2024 Japanese Nationals - Women's FS

Hello, tsuyoboogie. Thank you so much for compiling these videos. I appreciate the hard work.
I'm very happy for Kaori, Mone and Wakaba qualifying for Worlds, but sad that Hana struggled and that Rinka didn't get picked for Four Continents.

Also given JSF is super frugal recently they may just sent Rino and Mako to 4CC... same coaching team so less people to send lol.

Did not know this....its sad cause they are obviously selling ticket and tv rights...Not here to spead gossip but there were apparantly bad things that just happened inside the USFS and if you know a US team member, ask them if they were cut back on the amount of money support they get from the USFS. The US I understand....Japan I dont.

This is the best possible way to present the vids to us. I sit on my ....errrr....the dogs' couch and All I need is my laptop mouse and a clip board with the starting orders and I can watch Japanese skating without commercials and commentary, from a perspective of a fan sitting in one seat (where the camera is) . On demand. If nature calls, all I have to do is pause. It is hard to express how much this means to us fans of Japanese skating. and of Japanese fans...I miss those I have had the pleasure to meet....those from the forum and those that travel many miles across oceans....

Wonder how many women's Free skates at Japan Nats have 10 season's best scores?
