Nice! I leave the PBPs to you

 

[yesterday]

Good start by Ayumi. Low Juniorish PCS score, which is expected. This score might put her in the penultimate group. She will be competing against Hana, Mone and Ami for the second Junior spot.

PCS - 24.47 next
so 27.22 does not seem so bad
although it's going to be higher later

cut off score last year was 58.36

What a nice smile

 

[yesterday]

Why is the woman announcing every technical element? You can watch it or read the box or both, so... idk?

Miyabi

That 3S+3T was huge!!
I remember that Gracie Gold is the oldest lady to land 3Lz3T at 27, I wonder if Miyabi holds the same for 3s3t at 27 too?

But the stand out point for me was how happy she looked on the ice. She clearly really loves skating. I can feel her joy through my screen

What a delightful skate from Miyabi!

Cathy Reed?

Marvelous skating so far.

But three commentators at once is a bit much.

Cut off to make the free skate? Miyabi is so happy. I hope she makes the free skate portion.
Edit: she got 59. Should be close.

First time I've seen Mao. Very proficient, but she doesn't do it for me...

 

[lileychristie]

But three commentators at once is a bit much.

The FujiTV FOD premium stream has no commentator at all - at first I was like oh it's too quiet but I guess quiet is better than 3 commentators

 

[lileychristie]

Wow, Mao broke 70 in Japan as a junior!!

Great skate as always

 

[yesterday]

70.28 - 41.21 - 29.07
it's going up

 

[YuBluByMe]

Little Mao went clean. Gorgeous I-spin at the end as usual.
