a pink tuxedo...i hate it

Is it really pink? Isn't it violet? Sorry, my man's colorblind eyes are terrible at that...

Mao. Beautiful dress. Good program and great skate.

 

[Karoltyna]

AAAAAAAAAHHHH Mie is smiling

 

[elektra blue]

I think they are trying to position her as the next superstar in Japan. Cute (and pink) is probably a good choice for that.

it's 2025, everywhere else they're trying to promote a different version of youth and femininity, it wouldn't hurt if japan tried the same thing, they might even have more success than they think

Mao has become such a nice performer, this program is dufficult as hell and she' such a pro at still very young age. Lutz was scary but she did not let it go.

Frills are not a good idea in figure skating.

all the lessons i gave you...such a waste of time...i better drink to forget this disappointment

 

[Karoltyna]

Ok, I quite enjoyed this one

 

[Jeanie19]

Marta. Fun dress and program. Good skate.

Seems like Darja from Finland is the only girl from the whole group who has no skating touch with Russia (at least no touch I am aware of).

She has relatives in Estonia. ( I just came home so that's why I saw this now)

Hey, I agree (I didn't like the cutesy costume either) but look at the little girl characters in anime. And to be fair, maybe it's what Mao herself feels comfortable in. Next year when she turns senior they may have to change the image.

i belive in you, Ted, you can do it

C'mon, it's pink but it has big Paul Poirier inspired cigarrette hole at the back - I think we can count it as progressive

I edited it cause my reply was in the quote, sorry for that.

Yes, but the sport would be poorer if he did.

 

[cocteautwin]

Oh no, please not SOS

 

[elektra blue]

oh Nika did the choreo?

 

[flanker]

Nika Egadze is her choreographer, interesting.

 

[Karoltyna]

interesting

Aisha. Elegant black dress. Nice program choreographed by Egadze. Rough beginning , but the rest all greens.
