2025 Japanese Nationals - Women's SP

[auser]

Love you Kaori. Savoring your beautifully powerful skating while I still can see it.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Kao-chan, that was so moving and beautiful!

 

[freedomlover]

If you give Mone's lutz a call give her lutz a call too, tech panel. lmao

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Beautiful, Kaori I know, we'll see her again in Milan, but still, just thank you

 

[cocteautwin]

Kaori With all the pressure on her shoulders she was skating like a boss, determined and not letting anythong go. Amazing energy. I won't mind if they put her in the lead without triple axel. She's truly a mother skater.

 

[EdgeCall]

Skate royale.

 

[freedomlover]

Nonetheless, Kaori is skating like she wants to win again, and that is always a good mentality to go out to your last competitions.

 

[freedomlover]

They barely put her over Mao damn

 

[LazyFuzai]

Good to see her with such a smile on her face Working hard to improve still before Olympics.

Rino ganbaaaaaaa!!! I hope you're not as stressed as your mum over here

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Kaori!!! I'm sure JSF will give her 80, if not 81

That yellow box on her stsq though - tech panel, are you just looking for an excuse to rewatch Kaori's glorious edgework again

That's what I was trying to point out with Mao's reviews too
Like...why?

This program is so good and Rino is such an incredible skater. Outside of maybe Kaori, she has some of the best skating skills in the business. Jumps are fake, we're just watching her step sequence for five minutes and ignoring the other elements.

 

[cocteautwin]

Rino the gorgeous. I love this program so much. That flip landing was interesting.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Not perfect, but still such a beautiful skate. Elegance personified

 

[lileychristie]

Hey judges, that was clearly a lunge transition out of Rino's flip okay

 

[LazyFuzai]

Until i can watch this program as her performance i don't really care if it's clean,but would be nice to see this at least once in full potential

I agree, the fact that she didn't look sloppy or slow right after Kaori is a statement in itself

Let's go, Yuna

[YuBluByMe]

Thank you Aoki! That was a great way to end the competition.
