[matcha]

Rika is chatting with American ladies. Her English must be good?

Mirai also speaks Japanese.

I think Mirai is translating actually like someone said above She speaks Japanese at home so is fluent in both.

 

[graciegoldfan17]

I like GRACIE, MIRAI and RIKA talking

 

[OS]

maybe she's sick

She coughed and seems to have a cold and did the sniffles at the KnC, seems she has a cold. looked really pale.

 

[Sorrento]

Oh no I was wrong, I hope Zijun is not very sick, she looked very pale.

Kana didn't attempt 3Lz in her programs and popped her 3L. A downgraded combo is still better than not doing a triple at all.
Plus, the fact that Kana was inconsistent this season and didn't make the Words team might have influenced her PCS somewhat.

With 47 TES, 59 PCS for Kanako is already too high.

Mirai's translating it

I'm sorry, I can't watch Satoko pre-rotate her way to a title here ahead of a skater like Mirai who struggled for years to correct her jump technique.

But on the positive side, I like that she can spin in both directions.

 

[graciegoldfan17]

The Sure winner of Gold Medal!!

 

[randomfan]

Oh no! CBC stream is freezing a lot now!

 

[Sugarpova]

the stream buffers during jumps

I can't watch her program. Pre rotations

Let's accept the fact, tech specialists don't care and judges don't care. Lol
Satoko will medal at WC for sure and she can even win.

 

[OS]

As much as I dislike Satoko's jumps, her arm movements and musicality has really improved. She feels the music more than mechanical.

 

[tulosai]

I'm sorry but one of Satoko's triples only had two rotations in the air, and you could actually see this in real time. I really wish something would be done about her preroation. She is a lovely skater but it isn't fair to the others.

 

[karne]

I'm sorry, I can't watch Satoko pre-rotate her way to a title here ahead of a skater like Mirai who struggled for years to correct her jump technique..

So first pre-rotates and second under-rotates.


I don't feel like either is a positive thing.

So calm and consistent skater. Small jumps, yes, but enough for the win by some margin

FS: 74.89+67.54 = 142.43 (PB), 214.91 (PB), 1/20

 

[randomfan]

Seems like she changed some of the choreography. Good job Satoko! But judges please don't overscore her again...

 

[thoakun]

For the first time, I felt like Satoko's FS was too short. I want mooaaah

 

[Sorrento]

And we have a winner!
