Senior Women FS
Mana Kawabe

Junior Men FS
Hayato Okazaki
Though he participated as Junior in this competition, Hayato Okazaki will still be competing as Novice A this season

 

[RafaelAstro]

Mana is changing her technique, her jumps look better now, of course she is not going to be consistent right now but she is improving, I hope she is ready for the grand prix with the triple axel, great potential

 

[yesterday]

Hayatoooo
what a foggy rink there, but that adds to his dramatic programs
compared to a year ago -
he really is working hard on his backward triples and also lands them all (likes to step out but does not fall)
his spins and armography effort very much improved
and his "wooooah" at the end you can hear a big score that way!

so he won here, but idk how strong the competition was in general?
in a FS country like Japan it will be the right decision to stay in Novice altough he can beat lots of Juniors in like 80% of other countries with that.

how come the big gap in the FS after the gap to Omura in the SP (was that only the Lz?)

• 2023 Sapporo Cup Aug 25-27 <-- @tsuyoboogie are you going to follow this competition? If yes, I'll add this to the top list!

Decided not to follow these competitions since, that I'm aware of, livestreams nor live scoring will be available for either

It seems Sapporo Cup is allowing an audience so maybe some fans in attendance will "tweet" pbps and scores?
No mention if general spectators will be allowed for the Osaka competition

Notable entries for Sapporo Cup
Jr Men: Hiroto Hanai
Jr Women: Mayuko Oka, Ruka Miyamoto
Novice A Girls: Sara Hanai

Continuing from last weekend Tokyo Summer Figure Skating Competition will be holding Novice A and B events on Sunday 08.27
No livestream announced yet but FOD aired this competition last weekend so
I will be posting Novice FS Start Orders

 

[tsuyoboogie]

I apologize for the delay with the Kitakyushu Open Novice performances I promised to upload earlier in the week
I kept falling asleep before I had a chance to work on them
I'll try to have video available by tomorrow

how come the big gap in the FS after the gap to Omura in the SP (was that only the Lz?)

Hayato will remain Novice for one more season simply because he's not old enough to compete as a Junior in National Championship events
High level Novice A skaters often compete with Juniors in local summer competitions
I'm guessing the reason this is allowed is to give Novice skaters who could potentially be invited to participate in Junior Nationals the opportunity to compete a SP as well as a Junior layout FS in advance
This is only an assumption, I've never bothered to read the rules for competitions in which this exception is made

According to the protocols Kenta Omura led in the SP because his jumps (3T3T 3Lz 2A ) were basically clean where as Hayato's 3Lz was downgraded and he only jumped 3F2T (vs Omura's 3-3)
Didn't help that Hayato's Lutz and Flip edges were both called unclear (common for a lot of Japanese Novice and Junior Men)

No mention if general spectators will be allowed for the Osaka competition

I saw on Twitter that general spectators are allowed! Hitoshi Kurasawa (a Mainichi Shinbum figure skating journalist) is in Osaka, so I think he'll cover the event, too.
