Good Luck to all!

I made it home for the last 2 groups!

Sad to see Yo's placement, I don't think she'll make it to the senior nats I love her FS so much, I was hoping I can see more of it this season.

Her lutz seems to be giving her issues in couple of competitions, I think she should only do it once in the free and repeat the flip instead.

Ayumi GANBA!!!

 

[lileychristie]

I looooove Ayumi Nakao's spunk so much

And a clean skate!! I hope she can build herself to JGP level - she brings a breath of fresh air among the Japanese juniors

Great skate!

Mayuko, I didn't know she's training 3A! I think she slows down a bit too much when entering her jumps though, she probably needs more speed to land that 3A.

I don't like the egyptian arms, but I love her choreo sequence!! That lunge with side back bend!! And the camel spin

I was wondering if she would chance the 3A with so much on the line
This was a way better attempt than the one at Sectional

118.55 / 176.78 into 2nd!!!

 

[lileychristie]

Wow Haruna, WOWWWW!!!

I loooove her 3S+3T so much, and how many women skaters, junior or seniors, do 2 triple-triple these days!? With 1 in the second half even.
This program suits her well. I hope she keeps building her single career, or get a solid pair guy to match her skills.

Hmmm, I expect the score to be higher... Haruna's jumps look cleaner than Rena to me

She had to upgrade this program from a Novice layout to a Junior compliant one
A few errors but still did a great job!

15. Rena Uezono

The fog on the ice matched her music as if she brought the fog with her

I thought the same too when watching Rena The fog only seems to exist on the left side of the rink though, the right side is clear somehow

 

[lileychristie]

Omggggg Karin is soooo adorable!!!
I love her spins!! 1-handed biellman! And how fun was that choreo sequence

How old is she? Is she junior-eligible next season?

AMI GANBAAAA~!!!
