She's always so hard on herself~

She should be. Her jumps are a total mess.

I mean I don’t think that’s really fair… she’s still a baby. It’s her first full junior season, she doesn’t need to be perfect, nor should it be expected of her

Her jumps look like that for 3 years already.

I mean she did have that hip (?) injury right before jwc and even though she did well there it did seem odd to me how quickly she recovered. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was re-injured unfortunately

I saw something almost like a mule-kick? and the jumps are rather labored. Perhaps it could also be the growing thing (but Rena is already quite tall for her age).

[tsuyoboogie]

I saw a very clear 'change-to-toe' spin from Sena. Forgot which spin that was, but very clear one. Nicely done.

Is that the coach 神崎範之 (Noriyuki Kanzaki)? His name is added to other skaters from Kinoshita Academy as coaches.

Yes, that's him! Thank you!
