I'm so sad . Hana's been struggling with the jumps all season, including in practice at SkAm, and that unfortunately continued tonight. I really like this program, it shows off Hana's fun and quirky side and works really well with her speed, and she has so many fun choreo moments throughout. Her triples were both under, and losing the BV of the triple lutz will be so costly. She has so many great qualities as a skater, I wish she was showing off her full potential with the jumps.

Lara, reminds of Nancy Kerrigan! I love her costume and her program is unique!!

Yoshida's 2-3 combo was more Kerrigan than anything else today but maybe that's just me.

Fun program, though!

Hana. Fun outfit and program. Good save on the combo. Good skate.

Watching Lara Naki Gutmann I see her stylistically similar to 1991 Born on the Fouth of July (pre-Tonya) Nancy Kerrigan except that Lara has better skating skills and spins and is much more likeable. She selects unusual positions like those choreographed for Kerrigan.

Nice skate from Hana

Hana's music made me a bit nostalgic in a good way. It reminded me a bit of the first "Cutting Edge" skating themed movie from the '90s.

 

[FlossieH]

I think Hana's originality is getting a bit lost in the Japanese field. She would stand out more somewhere else.

 

[lileychristie]

Hana has been struggling to find her form this season, but I'm glad she still looks happy and enjoying her skate

Kill Bill suits her to the T!

 

[Ares]

Yoshida's speed left an impression on me but the jumps weren't what she was looking for.

 

[CellarDweller]

I hope that Hana is able to skate the hell out of this short program soon, because she sells it so well! She really looks like she's having fun out there with it, but the struggles with the jumps takes away so much.

 

[Jammers]

Why of all channels is NBC showing this on the E! channel which i naturally don't have. Could have sworn i did but guess not.

 

[auser]

Love Hana's charming smile in K&C.

 

[Kris135]

Fun program a shame about the mistakes because this program has so much potential.

 

[SmileHappy34]

Goal Alysa. I am afraid for her with expectations .

 

[Demandred]

This program really suits Hana and shows off her speed and skating skills very well but she made too many mistakes on the jumps.

Hana's SP was all what can expect from a modem or trending theme. Was funny to watch and the music was a true risk because isn't easy match choreography with technique but she did it great

 

[4everchan]

everybody is crying today.

Again with the words
It hurts to be something, its worse to be nothing...
both her and Ilia have similar voices...
