on a shallow note - I love her hair:yay:

I simply adored her today's skate.
She looked there like seasoned champion, landing jump after jump with confident smile on her face. It was really amazing performance from 14yo. Star is born? :shocked:

Here is a copy of Marin's magnificent finish to the Grand Prix series. What a way to close with a bang. This is the best freeskate I have seen in Juniors all season full of charming grace, sophistication, great musical and artistic interpretation with many changes in moods to match the unusual music. Symmetrical air position, with a wonderful flair of the arms on exit to her beautiful jumps, flexible and elegant Biellmann and the best illusion spins I have seen this Junior season timed to fit the rhythm of the music. In terms of performance, interpretation and emotional resonance, I think Marin is unmatched in Juniors. I felt it must have been a bit bittersweet for her because she seemed a bit upset about Wakaba's reaction, but it seemed like it was because she sympathized with her. Nice to see that they comforted each other.

:yes:
She left me stunned today. Started watching rooting for her from other reasons and she dragged me into her performance and enchanted me completely. That skate was something else indeed.

I like Marin's programs this season. Good luck at the JGPF!

I love both of Marin's programs this season and I was hoping she'd skate a clean FS when there is a camera around. I wasn't expecting it so soon though so what a nice surprise. Congratulations on the win and good luck at Barcelona. Her coaches are going to be so busy this season with Satoko, Mariko, YunaS and Marin!

I don't think this video has been posted here. It's a documentary about the Honda siblings that was aired in March.

I hope Marin can podium at the finals

If she performs her FS like she did in Croatia, she might have a chance!!

Good luck her at the JPGF!

Congratulations Marin for winning gold at Zagreb (Seeing Wakaba crying on the podium so much that was a bit heartbreaking though, but the tears would make her stronger.)
Seems that Marin was able to adjust the program so well now, really impressive with such improvement. Hope she does well again at the finals!


Here are some photos of Marin (and her coach Yamato).

Good luck her at the JPGF!

Besides it being a fabulous performance, I think the reason Marin's SP has been getting a lot of viewings is because it was introduced on Yahoo Japan's video topics as "Miyu Honda's sister's performance" so a lot of non-skating fans would have clicked on it also.

Wow, didn't think she would go clean since she was skating last. However she looked really calm and confident. Hope she does well in JGPF too!

I watched the medal ceremony yesterday and it was very bittersweet to watch Marin enjoy her win while comforting Wakaba. It is similar to Javi and Yuzu at Worlds, nice parallel there (regarding the friendship between #1 and #2, not the amount of tears!).

The Croatia Cup Logo already looks kind of childish... But to have it on the medal too...

This was shown on sports news last night. TV crew followed Marin during her summer training in the US and showed her getting choreographed by Marina Zueva (4:45-).
