2021-22 Japanese Nationals: Women's FS

Rika is here in the spirit of this Titanic program

The "Happy Titanic Performance" is becoming a trademark of Japanese ladies skaters moving on with their lives. First Miyu Nakasio, now Oba.

They said that her motivation for continuing was to perform this program at Nationals. She must have been on pins and needles waiting for the last performance to see if she could slide in...

To the very end too, since the last skater missed the FS cut and let Miyabi in. I would've loved to have been there when she found out she was going to free.

I think Miyabi used to try 3A, and she can do 2A-3L (not in the program). It's good she gets to skate the FS in the last season.

Marin looks stunning

 

[auser]

Oba looks so happy after her skate.

 

[RatedPG]

Wow! The 24th ranked skater landed two 2A 3Ts and already has a technical score in the mid 50’s.

Oba looks so happy after her skate

Miki Ando, her coach, looks happy, too！

 

[EdgeCall]

Poor Marin. What could have been.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Oooh, an Anastasia program!

 

[mirai4life]

Yuna is crying before skate?

 

[cohkaix]

What happened to Yuna? She's crying?

 

[lady_bee]

What happened to Yuna? She is one of my emotional favorites...

 

[cohkaix]

It seems Yuna is still in injury... that explains why.

I love seeing skaters happy after they finish the program

 

[elektra blue]

morning folks! happy Holidays

 

[cohkaix]

I think it's a good decision to switch to Higuchi/Yamada team for Nana.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

I love the variety of programs in Japan. Watching Russian Nationals yesterday, I was struck by how similar all of the short programs were to each other.

 

[RatedPG]

Nana was so good! I loved her performance. She won her sectional and it is nice to see her have a good free skate. She had a solid year. I hope this can move her up to top 12 placement.

Yes. I agree. The variety of coaches makes a difference. Everyone has their own style. Also, I’m enjoying the judging in this event so far. Wish they gave their skaters better PCS scores though.
