Wow, Mako that was so good!!!!

Love this program for her, it's beautiful and really suits her.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Ahhh what a lovely program! Happy for Mako.

 

[lileychristie]

69.92!!! Well deserved Mako!

Nice score for Mako...I think she's been under the radar for a long time (but I'm not too crazy about her FS this season.)

 

[Isk]

Mako skated to She's Like the Swallow by Cara Dillon choreo by Akiko Suzuki (from Wiki).
It sounded like an English folk song, turns Cara Dillon is Northern Irish folk singer.

if anybody had Mako in top 5 i'll buy them a drink

Mana gives me retro comics

I don’t think JFed will send Mako to Worlds with current criteria but it’s nice to see her rewarded here.

I swung big and missed… put Yuna Aoki in top five iirc

 

[LazyFuzai]

Because of those black claws on her dress it looks like it should be agressive skate,but it is quite opposite.I don't know if i am fun of this

Wow what a great skate for Mana! I'm so happy for her!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Great fun performance by Mana! Looks like her jumps are under review though…

 

[elektra blue]

that was fun!

 

[cohkaix]

Nice job by Mana!

 

[lileychristie]

Well done Mana!!! I think that was the best she ever performed this SP.

Now that she's really selling it, can really appreciate Mihoko's choreo especially in the stsq

 

[EdgeCall]

The music is something of a mixed bag for me, but Mana performs the hell out of it. Nice finale!

I don’t think JFed will send Mako to Worlds with current criteria but it’s nice to see her rewarded here.

Mako would have to get minimums first. I guess she'll get a Senior B this season like Yuna Aoki did last season if she manages to stay high after the FS.

Such a shame there are no Challengers in the second half of the season for skaters who won't go to Championships to improve their SB scores or even just get one if they didn't compete at all in the first half of the season.

time for me to fly to Russia, see you there.

scotty, do your thing
