Nice hand detail on the layback spin for Wakaba.

Rino was so close still I think she's in the best form of her life and I really hope she can challenge in the free.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Another rough skate

 

[LazyFuzai]

Knee slide everyone can accept + this choreo is great.

[lileychristie]

Here I thought Rino is on her way back up

Judges, what was that level 2 change foot spin!?

 

[triplelutzzzzz]

well done to Rino! that was a rough fall and a few stumbles here and there but she picked herself back up with a lot of grace and kept up the energy. i still have mixed feelings on the dress but it is growing on me! best of luck to the last few skaters, but there's no way i'm making it. i'm tired lol. have a good night y'all!

 

[Isk]

Knee slide everyone can accept + this choreo is great.

And a nicer music cut than what Daniil Gleihengaus did for Daria Usacheva.
