[EdgeCall]

Oh please come on.

 

[Mathematician]

The GOEs at this tournament seem to be generally low, but the levels are very generous. I genuinely wonder if the judges are even paying attention at all in their spin leveling or just eye-balling it.

It started so well for Wakaba and then the jumps came along. She's given us so many good moments over the years.

This cover makes this song way too pretty. It should be grittier.

 

[YuBluByMe]

I was expecting this from Higuchi actually. At least she looks pretty out there.

 

[TallyT]

I want to like Wakaba's dress - I love pink - but it's so fussy. And another song I loathe...

Oh no, I wanted her to do well though

 

[LazyFuzai]

As commentator said.It was sort of nightmare.The ankle is still bothering her,which is sad.
Dress is amazing.
Also Waka and Kaori should be jailed for music choices for their last season,because it's strange to cry every competition they compete...

 

[Jeanie19]

Wakaba. Beautiful dress. Good program. So sad about the combo and pop.

 

[Ares]

Even with the stumble? I don't know. I'm surprised they gave her plus for it.

I am sleepy and I'm blanking out, I didn't see it.

 

[Vemvane]

Oh, Wakaba. Huge 2A to start, but then the 3Lz goes wrong, and can't make the combination on the flip later. Once again, jumps aren't real. Always happy to see her head back twizzles in the step sequence. Loved the big split jump, and the slide as well.

Wakaba

And no Mark, I think Wakaba's placement didn't actually count at Worlds because Kaori & Mone placed 2nd and 3rd

 

[elektra blue]

forza Anna! only sparkles no needles please

 

[TallyT]

you know which one i remember best btw are you interested in joining a certain prestigious judging panel?

I like the idea of joining but let no one call me biased when I say rude things about the costumes of skaters I also think rude things about...

 

[cocteautwin]

So much pressure on Kaori now to save the event for Japanese audience

It started so well for Wakaba and then the jumps came along. She's given us so many good moments over the years.

This cover makes this song way too pretty. It should be grittier.

I agree - Wakaba is grit, power and with a big heart this costume is a pale version of her

 

[labgoat]

This woman singing this song is too old for Anna.
She needs a much younger diva singing of youthful drama.

 

[TallyT]

Music to have toothache to....

 

[YuBluByMe]

She fell on the 3F in her first GP too.
