[elektra blue]

they all look so worried...

Prayer circle for Kaori, Mone and Ami

 

[EdgeCall]

they all look so worried...

Considering who they are up against, understandable.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Oooh, I really like Chiba’s new dress. Blue is my favorite character and I love that particular shade.

 

[readernick]

There is no such thing as overscoring in a Japan domestic event!!

Wakaba and Yuna earned those 200+ scores!!

They do overscore their favorites but usually that's just one or two select skaters in each field and they have never included Yuna or Wakaba in that preferential treatment

 

[sissy7]

Sooo godd to see Big Mao and Midori, what I wouldn't give to hear their commentary

 

[lileychristie]

Rinka!!! May all the Bathynomus giganteus in the world bless you!

 

[yfan1]

Blue is my favorite character

Sleepy?

 

[LazyFuzai]

Yuna is honestly the most artistic woman in the whole women's field. 70 PCS isn't really overscored imho...

Ofc,im not saying i don't agree with PCS for her

 

[Lunalovesskating]

Rinka fighting for that spot

 

[freedomlover]

Rinka does the two clean 3As!!

 

[LazyFuzai]

Mone going into modeling mode trying new dresses every skate

 

[readernick]

Rinka does the two clean 3As!!

I don't think they were clean but it also doesn't look like they are getting reviewed so good for her!

Edit: nevermind the first one is getting reviewed now...... Not good for her...

 

[Lunalovesskating]

Everyone falling to their knees today. Lord

 

[Dawn825]

Aww. What an incredible fight.

 

[sissy7]

Everyone falling to their knees today. Lord

I feel soon we will also...

RINKAAAAA that was insane!!!!!!!!! Two clean 3As, the rest of the program was so good as well, she lost some points in the second half but that was her bid for an Olympic spot. Her PCS scores aren't the strongest in this final group, this program doesn't have great ice coverage, and some under calls on her lutzes and losing the sal really hurt her but that was such a good program. Now, she needs to hope for errors from Mone or Ami but that was still her strongest free of the season.

 

[lileychristie]

Rinka finally landed the two triple axels!! At Nationals to boot

80 provisional TES, but how many qarrots will bring it down....

 

[rabidline]

Rinka is just. What guts.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Rinka poured everything she had into this, and it was almost, almost everything she wanted. Good girl. Whether she makes it to the Olympics or not, she did what she could do.
