Why people are surprised Satoko getting 68 PCS? She's been getting 8s for years, which imo should've been 9s. She mostly recieved 9s when the 17-18 season (where its Olympic season and all other top skater PCS also rising...). Last season it went down to 8s and occasionally little bit of 9s in PE/IN. Its also early in the season and she made mistakes, it might rise throughout the season hopefully

It will rise for sure but judges will never give her what she deserves
, there is no reason for not giving her at leat 70 pcs in her first competition even when is a new program with some unders because she never stop performing and always has amazing skating skills. If only they scored objetively the programs with great analysis, but that will never happen until there are two panels scoring tecnical and components for separate and without corruption

Jack Gallagher reports she became unwell during the flight over to the US. Finally some news, even if vague. Hope she recovers quickly.

Fell in love with Marin’s lalaland even more, that dress is absolutely stunning. I guess I just like that shade of blue a lot, a lot of blue dresses seem so lovely to me. 
Oh, Marin, her jumps are making me very nervous, but more because I feel like something changed in her mentality in recent years. As if she has lost a lot of confidence... I don’t know if training with Rafael has helped in the time she was off competition, I’m worried about the absence of significant changes. I really wanted her to have flip-loop combo this season, so that she could build on it next season.

For some reason I saw Marin Honda with more mental strenght, confidence and more engaged to her programs that at the start of last season, but her jumps are not still there she really needs to fix those unders and pops, sad because she haz amazing edges, interpretation, transitions and skating skills.

I actually think Marin's jumps are better than what we saw last season, and her performance ability continues to improve. Her movement has more varieties and her programs are full of choreography and transitions. I think her main issues is the height of her jumps, plus her jumps are fully integrated into the program; it seems she does not "prepare" for a jump to come. The fluidity in her skating and her speed are really a joy to watch, much more enjoyable than ladies on the podium.
Good to know that i'm not the ony one who thinks that there is an improvement from last season for Marin.

Her jumps and spins are getting better.
Rion has WD from JGP Egna.
So far it looks like Rino Matsuike will be the only JPN competitor. She has a good chance of making the podium again!
Moa is still listed as a sub.

Is sara Honda old enough for 2022? Heard she was training a 3A/quads before her coaching change

Rino Matsuike was 3rd in jgp Riga right? Her score there was pretty good I believe, 190+. So, if she is 2nd at the last jgp this week in Italy, can she make it to the Final ahead of Viktoria Vasilieva? That’d be pretty cool I think , to have skaters from Japan, Korea, US, and Russia at the Final. So I guess I’ll root for Rino this week. Is anyone in her way of her getting a silver medal?

No, sadly she isn't. Sara will become eligible for seniors during the 22/23 season, right after the Olympics.
