I'm frustrated that JSF gave Rinka Watanabe 64 in PCS with this amazing skate.
She was score in PCS 65 in GPF and 67 in skate america.
JSF do everything for Rinka to not make her in the Olympic team. What a shame !

Chiba…..stay calm and just do what you’ve been doing all season. OH HELL SHE LOOKS TERRIFIED!

 

[LazyFuzai]

She did amazing this Nationals.Didnt expect that level from her.Nice surprise and amazing 3A's from her both short and free.
And she is not crying.
Nice pose in Stsq as well with your head on the back leg.
Good job.

A wonderful skate from Mone, and that will almost certainly ensure she makes the Olympic team. I think she got a lot of her GP Final nerves out after the short yesterday, her jumps started clicking in practice today. The loop and sal were a little tight but those were her nemesis jumps at the Final and she landed them, everything else was great. She was performing this program the most that I've ever seen, even during the first half, and her skating skills are so good. The freedom in her step and choreo sequence was so wonderful to see.

Personally, I liked the other one more. But, this is pretty, too.

They are reviewing a lot of her jumps which is fair to be honest they look questionable but I thought they would give her some leeway as a favorite... She started off so nervous. It got better towards the end. Appreciate her skating.

Should be enough for the Olympic team, even if not podium.

Will Mayuko be a senior next season?

No, she has one more Junior season in front of her. May just be able to grab a Jr Worlds title with a whole slew of skaters moving up (including Mao and the Kim twins).

 

[EdgeCall]

let's see if Juliet stab herself or not...

She didn't, and I hope the judges won't dare ...

 

[YuBluByMe]

Whew! I swear Chiba needs to get a handle on her facial expressions when she takes to the ice. Her looking terrified makes me terrified. But she did the thing!

 

[cocteautwin]

Wonderful, beautiful skate from Mone! Jumps were a bit tight (nerves and I guess she's still not fully recovered from GPF) but I hope they won't be too harsh on her and make up with PCS. She really deserves to be on the olympic team.

some carrots will be served

 

[lileychristie]

Some jumps looked tight but Mone survived

Now JSF will definitely let this to lead over Yuna finally
