2025 Japanese Nationals - Women's FS

[bartlebooth]

I'm happy that ex skaters such as Akiko Suzuki and Misha Ge turned into up-and-coming choreographers.

i love that they're all going for 3A this year

 

[elektra blue]

Me neither. And my mom is constantly saying things to me, having zero understanging of my current emotional state

they never do

 

[RatedPG]

Yuna and Wakaba are my favorites in this competition. Neither are really in competition for spots but I want them both to have skates they can be proud of....

They are both in contention for 4CC spots.

Mana has grown a lot artistically. Better upper body movement and musicality. Lots of questionable landings but I hope, as with Mako, that they send her to a challenger or two.

 

[cocteautwin]

Good fight from Mana, she looked very determined. Still some work to do with her jump technique but I think it was a good decision for her to work with mr Kagiyama.

 

[lileychristie]

Messy start from Mana but she managed to stabilised things in the 2nd half

Ouch in the replay her right ankle is rolled almost flat on that 3A landing, I hope it's not too painful

The step sequence was beautiful though and she sold it well!

 

[LazyFuzai]

Such a miserable first part,but she manage to work something out in 2nd.Still weak performance

 

[elektra blue]

Turando! Maria!

What a great skate for Maria! Her jumps were so clean on landing, which makes it easy for the judges to shower her with GOE. I loved her joy in her step sequence and she has such a fast layback spin! She's another one who deserves more international assignments. Her skating skills weren't as strong tonight as they were in the short and especially compared to some of the other women, hence her lower PCS score.

Oooo shit, I misjudged the time ans jut came back, at least I am in time for Wakaba

 

[YuBluByMe]

Yay! Egawa did the thing. I’ve always loved her layback spin. This was a good competition for her.

 

[rabidline]

A proper Turandot.

 

[lileychristie]

Aaaah Maria almost went clean other than that stepout on her final jump

That layback spin to finish, the speed WOW!!!! I think it's on par if not faster than Mao Shimada's signature Y spin

 

[Jumping_Bean]

So close to a clean skate for Maria, just a step-out. Send her to Challenge Cup, she deserves an international assignment.

 

[readernick]

Maria does not have the SS that Japan is known for but she does have some quite nice musical sensitivity and some great jumps this week!

 

[LazyFuzai]

Performance of the day so far.That was really good.Her jump technique is super unique.

 

[sissy7]

Ganba Wakaba!!!!
I need to reach for the tissues...

 

[RatedPG]

Maria - the best Japanese domestic skater that hasn’t seen an international assignment!!!

She just skated the best free skate. Lots of green reviews!!
