I'm so so so happy for Mai.

Now it's your turn Mao-sama.

 

[EdgeCall]

Looks like Mai should be in full form for Worlds

The next to be included in the like menu should be a praying emoji.

CCoSp4

SP: 65.23 (4th)

It's been so fun to see Mao grow into her programs and improve as a performer and competitor. Her 3A not getting reviewed is such a boss move, her technical elements are just insanely good. The Lutz has been giving her issues this season, although I have a feeling it's more of a mental block than physical. In this case, I think it's good she still has a few more years in junior because she's learning how to fall and get back up and perform.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Very unfortunate and costly fall. It looks like she overcooked the lutz. Shimada was on a roll until then with a landed 3A as the first jumping pass.

 

[LazyFuzai]

That 3A .As a dress lover i still think it may be the best costume this season.Perfect for this music.Kinda sad to see her fall...

 

[triplelutzzzzz]

that was a wonderful 3A. mao's tech ability is just off the charts. the falls are too bad, looks like it shook her a bit, but i can't wait to see where she goes as she progresses into seniors <3

 

[npavel]

starting with a magnigic 3A and than fall on the 3Lz combo. I was starting to write how much I like Mao and than
Anyway I love this program and hope she will get it don in the free.

[EdgeCall]

Pop.

Struggling with the combo.

What a pity. I was hoping for so much more.

Why does Rion always struggle with her SP axels

 

[YuBluByMe]

Oh Sumiyoshi….long sigh.

 

[Isk]

Wow, that was a looong twizzle in Rion's step sequence. Does the yellow box mean the elements for review?

 

[LazyFuzai]

Wow.Such a disappointment.Her legs looks like were made from cottonwoll.Out of podium already

 

[triplelutzzzzz]

that was definitely rough for Rion but she pulled through and did her best to give a good ending. i hope the free skate is a bit better for her <3

 

[lileychristie]

Rino ganbaaaaaa

I was still half asleep and in a panic when I read your post
