I just caught up!! I just finished watching the women’s free skate
I’m so happy for Yuna!! She is the Satoko of this era and I’m so glad she was able to do even better here, than what she did at Nationals.
I hope she realizes she is a gem and continues skating!! Love the loop combo and Euler flip and beautiful artistry
Also, good performance from Ami Nakai. I think she earned the second Teams slot over Mone. She handles tight situations better.
Mone…. She is too nervous of a skater when the pressure is on. Maybe, heading as Japans third best female skater to the Olympics will put less pressure on her, and she will shine as an underdog
Bradie

bravo
4th place behind the Japanese is an amazing accomplishment
I was sad for Gabby. She skated way worse here than at Nationals. Still, a 183 score is a SB. She has locked down a Skate Canada spot for next season, if she continues. My advice, leave out that 3Lz 3T. You don’t need it!!
Fee Ann!!!
She was robbed though…. She should have placed in the top ten, despite the popped flip. Her triples are so clean and high. She deserves +1 GOE higher from the judges on most of these jumping elements. Still, a 177 score is better than her 170+ skates at Challenge and Nationals. Love her so much!! She should work on her PCS more and please change her layout and stop having her go for that flip so late in the program.
SMD - Nice try!! She needs to focus more on the other triples. I was nervous seeing her jump so low. She has so much power on the 3A compared to the rest of her triples
Anyways, good showing for us Canadians here
