[Jeanie19]

Rion. Beautiful dress and a beautiful program. Great skate, all greens.

 

[Isk]

Some nice music selections so far. I missed Livia except steps, but Ami was on fire and Rion was soft and delicate.

I love that the camera couldn't keep up with Rion

 

[4everchan]

[ManyCairns]

Gentle, serene, beautiful from Rion.

I would not want to be the person making the decision on the Japanese Olympic team this season.

I don't know, great skate, but I was so bored... I wasn't a fan of her SP last season as well, maybe Misha Ge isn't the best choreographer for her?

A lovely skate by Rion. Exquisite floating arms at the start, and beautiful hands throughout. Her jump landings look so soft, and she has such nice running edges after the solo jumps. Really liked that head back spread eagle after her 3F. Her twizzles are so quick, when they are on camera. Oh, another knee slide as difficult exit from the final spin, but she finishes on her feet, with a huge smile.

Judging by what we've seen so far the battle for Olympic spots in Japan's team will be even more fierce than I expected. Rion was fantastic, her skating is so beautiful and graceful.

Are we sure it's Rion? That messy shaky girl from last season?
The improvement is huuuuuuuge.Starting with perfect synchro with music.Every movement connect together.Into those technically soft beautiful jumps and landings.Its peak for from her.Hope it's staying with us for entire season.
Mention for a dress ovviously

The only thing she might want is a bit more extension but nobody is perfect.

French cameramen. Enough said.

Awful camera work. Totally unacceptable. Please focus on the skater and keep them in the centre of the frame. Always. Period.
