Ted keeps talking about the score in the corner- I haven't had that at all the entire time I have been watching.

Rinka is on fire. Despite the miscue .
She won omit.

Both hetero Alysa such a joy to watch.
Such ease and expression.

Love Alysa. Love love Alysa's perfectly centered spins. But, I'm tired of this program. It was never that good, unlike the short, and one year is enough. Hope she reworks her new LP and brings it back for Nationals.

Agreed! Not much time but I would love to see a different LP.

The downgrade and quarter will push her down to silver I think (and the PCS)

Just a few too many tight landings for Rinka on her lutzes and the sal, but that was a really gutsy and impressive program, she's definitely in the hunt for an Olympic spot for Team Japan

I knew Watanabe was going to bring it. She skates best at moments like this. What I like most about her is her grit and determination and she’s never afraid of the ice. She seems to have finally solidified the 3A somewhat too. She’s been hitting the 3A+3T all season…well, since the international competitions started.

 

[Miya88]

lo she lost

 

[Arigato]

Winnah!

 

[lariko]

Well, they did what they could to put Alysa into first.

 

[Paulipau]

Why how

 

[moonvine]

Well I was wrong.

 

[Miya88]

disgusting

 

[Princessroja]

Ouch. She lost ten points on the tech review? Oof.

 

[Kris135]

I am a bit surprised about thar

Sorry but no. This is rigged. Tech panel had completely different standards for the two last skates.

 

[TallyT]

Call me crazy but she is main contender for gold in Olympics.

Can you imagine if she or one of the others bubbling up took OGM from Kaori, Alusa, Amber and Adeliia?

 

[labgoat]

I think I agree. I will be happy with them 1-2 either way

 

[EdgeCall]

Surprise, surprise ...
