2021-22 Japanese Nationals: Women's SP

[RatedPG]

OK. Go Kaori

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Ugh, Kaori is just so good. She has such speed and flow. Her 3-3 is probably the best in the world in terms of height and distance.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I love Kaori but I am not emotionally prepared for Mai to come in 4th again

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Clean Kaori! (with maybe an unclear edge call on the Lutz?)
2A 3Lz(!?) CCoSp4 3F3T FCSp4 StSq4 LSp4

So far the top Women are doing so well!

 

[Beckaboomer]

Kaori wooooooooooo! It's been such a nice group of ladies!! I'd say that will put her in the lead. It was a lovely skate and I think she had more emotion in the step sequence than I've seen so far.

 

[RatedPG]

Wow! Kaori was brilliant and the only one to risk her combo as the last jump element. She should be in first place and by quite a bit.

One thing that bothers me about Kaori is that she loses concentration at the end of her program during her last spin. It is like she gets excited and wants to celebrate and then screws up the spin. It was marked a yellow. She needs to focus till the end of her program.

Happy Kaori is the best Kaori! <3

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Kaori skated faster than most of the men

 

[RatedPG]

Kaori is my favourite. But, 79+

 

[EdgeCall]

The killer group certainly delivered.

Please don't say that... She is always better in Free Program.

 

[rollerblade]

Is that low or high for JSF standards? I'm like jaded from watching the RusNats men getting pretty high score even with an invalid element lol.

 

[RatedPG]

Those top four were brilliant. Let’s see what Satoko and Rino can do. Also, I made a note to watch out for Rinko Watanabe as I thought she was the most talented senior skater from Regionals and Sectionals.

Please don't say that... She is always better in Free Program.

I really hope so, I want Mai to make the team more than anyone this year!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Kaori's PCS was a tad high imo, she can be a good performer but wasn't really projecting today. But her TES score is 100% deserved, and she should be in the lead.

High. In general I think the scores today are higher (at least more than the regional/sectional). *Not comparing to RusNats though, which I have no idea about.

 

[rollerblade]

Satton why? The steel blue dress with the mini drape was PERFECT!

There's still FP! I believe in Mai!
