Just saw this in X, Miura and Kihara had WD-ed from the FS. Obviously, that's due to Rika's shoulder dislocation...
(Still, a smart move because that's not going to make any difference for them to get picked as the representative teams for Olympics)

Thanks for the update! I saw a Japanese sports news broadcast earlier today that showed the moment when Riku got injured during the six-minute warmup. It seemed like a fluke thing, but it was still very . I'm glad they're withdrawing and taking some time to heal before the Olympics...

Get better Riku, you have a medal to get soon

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Seems like whenever Riku and Ryuichi comes to Japan for Nationals some unfortunate circumstance befalls them
Maybe they could get a pass from any further Nationals while they continue to compete

 

[aerosuffly]

I know right. I think they had missing luggage and had no skates once right. There was also something else on another year.

 

[readernick]

Some scary lifts.. pretty good SBSs. He looks strong but I don't think they have their balance and timing down yet.

Her face during the lifts in slowmo makes them even scarier....

 

[sissy7]

The work Kinoshita Academy does to improove the paired disciplines in JP...

Keep working together and improving!

[readernick]

They are going to be on the podium in 2030 if they stay together and don't get injured. So talented.

I love this team! I’m thrilled that Japan has a great #2!

Love the audience response for Yuna Nagaoka / Sumitada Moriguchi. Fun to watch!

[YuBluByMe]

Oh shi….M/K better be on their game!

Edit: Oh. They withdrew.

 

[sissy7]

Sidenote: Savin is here instead of RusNats,does he not have any russian pairs, or is he that invested in YunaSumi?

 

[sissy7]

ITO MIDORI!!!
