THE FLOWER CROWN Kinayu has great musicality and skating skills, but the jumps int he first half were just not there for her today. She recovered very nicely in the second half.

Everyone who spreads flower crown joy has warm spot in my heart! I will need to catch Kinayu's performance later and see the flower crown!
JNats threads are some of my favourite every year thanks to group of great posters - thank you!
Best luck to all ladies yet to perform their FS!

Ok, this red glove, I'm getting used to it.
Like for Daria Boyarintseva's leg

Hana did well enough to take the lead but left some room to be surpassed by upcoming skaters

oh Hana... not the lay-it-down skate she had at the Final... this will make the Worlds team very interesting. It wasn't a complete disaster, so I think a body for work argument could easily be made depending on how the skaters above her do.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Yoshida Hana asked, Axel Paulsen said no

 

[LazyFuzai]

It's really difficult and not pleasant to watch for now... even tho i love that STSq from Hana it's still more Choreo than steps

 

[skim1001]

if Hana doesn't make the world team, she'll most likely be sent to JWC

 

[YuBluByMe]

That was a mixed skate. Singled the 3A and there were other mistakes, but the step sequence was good.

 

[Sai Bon]

Goooo Rinka!!!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Zebra print? Oh nvm

 

[tsuyoboogie]

I see so many figure skating "commentators" say they don't get Hana's FS
What are they not seeing? The program is freakin' brilliant and she delivers the choreo/story so well

 

[Isk]

Rough start for Hana, but she held on. I bit of a heavy skate today.

 

[ptvvibezz]

Go Rinka!! Put it all on the ice

 

[cohkaix]

Go Rinka!!

 

[Dawn825]

Hana rlly needs Mao to medal I think
