Kaori. Pretty dress and a nice program. Really good skate.

Kaori, that single axel right when 'Non, je ne regrette rien' started playing is just

Subtle Kaori skating . Kaori skating being Kaori getting job done

Kaori is such a better skater than she was even a year ago! He footwork is faster, her transitions are better and she is now complete. There is still Nationals for the goodbye competitively, but you will be back in shows for a long time.

149 with a popped axel? do I even want to understand this?

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

That was beautiful from Kaori.

I'm disappointed they didn't show Mao Asada's reaction to the programme.

Kaori goes into the lead of both the FS and overall. But she's disappointed with the scores.

That's more like it Kaori! Oh, love that 2A. Good job.

 

[lileychristie]

Kaori's free skate packaging is just spot on, she looks so mature & elegant, like a grand dame - which is exactly what the program calls for

 

[demitasse]

i like amber a lot and im so glad she had her redemption skate with her 3a, but seeing her and kaori back to back, the difference speed and flow across the ice is so evident

Olys?

at home

 

[flanker]

Kaori delivered well as for performance, I wasn't very carried out by her jumps today (I don't mean that popped Axel) but from aesthetic angle it was great.

Olys?

Well, we can't be sure what Japan Fed decides yet

 

[labgoat]

Yay Rinka!

 

[Lunalovesskating]

Carrots

 

[labgoat]

I don't know if I have said this but Rinka's dress in absolutely gorgeous. Oh no the dreaded 3Euler....

 

[freedomlover]

good skate for Rinka tbh!!

 

[bartlebooth]

A brave and generous skate by Rinka. She's unstoppable.

 

[readernick]

How strict is this technical panel? Because if they review these jumps most are going to be under. Good for Rinka for holding on! But, how are the judges giving these jumps positive GOE even in real-time? I do just love Rinka's fight.....

 

[elektra blue]

Rinka on fire! shame on that loop
