2021 Japan Open

Intermission/ice resufacing at the moment

Coming up: women's competitions (FS of the season)

From the planned elements submitted, there will be 4 skaters attempting 3A: Wakaba, Mana, Rino, and Satoko

BTW, there will be NO TV broadcasting of JO this year. Since the competition is on live streaming (with no re-play), there's almost no possibility to have videos of this competitions later on.

Only if the JSF would use the same method to Live stream the Nationals at the end of the year (and also have Dr. T. Machida as the commentator), would it be perfect....

That was a beautifully landed 3A from Wakaba!

The PCS for the ladies so far are interesting.....
This isn't regionals, no need to be so strict judges.
That must the first fall since years for Mai.
I don't know if Yamada really thinks that Rino's 3A will be ready for nats but that was a strong skate. The usual Rino after the surprising mistakes at Gensan summer cup.
Surprised to see Satoko attempt 3A. PCS are low, judges....
Kaori not as solid as usual.
Team red wins in ladies segment.

Best TSS: Wakaba
Best TES: Mana
Best PCS: Kaori

CaOI LIVE streaming now....

I missed the beginning part of Mao Shimada...too bad about the fall of opening 4T.
On the other hand, Hana Yoshida landed 2 3A at the very beginning.

The Kinki blog next week will be interesting...

Thanks for all the info @cohkaix

The 2nd show of CaOI will go on live streaming soon.

(I thought the CaOI second show will be devoted to skaters' SP of the season. But it seemed some of them were already skating their SP during the 1st CaOI yesterday, so I'm kind of confused. We'll soon get to see if everyone will skate to their SPs today!)

Adding: yes, all the skaters will perform the SP of the season, except for the guest skaters/novice skaters.

@cohkaix if you happen to visit Weibo, did you come across Tomono's and/or Miyake's LPs? I think those are the only ones I didn't find.

@cohkaix if you happen to visit Weibo, did you come across Tomono's and/or Miyake's LPs? I think those are the only ones I didn't find.

As I do have a Weibo account, I'm using it less and less these days (I am getting into problems of logging in as it required additional identification methods which I prefer NOT to comply with). So I didn't check if there's any videos of their LPs.
