Next hot favourite for rising up from the grave is Ferdinand Toeloop I think

 

[LazyFuzai]

Not good enough to be happy.Time to forget this Nationals...

 

[Ichatdelune]

Ouchy fall on the 4T and wonky flip but overall pretty decent

Rinky: "me isn't liking no quads today".

 

[hermine17]

I'm very proud of Rion.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Okay, I’ll take that from Sumiyoshi. The fall on the 4T was rough, but she got it together in the second half. Hopefully, she’ll move up in the standings.

Rion fought hard and gave it her all in the performance
Tried her best

Still say Kao should help Rion with her 4T and she should help him with his spins...

Definitely not the cleanest we've seen Rion skate this program, that fall on the 4T looked painful and scary as hell, so I hope she's okay. She had some really good points though: her spins were fabulous and that first combo especially was <3
I really love this free skate for Rion, and it's so incredible when it's clean, imo one of the best programs this year! I hope Rion gets another chance to show it off because I've seen her perform it so cleanly!

[elektra blue]

is she a falling leaf?

I also love this free program, it's a beautiful exploration of minimalistic music and unique movement. It would perhaps be considered too complex for most juniors, but Ayumi skates it well. She's fought through a tough season and I hope things go up for her from here.

 

[Ichatdelune]

I am personally in the minority in that I don't like this program, but that was a skate she could be happy with

 

[hermine17]

Ayumi!I love this program so much!

 

[ptvvibezz]

I love Kaitlyn Weaver as a choregrapher

 

[EdgeCall]
