What does this bolded part mean?

What was the first step? Will there be a 3rd?

typo for oven (i touched it, Sasha, deal with it) fixed now. the first step was christmas eve dinner, there will be a 3rd...and a 4rth...and probably a 5th...it's hard to be italian guys

Rika also made the podium as a junior and began skating as a Senior as soon as she was age eligible. You don't have to wait if you are better than the top contenders. Although, you might if like Mana the JF doesn't like you.

To be fair, Mana wasn't nearly as good as she is now as a junior. She was one of the top juniors in Japan, but her international results were pretty mediocre. She's been inconsistent this season even, finishing 9th at SCI. So I don't think JSF "doesn't like her" or anything, she's just finally putting all the pieces together this season and has a lot of growing to do.

back from the break, i managed no to set my house on fire and the christmas lunch, second step of the italian festive food marathon, is safe in the oven

Glad you are safe.. please don't scare me like that.

lovely ballerina remind me of someone

Someone is an Alina fan.

Ayumi Shibayama why does she have only one hand thingy

 

[rollerblade]

Ayumi is so adorable. I take it she didn't go for the 4T? Or is she not the one who does 4T?

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Ayumi is so good... I can't wait to see her on the JGP next season. Also, Gypsy Dance from Don Quixote is one of my favourite pieces for skating. That, and Winter, and I'm a sucker for a really really good Turandot.

That's Rion Sumiyoshi, the last skater in this group.

Not the worst of choices for a young aspiring skater.

 

[readernick]

Very cute! Clean elements. Adorable smile. Program does nothing for me, rather like the original.

 

[mirai4life]

That was fun to watch

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Good girl, Ayumi!
Held back the performance a bit but that's totally understandable

 

[EdgeCall]

Not bad at all!

 

[Beckaboomer]

Aww bless, it looks like Ayumi's a big Zagitova fan.

Wow! What a nice clean program! (I actually like this Quixote better than Zagi's because I didn't like the construction of that one, sue me. I never got past all of the jumps being in the second half, good strategy as it was.)

Not her, Rion the last in this group
Ayumi has attempted the 3A in competition but none successful yet

 

[Martins123]

I thought that was really good! she seems to channel the music well, and nice and clean. a name to look out for

 

[rollerblade]

Uh, hot assistant coach of Mie Hamada stole Maxim Trankov hair dye. WHY!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

OMG Mao's there to watch!

 

[rollerblade]

That's Rion Sumiyoshi, the last skater in this group.

Oh. They have 2 quadsters. I was thinking of Mao Shimada. Is she too young to skate here?
