High Noon again. At least here in Europe, and a little late, but it's actually high noon.

Here is actually also high snow

I am cheering for Mihara Mai just because I loved her Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence programs to bits

 

[hermine17]

Go little Rena!

 

[cohkaix]

I was going to say that so far, Mone looked much better than Kaori in the warm up and then Kaori goes and throws that loop combo out of nowhere while leaving the ice.

She's been training it for some time already, but from a layout standpoint I don't know how beneficial it is

 

[elektra blue]

oh right, mechanism is the new black

Maybe it's backup if she misses a jump or two

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Voice overs are a no but the jumps are a yes

 

[ptvvibezz]

Trusova and bradie tribute in one program!!

 

[Dawn825]

Oooh well done

 

[Ichatdelune]

You can tell Uezono Rena is a junior (and a new one at that) but man can she jump

 

[brblja]

That 2A2A2T sequence had such amazing flow

Rena is technically fabulous, no nitpicks except she has a bit of a hammer toe on her flip and lutz. I would have liked to see a bit more performance, but she's just 13. She's got loads of time.

 

[elektra blue]

this is such a good season for Rena

 

[EdgeCall]

Marvelous. A little cautious and restrained, but marvelous!

Choke on it, Rinky!

 

[ptvvibezz]

I have a feeling she's gonna beat Mao
