Wow those spins!

 

[momrk]

As wonderful as I expected!! Yay Mao!!!

 

[RatedPG]

Wow! Mao Shimada!
This deserves 70+ score. She really is a phenom!

 

[CoyoteChris]

Winner

Mao. Great costume that fits her program perfectly. Fantastic skate. All greens.

Okay, I can relax now. Both Nakai and Little Mao did more than fine. Strangely I feel that Nakai improved on performance while Mao got more mechanical. Her best performance of that program was at her first JGP. Still, well done!

We still have one group? what a night

 

[CoyoteChris]

Go Clare, Go Jia!

I usually care about placements not scores but I want Jia to score 70+

 

[RatedPG]

I’m disappointed with Kaiya’s score
Really thought she’d be in 6th place instead of 7th place. I hope she is able to skate in the penultimate group.

I think she can do it. But, she needs to backload her combo.

Why is Jade here? I thought Nina P would be here.

Also, I wonder how they will score the older higher ranked ladies like Kimmy and N. Petrokina

Two of my close friends are attending this event, sitting in the front row. They just told me that Platonova is sitting right behind them and they asked where she bought her jacket and brooch. I am seething with jealousy.

Nina will be at Worlds. With Jade and Loena.

Nina will be at Worlds. With Jade and Loena.

But, wouldn’t she do better here than Jade? I would have sent Nina here and then all three for Senior Worlds.

Last year the Belgian Federation almost didn't bother to sign Loena up for worlds.
This year they will send THREE girls!

Maybe she beat her at Nationals or so.

Didn't bother?
Wasn't that when Loena was slightly injured?

It's great that all of them were able to qualify. When I saw Belgium was allowed 3 entries, I thought "Yeah, right. I don't think they have three skaters in the entire country." It's nice to see I was wrong, and good for Belgium.
