YunaSumi is on fire The sbs jump & throw were so good!!!

Great performance too, give them all the points judges!

Double-checking with my Japanese dictionary, that was actually "super unstable."

Nice skate!
I was so worried hearing Yuna was injured during practice but she held it together fabulously!

Constantly impressed by their lifts. Their spins could use some work

All pair teams did great job.
I wonder who is Ayumi and Lucas main coach? Do they train only in Japan?

FOD stream was being problematic again so I'm going to have to rerecord Pairs later

The stream better behave or the Men's FS...

Oh no, is Riku okay?? Amazing skate but she was in tears holding her left shoulder right after their ending pose. I hope it's not a dislocated shoulder

What a skate from RikuRyu! Fantastic. Is she ok?

Oh no, did Riku injure her shoulder?!
Maybe not...she's saying she was super nervous...but why?
I guess everyone gets Nationals jitters~

Yes, she looks to be in pain. Hopefully, it's not serious.

Amazing performance from RikuRyu!

But I just heard Riku say "super uneasy," I hope she's not hurt

Just caught up courtesy of tsuyoboogie (you are a star!). Amazing skate by RikuRyu considering that Riku's recently dislocated shoulder felt super unstable and she was worried it would go again during the performance. I don't know how she pulled it off. She was saying to Ryuichi afterwards that he will have to learn to pop the joint back in! Very impressed with YunaSumi's improvement and great to see Ayumi & Lucas are gaining confidence.
