2022-23 Japan National Championships - Women's SP

[Dawn825]

I'm loving all these otk boots on the coaches

 

[EdgeCall]

The elegance is still there but the jumps are not. Maybe ID really is a way forward for Marin. But anyway:

You did as well as you could, Marin...

Mad props to this girl for competing at nationals in both singles and pairs!

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Ughhh...my stream froze during Haruna and took awhile to come back

 

[zanadude]

That'll definitely be enough for her to skate on all four nights.

 

[yesterday]

I don't like the music, but she's impressive. Doing singles and pairs seems to be a pattern this season across countries.

 

[zanadude]

She should get style points for the fall, since it fits with the music.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Mako YAMASHITA

3Lzq (fall)
2A
SSp3
FCSp3
3Fq+2T
CCoSp4
StSq3

SP: 54.98 (8th)

Another one with so much potential, but just never quite able to put it together

 

[balabam]

Oh, Mako.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Dang...Mako's 3Lz takeoff was so nice! Too bad about the fall

...and my stream freeze again (it's my device, not FOD)

 

[Sai Bon]

Oh, Mako.

Not the skate she wanted, poor Mako. Coach Yamada being supportive in the K&C.

 

[yesterday]

Such a nice dress, something different in my eyes.

 

[zanadude]

You did as well as you could, Marin...

I'm surprised she's still with JAL. Must be like an ironclad 10 year contract or something.

Well, she'll never be number one again, but maybe someday she'll be numero Uno.

 

[Sai Bon]

Wow, I like Mone Chiba! Very mature for a 17-year-old, with a tasteful, low-key dress. Expressive step sequence and lovely, flowing moves. Gorgeous!

That was so good, Mone
