Seems like Marin had a bad skate I worry about skaters when they get URs but for now I'm just guessing she had an off day and I'm hoping she'll have a better one at junior nats. Good for Higuchi, I look forward to seeing her on the JGP next year!
Ando is 13th in the SP. Since Imai is out of this competition, the top 5 can make it to Japanese nationals. It must be quite difficult for Ando at this moment.
Ando's TES was 18.65 and PCS was only 23.32 points. It must be very demoralizing even considering a bad performance. She may want to withdraw from the FS but her sponsors won't allow that.
