2022-23 Japan National Championships - Women's SP

[Sai Bon]

Hina Takeno next. Oh no, not Memoirs of a Geisha again!

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

That's how they do commentary in Japan
They usually have a former/pro skater calling out the elements and a TV announcer from the host broadcast company with them for...banter?

No commentary on FOD so can't confirm but I believe Shizuka Arakawa is doing commentary for the Women's events

So good to see Mao do well once again! I also really liked Miyabi before her, she looked as if she was enjoying every second of her program!

 

[RatedPG]

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

Her last spin is amazing! But, her free skate to me, is where she shines more.

Japan delivering a good fight against the Korean dressmakers.

Mao did the best she could do. TES score of 41 and a PCS score close to 30. She has a chance to squeak and make the final group after that skate. The 70 score will be hard to surpass by 6 athletes. Good for her.

Hina, I love her dress and makeup so much

Too bad about the fall on the lutz, but good skate otherwise. That last layback spin was so fast!

irritating. If that's her I believe she would have much better information and she does talk a bit more during replays but it's just unnecessary to have her ticking the elements off

 

[RatedPG]

Hina! Might not make it to the free skate portion with this skate
5 skaters are eliminated. Mao and Ayumi are the only two skaters over 60. The Junior girls are the ones to watch out for in these first three groups.

I know. In most cases, I can look at the box. But, I don’t understand Japanese and so I only understand when she names the elements.

 

[RatedPG]

Good start to the event. I love how the Japanese run their events. I love their system of rankings, seeds, etc….. Plus, I love seeing the Junior girls compete against the Senior Girls in this one event.

Maybe I sound cranky because it's earlier here for me but you see a spin, right?
And there's only so many different jumps. So Idk..

Axel - アクセル
Salchow - サルコフ
Loop - ループ
Toeloop - トーループ
Flip - フリップ
Lutz - ルッツ

I'm sorry! Wasn't sure if you going to post scores after each group~
I'll leave it to you. Thank you so much!

I'm such a busybody~

Why such a long wait before the next group?

There's the ice resurfacing!

Why such a long wait before the next group?

The downside of an uneven number of groups
