I started my journey with you in Japan, at the NHK Trophy, and I finish my journey with you in Japan, at the Japanese Championships.

But I now pass the baton onto the more than capable hands of @Weathergal.

It has been a pleasure to be announcing scores to you again.

Sayonara!

Thanks @CaroLiza_fan !

So I bombed Russian Nationals predictions but got two here and just missed the overall podium.

What an amazing event this was!

Congratulations to all the medalists and thanks to the organizers. Happy holidays to all! See you in 2026 for the second half of the season!

[SmileHappy34]

[formersk8ter]

Celebrating my silver in womens!

 

[BlissfulSynergy]

Congrats to the athletes and to prediction contest winners!

I haven't usually participated in any European or Asian countries' Nationals predictions because I generally only know the top skaters and not enough about all international skaters' abilities and competitive results. Thus, this is the first time I made a Japanese Nationals prediction. I'm surprised to win a bronze in Men. YAY! But I guess it helped that I'm familiar with many of the Japanese men who compete internationally in juniors and seniors.
