That layback was kind of weak also. My heart hurts for her because she really dug herself a hole.

Nooo she's crying

 

[labgoat]

Ami is on the bubble - no Q

 

[elektra blue]

oh no another disaster

 

[labgoat]

Chikako Saegusa is not helping her own chances on the first passes. She looks lovely and is a very pleasant skater. She may give Ami her ticket into the free though.

 

[labgoat]

She looks like the cover of a Madeline book, which reminds me I have Madeleines to snack on.

Mai Takahashi is here to wake us up and survive! Love her dress - very sharp.

 

[elektra blue]

this girl has a lot of fans + 5 for Gloria Gaynor

Love her confidence and attitude and presence. Her technical ability is a bit lower and may not get her through.

Not her best skate today but at least she's not popping as much as she was before switching to MF Academy
She's showing more confidence in her skating

Ice Resurfacing~

 

[labgoat]

Going to pay some bills while I wait.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

I would like to see a bit more extension and attention to the shapes Chiyono is making. I have not seen her before, so she may just be young in age and style.

She's 22 and has been performing the same SP and FS for the last...idk...three seasons?...at least

Mai Takahashi and Chiyono Nagami is first National participation for any grades(Novice, Junior, Senior).
