Just realized my schedule for the Novice A Men's (boys') event was way off
I thought it was supposed to be over at 3:15am my time and it's already almost 4:30am with still another group to skate...

Definitely no SkAm Men's practice for me today~
I'll be lucky if I even make it to the actual competition

I just want to go to sleep

Are the Novice B skaters younger than the Novice A ones?

Are the Novice B skaters younger than the Novice A ones?

Novice A: Born between July 1, 2011 & June 30, 2013 (required test level: boy 4, girl 6)
Novice B: Born between July 1, 2013 & June 30, 2015 (required test level: boy 3, girl 5)

Thank you so much for the videos, tsuyoboogie.

Sumika looks much taller than a year ago, but it doesn’t seem to affect her jumps. I wonder if she’ll get a jgp spot next year. . .

Karin also continues to be impressive. She might be quite difficult to beat for the novice A title next year.

Miku has improved a lot since last year.

I’m sad about how Megumi’s program ended. She’s such a lovely skater. We should still get to see her later this season at the jr high nats.

Like others on this thread, I also couldn’t help but notice the lack of triples for the Novice B girls. Otoh, I feel that this year’s Novice B girls seem unusually strong in spins and presentation? Anyway, they were so cute and adorable and charming, and I hope the coaches will take good care of them.

Novice B: Born between July 1, 2013 & June 30, 2015 (required test level: boy 3, girl 5)

Ah, so it's similar to Russia's older/younger age thing. I'll have to watch more of these programs later, but I randomly watched Kaho Koseki and really liked her!

Aaaaaah, I love him!

My angel was just bested by a cat

Which one is an angel? Yoshino?

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Which one is an angel? Yoshino?

In my eyes, most definitely

Hanaha Takeshima	LYS INKARAMI

I knew as long as Sakuma, Yoshino and Hidaka placed within Top 4 they would be recommended to participate in Junior Nats
Good for Taiga Hara placing 3rd
Had he placed 4th behind Hidaka he would've likely not have been invited

 

[n1co]

In my eyes, most definitely
