Go, Ikura!! (skating at Sr. level means you can make up for a missed jump...oh, no, I jinxed the girl...)

 

[elektra blue]

love Ikura's dress

 

[4everchan]

[EdgeCall]

Oh dear, crash fall.

 

[elektra blue]

I love her skating, she's tall but she makes good use of her lines and she has such great posture. I was hoping she could continue her success this season after her silver at Junior Nats but this was a rough skate for her

 

[EdgeCall]

Balletic, very elegant, wonderful flow but those jumps need to be landed. I hope she does in the future, she looks very promising.

Oh lord. Poor Ikura.

(Who forgot to leave snacks outside the rink for Rinky?)

Yes, Kinayu is related to Yuhana Yokoi, I think Yuhana came to this comp with her. She has so much speed and power in her jumps.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

I don't know what finally clicked for Kinayu this season, but she's been skating so well all season long. Well done Unsurprisingly, I love her.

 

[elektra blue]

not bad, just a stumble in the steps

 

[Sai Bon]

Hello everyone, I'm watching on qq! Happy I can hear the announcer and Kanako's commentary!

 

[hermine17]

Good job Kinayu! Yuhana must be proud of her little sis.

And now time for cherry on the dessert.Do we know if Hana/Mao/Rinka are all trying 3A today?

 

[4everchan]

nicely done... time for shower and deciding if i go straight to bed (very hard thing for me to do) or if I come back to figure skating.

 

[elektra blue]

And now time for cherry on the dessert.Do we know if Hana/Mao/Rinka are all trying 3A today?

Yes, yes, and on PPC but I doubt she'll go for it
