Skaters on Team Japan

[mikaboo]

i am sad, both for Riona and Haruka, i really hope they will get at least 1 GP spot but chances seem really low :sad21:

Haruka is currently still 31st in WS so I think she could get a GP spot. I'm not sure about Riona at 45th. I'm concerned for my lovely headcase Yuka at 28th getting 2 spots. She skated at NHK exhibition in January so I hope she can be invited to NHK and get 2 spots. But more than anything, I hope she stops being a headcase

Me too. Actually, I have auntie feelings for all of the junior skaters :

I'm hoping that YunaA can do a 3T as a 2nd jump in her SP because she needs to do the 3Lo separately.

I think she has much potential. It feels like she will be a tremendous skater around 2018 Olympics...

His tears came from watching Yuki Nishino's final Nationals performance. I believe the scene is from this documentary, starting around 27:54. Actually, her "story" is shown in two parts. First part starts at about 14:40.

And thank you so much for sharing the MAD. Loved it!

There are similar MAD from the previous seasons. Just as touching and emotional as this one.

A surprise

Narumi Takahashi will make a pair with Ryo Shibata.

http://xxhuyuzero25.xsrv.jp/blog/2016/05/05/post-12416/

Ryo looks totally different from what I remember.

EDIT:

Sorry, this information has not been confirmed.

She should never have split with Tran--yes, I know, she did it for the Olympics. But still, she's been pretty much a mess ever since...

Mervin is such a great partner. I really look forward to the development of his partnership with Marissa Castelli. Narumi was really great with Mervin. I would think it was probably hard to give him up!
