I may be grumpy and hard to please today, but I didn't feel the tango from Inga at all. Her jumps are tidy and huge, though, kudos to her.

 

[skim1001]

a bit harsh on Inga there.

 

[elektra blue]

now this is a beautiful tango costume

 

[Ichatdelune]

Red in a Black Swan dress, this is new

 

[RafaelAstro]

Wow how tall is this girl!?

 

[Layback11]

I've never seen a flying camel entrance that looked so much like it was going to be a flying sit.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

music so far is just

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Inga face almost got sliced

Erm, that was one of my little witches that I threatened to set on you earlier that was the other half of that incident...

Hopefully it was just the camera angle, and they weren't actually that close.

It didn't seem to ruffle Inga come the programme, anyway.

She goes into 3rd position.

Is it just me or does Emilia look absolutely exhausted now? Really seems like that fall took the wind out of her sails

 

[elektra blue]

the black and red swan, sadly it didn't work

The Japanese side of the internet seems to indicate that her first name is also written in kanji rather than katakana, so I don't think there's any connection to the name Lilia?

Interesting about the alternate reading! I have absolutely given up on memorizing how kanji are read when they're used in names because almost no rhyme or reason at all, only General Patterns that don't always hold...

Oh her given name is written with kanji, that I know, but well in Korea there are cases of names of western origin being given Chinese characters (=kanji) that correspond to the sounds, so I hadn't ruled the possibility out just because her parents named her with kanji. And oh I'm absolutely terrible with yomikata, I just speak mediocre Japanese and can read maybe 1 out of 10 surnames

Emilia. Really pretty dress. Good spins. Shame about the mistakes.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Poor Emilia, she is much better than this hopefully she can have a redemption skate in the free

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Ami GANBA!

 

[skim1001]

Let's go Ami!

 

[cohkaix]

Go Ami!

(speaking mediocre Japanese gang unite)

Skating really helps with surnames because I know what the names are going in, so if I see one kanji that I know, I can probably think of a skater whose name contains that sound and figure it out - "oh, this is the kanji for no, so that must be ko," etc etc, but it takes a lot of backpedaling.

Then again, I have had many Japanese friends tell me that they occasionally have no idea what someone's name is until they ask for this reason ...

Umbrellas was such a lovely choice for Ami, and so was this dress. She's such a soothing skater to watch.

Her smile when she landed the 3F

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Ami is in a really good shape this season im very exited for her freeskate!

 

[skim1001]

yay Ami!!
