[Vemvane]

Huh, this started streaming way way ahead of the time YouTube said it would. But I am awake in time for the last group, and wow, Wakaba! What a great 3A! Love the colour of her costume - it looks like a piece of amber. And my goodness, I clearly needed to have seen Mai's skate, because I thought Wakaba would have been in first after that.

 

[Dawn825]

The entrance into the loop was crazy

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Oh Lordx2, go Alysa!

 

[tinlizzie]

Wakaba should be way ahead of Mai WTH?

 

[momrk]

Okay Alysa!!! Prime time, let's go

Behind Mai.

Yeah she needs another triple or so in there

 

[readernick]

I love Mai, but Wakaba is a much more compelling skater. Why doesn't the PCS reflect that?

 

[anonymoose_au]

Beautiful 3A but popped the lutz, and meanwhile I'm wondering why there isn't a Hakuna Matata program

Actually yeah! That would really work for Lilah and Lewis I think.

Oooo Mai wins amongst the Japanese, interesting! Well deserved though, Mai was stunning.

Good luck Alyssa!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Ugh, that 3A looked close but the fall

The great thing about Alysa is that she never seems worried when a jump goes wrong. She is such a good competitor...
