2020-21 Japanese Nationals: Ladies' Free Skate

[norwegianfairytale]

Just here in time to watch Mai, Kaori and Rika

Btw, I had to use Google Translate to get a grasp about the result page, and Rika is translated to "Ji Ping pearflower" in Norwegian

 

[elektra blue]

i have to go is there a way to chatch up with everything i missed? anyway see you around. love you all!

 

[MaiKatze]

Oh dear, that's a low fall in the standings...poor Mako....go little fairy, Mai....

 

[Yuzuruu]

it's a shame she could do so much better

Absolutely, I think she has good interpretion skills in her and her jumps are so powerful. She has so much potential!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Wow 10th harsh!

Oh wait is this the unfortunate Madam Butterfly...oh well the dress is pretty.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Oh phew it isn't!

Go Mai! She really does look like the emoji!

 

[readernick]

Mai seems like such a lovely girl. Her dress is lovely and this program is absolutely correct for her style of skating. But, man I am so bored. (Sorry, and I am glad there are a lot of people who love her... she deserves it)

 

[zanadude]

Argh...that double lutz will probably keep her off the podium.

 

[Skatefan15]

No, double lutz! I really don’t want her to be 4th again

 

[brens78]

Welcome back Mai

 

[Beckaboomer]

Mai is making me emotional...

This music suits her so well. Her skating is already so fairy-like. And the costume is on-the-nose but still gorgeous.

Ackkkkk a pop whyyyyyy?

I love her and I'm glad her comeback year has gone so well overall. I feel like her mistake took part of her concentration because she expressed the step sequence a little more at NHK. But overall it was still a lovely watch for me.

 

[Ichatdelune]

So usually in my books Mihara Mai is the "nice but not too memorable" skater, but I do love this program for her. It suits her extremely well and coupled with that adorable dress she truly is a fairy on ice

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Mai! Did! That!

One pop, but otherwise solid with 6 triples

Score: 134.10, 203.65, 3/22

 

[EdgeCall]

How nice that from every four-minute-program you can only watch three minutes before the stream breaks!

 

[Dr. Jenn]

That was a pretty solid skate by Mai, but I found the program very snoozy and one-note. She needs to work on her expression and performance qualities. I am really concerned by how incredibly frail she looks.

 

[flanker]

Came here just to express my admiration for Mai Mihara. brave, delicate, strong girl.

 

[Skatefan15]

With Mai’s tiny lead over Satoko and with Satoko’s fall... can she lead?

 

[Yuzuruu]

Mai is lovely but the program is really boring. Good effort though! Little miss consistency aparat from the one popped lutz.

 

[zanadude]

No, double lutz! I really don’t want her to be 4th again

Is 5th better?
