Recentry, I've been thinking that compulsory is important.
I've been learning since I was little, and I've had a teacher
teach me from the beginning, so I think that's what's brought me
where I am now in skating, and I'm glad I've been doing it
since I was little.

The triple axel is no longer a high-difficulty jump.

Ami Nikai gave me favorite short program performance. She has beautiful fluidity and smooth speed through her marvelous triple axel, triple lutz/triple toe combo and her triple loop, with excellent edging, musicality and flexibility especially through her step sequence, sit spin and I spin at the end. Her engaging expressions with wide eyed smiles and contagious energy also fit the carnvelesque character of the music. I hope Ami skates just as great in the freeskate.

Ami was spectacular in Olympic short. Bravissimo!

 

[Magill]

Ami's secret to having nerves of steel revealed! She's reading extracts from Mao Asada's and Yuzuru Hanyu's autobiographies before going to competitions to calm herself, relax and get into the proper mindset. Seems to be working miracles

Congrats to Ami for the Bronze medal.

 

[Seruleane]

Congrats to Ami! I was hoping for gold or silver, but bronze is amazing for her first Olympics. Her joy and effervescence on the ice are really special. I can't wait to see her grow artistically as a skater.

Congrats to an amazing short program and following it up with a strong free skate. She is an absolute joy on the ice

Ami Nakai is skating last of the penultimate group for her first Senior World Championships, at 3:27pm. I hope that she'll be happy of her skate!

 

[DizzyFrenchie]

I doubt that she's happy of her skate and place, but it was really a good Senior debut and she's in the race!

 

[kiimnu]

I doubt that she's happy of her skate and place, but it was really a good Senior debut and she's in the race!
