2025 Kinoshita Group Cup Women's Free Skate

[labgoat]

Wakaba seems a bit off today. She is not commanding the ice like Rinka and Mako did today. She did really come alive in the footwork section. Oh I hope she did not hurt herself. I want to give her a big hug - something is really bothering her.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Oh man. Higuchi’s eating popcorn. I don’t think she even landed a clean triple.

It looks like she may have pulled something - like she didn't trust herself to stand up right away. She also seemed very emotional. Hope it is not serious - don't give up my dear. Its much too early for that.

I found another stream, it doesn't buffer but apparently there's a bad echo with the sound. We can't win

I was afraid she was going to be sick on the ice
Hopefully it was just a bit of anxiety and she's feeling better already

Saki 3A during warmup

 

[labgoat]

Wow Saki has such a beautiful dress and 3A.
Mone also has a gorgeous dress

Eww...what is Bradie wearing. She looks like her ribs and spine is showing. I love The Mission - but this costume is not something I would ever pick. I also do not like Nella Fantasia - the pop version of The Mission - pick one or the other. You are a tenacious competitor but this does not work for me. I'd rather you use the Earth program than this. Either tell the story of the Guarani people or just be pretty. I am sorry to be harsh - but it is my honest opinion.

the judges do not seem to like it either 5th in free, 2nd overall

 

[labgoat]

I did not realize that Mako and Kaori are skating to the same music.

 

[labgoat]

Lovely powerful skating by Kaori. The music and message suits her. One pop, but I'd say she is on track. Don't worry my dear, just stay healthy. She is benefiting from the busy footwork of last year. It brought up her overall quickness.

Go Madeline! Lovely in Chartreuse. Opening pop on the opening lutz combo. Oh no more pops. Back on track with a gorgeous 3Lo. Second lutz is a no go as well today. I love this program, but the lack of difficulty is going to hurt. The program is a stunner, but the jumps are not her friend today.
