I’m baffled on how freaking Bradie Tennell got higher PCS than our Wakabond Higuchi.

Absolutely not. But have you seen her program yet? This was not her best and I wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't feeling well at that time.

Any recent video on Marin Honda? I feel I haven't seen her for a while. She showed sp in summer shows, how about her LP? Any videos of her performing it?

there was a very short video of it on jpn tv a few weeks ago. She seems to be working quietly, she said in her last interview that training is very intense over there at Raf's. At least she's focused. I hope it pays off
update: it's like we summoned this
this small video of marin training in the USA just came out today https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6u1ae3

Congratulations Rika!
I'm so proud of her clean 3A!
I really love her FS especially her step sequence. It was mesmerizing.

Yeah i too am praying she doesn't peak early then loses momentum at the most important competitions
Me too!! But this was not perfect so she didn’t exactly peak. She fell on the SP and she had trouble with the 3S and I think with the 3Lo too. She’s struggling with the transitions, really. She used to have super difficult transition into the 3Lo but she slightly changed it and now she changed it again. She’s trying to make it work. The 3S is her most consistent jump but because she added those complicated entry and exit it became a struggle. I hope she gets it right next time! It looks absolutely amazing when she does! [emoji7] But props to her adjusting into the choreo and not losing her feel for the music.
By the way, I’m pretty sure both Nepela and ACI had a mismatched audio because all the skaters seemed off their music in both events.

Wow Rika! The Japanese ladies are in many ways just as strong as the Russians. Rika if she does both 3A is going to be a world contender if not fav for gold. The points. Such a blood bath in Japan Wakaba, Rika, Satoko, Main et al I love the Japenseladies as they are quite musical and good at presentation. It is easily possible we could see just like last year no Russian lady on the podium though a Japanese sweep is possible it might be unlikely with Bradie, the Russians and Carolina and risking Koreans. This is going to be good but it is really nice to see such positive skates from the Japanese ladies already.

Rika is very impressive - a full package with 3As. If she is consistent she is the force of this season.

Is it too wishful to see Rika as a possibility for GPF, 4C, and Worlds gold right now?! Because if she keeps skating like that it’s possible
