Shame about the fluke fall, but Niina kept it together. Imo, this is one of the better Dune programs.

Definitely not my favorite Dune of the season, that's still Olivia's ...sorry..

But, I do love Niina's commitment to performance even when things go wrong.. Better than the SP

 

[Sai Bon]

you're capable of much better skates, but mama is proud of you nonetheless

That's the kind of mama we all want

Niina. Pretty dress. Good program. A really good skate.

Pity about the fall during the steps, it was otherwise a good skate

Satoko says she once wanted to perform to this piece.

thanks the gods she didn't

 

[Vemvane]

A much better skate for Niina today! Big 3Lz, lots of speed going into her opening jumps, a little less power in the second half, but she really attacked the programme throughout. I liked the jerky arm movement with the music on her spiral in the choreo sequence. The design on her dress is interesting, it gives me the impression of a palm tree.

Nice to see that weird fall did not upset her.

 

[TallyT]

Was it rafters?

@anonymoose_au suggested gulls... I hope no one in the audience is eating chips.

mine too, followed by Wakaba's. i'm already tired of all these Dunes btw

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Huh, this seems low for Niina, even with some underrotations.


Lindsay, one of my sentimental favourites!

Gorgeous dress after gorgeous dress after gorgeous dress.... my eyes are very appreciative.

 

[Sai Bon]

Gunnels! (Sorry, nerdy linguist here)

Ohh!! Movement!

Truly. The first time I saw Olivia's I was impressed despite the issues on the elements, but each additional Dune has impressed me less and less...can we please be more creative

Lindsay's program is nice....hope she skates it well

I see Satoko's start as a commentator has been fun lol.
