Hmm...that seems a bit high for Clare considering she had by far the least tech presented.

 

[shan22044]

This is definitely a mauled by a winter beast outfit.

 

[labgoat]

Mana is really attacking her choreography

 

[tsuyoboogie]

GOOD GIRL MANA!!!
Nice recovery with the combo!

 

[YuBluByMe]

Great step sequence from Kawabe.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Mana fought for that lutz landing

 

[Lamente Ariane]

This has a lot of quirky potential for Mana ((though my mom will hate it) but she needs to sell the first half more. Probably will when her jumps are more reliable.

 

[Jontor]

Wow Mana-san! To get that combo out the second time around was pure grit.

 

[FlossieH]

Good recovery after the mistake on the Lutz

 

[Dawn825]

The music did nothing for me. And both the flip and the Lutz were 2 footed. But I love her speed and energy.

 

[CellarDweller]

This is definitely a mauled by a winter beast outfit.

Mana. Pretty blue dress. This was an interesting program and a good skate.

That woman is a prominent poster on another figure skating board. I've met her several times and she is a wonderful person, friends with many of the skaters. I have no comment on the cold shoulder look.

And many rinks arent that cold anymore. I trained at 2 diff rinks that actually were warm. They have heaters above the seats for these events.

 

[RatedPG]

Very strange program for Mana. Love that she has triple flip triple toe combo, as a back up. Should find herself in the final group with this skate. Good job

When I saw Mana Kawabe was skating to "Lick It," I expected something more vulgar and was prepared to turn my hearing aids. I still disliked the music, but it did offend me. Her 2A was excellent as well.

 

[lileychristie]

Mana seemed very nervous in the beginning, but really great effort being able to put +3T on the flip in the second half

Music cut is at least not as chaotic as some other Mihoko's work And the stsq chore was great!

 

[lady_bee]

Mana, good recovery!
I love Mihoko Higuchi's choreography.
