2018-19 Japanese National FS Championships Ladies' FS

Gorgeous program! :luv17: This field is tough though so we'll see

 

[MaiKatze]

This is going to be close. Satoko had a pretty big lead after the short.

 

[brens78]

Satoko had a good run of being Japan's number 1. Shame it wasn't her best skate but I think she'll still go to the worlds.

 

[Ichatdelune]

I don't see Kihira Rika not winning, now she's doubled her flip and all.

Also, her skating skills are top-notch as usual, but am I the only one who thought her performance was stiffer than usual? (It's still good, but not 'WOW GIVE ALL THE PCS' good.)

 

[readernick]

Her second lutz was UR. It is being reviewed. I feel the TES will go down. But, we will see.

 

[Danny T]

The second lutz confirmed UR. Panel only reviewed that plus the flip though, they do want her to win

 

[Danny T]

They do want her to win, but it wasn't quite enough. Wow, by a hair's breath

 

[draqq]

Into second place by just .42 points! Drams!

 

[MaiKatze]

Like I said...very close. Correct though, imho.

 

[GGFan]

Rika in first is the right call. Happy Satoko is going to Worlds!

 

[Metis]

They do want her to win, but it wasn't quite enough

I thought they just wanted to guarantee she was on the podium. Second is still up for grabs.

 

[Noxchild]

I see that JFed too, likes drama...

Oh my that 2F could be crucial for the podium. She is not gonna beat Rika with this, but I wonder if she is gonna be ahead of Mai!
TES: 71.49, PCS: 75.09, TSS: 146.58 (3), TCS: 223.34 (2)
Ooof that was much close to Kihira than what I thought it should have been. Her PCS were stellar (as they should always be) today

 

[MaiKatze]

Ohh..Kaori is nervous....

 

[rikaquegira]

WOW, now that's what I call CLOSE!!! So close!!!!

- - - Updated - - -

I want Kaori to podium so bad! :sad21:

 

[madison]

They do want her to win, but it wasn't quite enough. Wow, by a hair's breath

Why do they want Sotoko to win? Rika has potential to win Worlds and Mai is so consistent, can medal.
Sotoko will depend on the panel if she gets or not the calls.

 

[Metis]

I am in fiery, unholy love with Kaori.

 

[yume]

Into second place by just .42 points! Drams!

Fortunately! Rika deserves to win.

 

[schizoanalyst]

Just a little off with everything today =/

 

[champs]

Observing huge improvement in Kaori's interpretative skill/musicality makes me sad that Mai's stagnating in that department. I feel the judges here sent a wrong message to Mai with their PCS marking.
