2022 NHK Trophy Women's Short Program

Well, Rinka's GPF chances depend heavily on how well Group 2 does...

she could finish 4th and probably qualify... she will win most tiebreakers with her win at SCI...

 

[Sai Bon]

Wow, three Americans in the second group in Japan! How often do you get that?

 

[jgg220]

I just bought a hoodie from the big girl sister store of Hot Topic and I’m 56.

I would give both of my replaced hips to be 56 again.

I hope Starr and Kaori, and everyone in this group, skate well!

"Gay-ori"? Really?

 

[4everchan]

Wow, three Americans in the second group in Japan! How often do you get that?

probably just tonight...

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Yeah, but 5th or lower would be bad depending on who's ahead of her, and it's not impossible that that happens now.

 

[Sai Bon]

Gah, commentator - learn to pronounce Kaori's name!!! It's ka (as in cut) - o (short o as it pot) - ri.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Did I think Rinka was younger for some reason? I don't know why...

OMG no, Amber, don't go for the 3A! You don't need it right now!

 

[auser]

wow.. what a night... @SarahSynchro and @peese are here !

So happy to see you both here!

 

[4everchan]

Yeah, but 5th or lower would be bad depending on who's ahead of her, and it's not impossible that that happens now.

5th is tricky indeed... but with Kaori here, it may be helpful as the other contenders will also rank lower.

 

[balabam]

maybe the combo was short on the second jump?

I looked at it now once more and no way, if they counted it under, it's fake call. We'll see at protocols

 

[Sai Bon]

I love Amber's costume...

"Keori Sakamoto from Kobi!"

I like Ted but I start to not like how much he mispronounces names, even for the well-known skaters... Looks like he doesn't put any effort in learning the names. Surely someone must have told him about this already

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Ted, every time you say Kay-or-ee you drive a stake deeper into my vampiric heart

you mean they keep 11 women under 70 and give Kaori 79?

 

[4everchan]

Gah, commentator - learn to pronounce Kaori's name!!! It's ka (as in cut) - o (short o as it pot) - ri.

LOL Ted cannot even pronounce names in english... and he is the worst with french.. so pretty much fails pronouncing all the names from Canada.. imagine the others???

i was talking about ranking points but that may happen was well.

It's the trademark of That Parton.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I mean, I'd like great quality to matter in men's too, thanks...

Probably another reason NHK broadcast might not have a tech box~
NHK site pbp is understandably slightly ahead of the ISU stream
Probably shouldn't have that tab open because I saw Rinka's -GOE on the 3A and invalid Loop before watching her attempts on stream
