2025 World Championships Women's Short Program

That combo from Higuchi certainly looks more rotated than the one she did in practice this morning. Solid 3flip to follow.

That is outstanding from Wakaba, I need the judges to reward her... If she is not scoring well above 70 I will riot

 

[Skating91]

We have a new leader.

 

[EdgeCall]

Holy moly, Wakaba dished that one out like in her best of times. Awesome determination!

 

[labgoat]

Wow another standing O!

 

[Paulipau]

Yes Waka.

Just a banger of a stsq.

 

[auser]

Well executed skate from Wakaba!

 

[FlossieH]

Great skate from Higuchi. I would have her in first, but I suspect the judges won't.

 

[Ares]

Not too shabby from Wakaba.

 

[YuBluByMe]

I never rooted for Higuchi so hard. Great skate! That’s the best she skated this program. I look forward to her free.

 

[Seven Sisters]

The warrior queen, and I heard the audience scream during the step sequence.

A virtual standing O for you, Madame

 

[LazyFuzai]

Waaaakaaaaabaaaaaaaa
Glorious,powerful and mature.Killer face at her best.Only slightly weak ChCs.Should be first even tho prefer Alysa program.

 

[museksk8r]

Love Wakaba’s expression and attack! She showed a lot of passion out there! Bravo!!

 

[Ziotic]

We have a new leader.

If only…

 

[npavel]

that was better than Liu, the jumps were better to, and rotated

 

[Demandred]

Sensational Wakaba, I would put her in first. That step sequence is always a highlight this season.

 

[Arigato]

I have men's ski racing on my TV, women's skating on my computer screen, and now I have to go to the bathroom. Correction, they just flipped over to women's skating. NO TARA PLEASE.

 

[Skating91]

If Liu gets 33.78 PCS then Wakaba should be 35

Over here, "nip and tuck" means the same as "touch and go".

As it turned out, it wasn't. Kristen made it in just a couple of skaters later.

So glad she got through. I have a real soft spot for Kristen.

Wow, thank you for teaching me something new about British English! In America "nip and tuck" would refer to the surgery or perhaps to a project that is close to completion ("all it needs is a nip here and a tuck there").

 

[Jontor]

Great stuff Wakaba-san! Should be Liu level but probably won't be...
