Satoko Miyahara

True but their styles are very different and I'd worry about their consistency. Satoko and Yuzuru have similar mindsets and it feels like they'd be able to pull off anything. If Yuzuru throws her properly, with Satoko's speed of rotation she'd probably land throw quintuples. :biggrin: She also seems very light. They're also very good spinners and they have good skating skills.
Haha, that would be sooo great! :love: If only Yuzu liked to do pair numbers, lol! I think he said once he'd have a hard time to focus on both his skating and his partner's skating if he were to do a pair/dance number. Ah well, many (including me) are still hoping for an EX number with Satton, one day. :laugh:

He wouldn't say no to the tiny queen (and he wouldn't have to focus on her skating, she'd be the most reliable partner). Plus they do look like a pair team, both very slender.

(these are all made by me, they're very cute together :laugh:)
 
True, if she's not too shy to ask.^^ Ah well, you're right, I don't think either would say no if someone (Kenji?^^) proposed to create an EX together for a show.
Cute pictures/gif! (lol the 4th one with the same reaction :laugh:)
 
i want this pairing more than anything, would be dream come true! :love: i think what Yuzu said was sth like he likes to have all the attention to himself when he is on the ice rather than not being able to focus on his partner :laugh: but i really need it to happen for an ex number :sad14:

and i couldnt congratulate our Tiny Queen for her gold medal, CONGRATULATIONS SATTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you were awesome as always, i admit i was nervous for the 1st time while watching but it has nth to do with how awesome and reliable she is, silly me! :laugh: i dont want to get into the discussion about her TES, i find goe of her jumps high but i dont understand when some posters says "i like her but because of her small jumps i dont enjoy her skating" , while her jumps are small and some are prerotated (for her toe jumps, i think her edge jumps seem fine) everything else she does have amazing quality. we have to watch "big" jumpers execute ugly and slow spins and get fairly high GOEs and levels for them but there isnt this many discussion ; and spins took more time than jumps, 7 jumping passes take like 15 secs while 3 spins takes what? 35-40 secs minimum. i know everyone has their own taste and their favourite; and i understand if they dont like her "skating" but i dont understand not liking her "just" because of jumps and ignoring everything else :slink:

here are her performances with commentary

You're right, her edge jumps are good. People also complain about her weird flip technique (looking like a loop jump) but there are skaters who have gotten +GOE for mulekicks. I'm also laughing at people who say they can notice "the obvious prerotations" in real time. :hslap: She rotates so fast, her jumps look like a blur. There's no way to notice prerotations in real time. Whatever. IMHO, with the exception of Mao none of the ladies are so gifted at everything else. She doesn't rush through her program, she takes the time to interpret the music while executing the technical elements at the same time. She is only 17 but has the maturity of a seasoned skater.

i read some comments about how she isnt Kwan and Akiko&Carolina didnt get the scores she got and 1st thing came to my mind was "comparing her artistry is over for current field so they are comparing her with some of the greats? that could only mean sth good" :luv17: maybe i am naive and thats not what they mean but still :laugh:
 


I don't know what it is about those two together but it kills me every time. There's killing people with kindness and then there's killing people with cuteness and that's them to a T for me.

Considering that some skaters get PCS thrown at them like candy, I feel like Satoko gets lowballed in that area so if she gets GOEs on her jumps it evens out for me.

for me, that ship is built and ready to sail for a while now, and its not a small one :luv17:
Me too, lol, since last year WTT at least (still remembering how Yuzu cheered "Satton GANBAAA~!!" Lol that was funny, and I was wondering if the nickname Satton had any meaning in Japanese). I remember that before that, Satoko said she didn't know Yuzu much but hoped they'd get the chance to talk. Done and done, those rwo get along well now, really a cute sight (even cuter with Satoko being a bit shy around him still, but hey that's how our tiny queen is ;))

I remember that, it was, indeed, adorable. :love:

That's the dress she's been wearing at each banquet for quite sometimes. She must really like it, lol^^ I like Michael, it's funny how he's a bit of a fanboy around many skaters. Not that I blame him for that. ;)
 


Ahhhhh… Just :love::love:

my take on how this happened
a fan wanted to take picture of 2 of them but when they stood next to eachother Satoko disappeared from picture so Andrew picked her up :biggrin: ahhhhhhhhhhhh he is so handsome :luv17:

Do you remember Yamato lifted her when they did together at the summer show? Satoko is simply cute and tiny and best to be held. :drama:

Most of Japanese yuzu and mao fans like their ship and call them “yuzumao”(ゆづまお). Not only figure skate fans, but also Japanese media uses the term “yuzumao” in their articles or headlines(lol). About Satoko and yuzu, I’m wondering now what I should call the couple! :laugh:

New Yahoo Sports article: she talks about Kohei Uchimura, her goal of putting a 3-3 combination in the second half of the program, and practicing the 3A.

Interesting, thanks for the link! :) Kohei is a good example, that guy is talented and an Olymp champion (the fact that he's a fast rotating athlete reminds me of someone ;)). I suppose she'll try for 3-3 in second half in the next season? Or does she want to try at this year World? It would seem very risky to me if it's the later case.
More and more skaters are training 3A, it's great.^^ But once Satoko has had a few successful tries in practice, I trust she will not try it out in competition until she and her coaches are very sure she can land it. Alaine Chartrand tried it this GP season while it was obviously not ready and failed each time (but thanks goodness she decided to stop and trains it more).
