2024 Japanese Nationals - Women's FS

[rabidline]

Hm. Tough skate... tough jumps.....

 

[lileychristie]

Yeah the carrots and the overall performance quality from Kaoruko got her I think. But should be enough for Jr Worlds...?

I think she's been safe since her JNats and JGPF, as she consistently placed silver just below Mao

Not perfect, but good fight from Hana.

The composition and musicality is just beautiful to me coupled with the lyrics. I get chills. The fist to the ice is so good. Fave program of the season I think.

 

[RatedPG]

Hana!! I don’t know where to place her.
Can be anywhere from first to third right now!!

Also, nervous for Saki Miyake. The best skater from Japan that never competes internationally. Her jumps are huge. I hope she places top ten at this Nationals to breakthrough. Kaori needs someone else from her camp competing internationally with her

Some rough jumps from Hana. I like this program but this definitely was not her best skate

 

[lileychristie]

Great fight from Hana!

Another clean(ish) skate tonight, the queens are determined to show the boys how it's done

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Saki-chan GANBA!

 

[rabidline]

Yeah would be where I put her too. Just doesn't quite cut it especially after Mako's SS and Rinka's better 3A.

 

[lileychristie]

GO SAKIIIII!!! GANBAAAAA

 

[rabidline]

Very superficial opinion: I loooooooooove Saki's bangs. So coquettish <3

please don't...some of us are in pain here

 

[rabidline]

Saki - physically isn't quite at the level of the international (or have previously competed internationally) competitors but I love her attention to detail... come on!

 

[rabidline]

Oh I just LOVE her arms and hands throughout. And yesss sell it girl!!!!

 

[elektra blue]

interesting girl! so different! and she was solit and entertaining

 

[lileychristie]

Wow Sakiii!!! Love both her programs this season

The last spin on the music!! And the StSq, amazing speed & musicality! Why only got lv 2 though

 

[kevinVchicago]

Her music takes an exciting turn in the middle.

 

[triplelutzzzzz]

Wow! Very pretty program! Gotta say I disagree with the StSq level. A 2??
Amazing skate from Saki!

 

[rabidline]

Always happy to see skaters reminding me why JNats is my absolute favorite competition since I have become a fan.... Saki's one of them...

 

[RatedPG]

Saki!! Should be getting higher GOEs for her triples. I don’t think this will be enough as I think she won’t pass 130 with this free skate. Around 125 is what I predict

Okay…. Time for Rion!! Good chance for her to nab at least a 4CC spot

 

[lileychristie]

please don't...some of us are in pain here

Ouch I'm sorry, I didn't mean to rub your pain at all!! I'm just so glad the women are having a much better time tonight.

I'm sad for Kao and Shun and the rest too, I hope they can rest and heal, both physically and mentally
