Trying to send all the good vibes I can to make her win, but no doubt she's able to do it!! My heart was broken with her finish at her first GP... Go Wakaba !!!
Unless Wakbaba lands all of her jumps, their PCS might be the same. Honestly I think her PCS might be even lower than Marin.
Even if I wasn't in awe of her FS, I do think her SP has great potential: for me she should receive great marks for it if she does the elements clean
In my opinion she should play it safe this time. Put the combo in the first half. It means no harm and her top priority is getting into the JGPF, not to risk it.Her SP has potential, but I'm still worried about the backloading of jumps in the second half :/. However if she begins to land everything more consistently, I hope the PCS mark improves I hope she can perform it well in croatia!
With the way she performed the exhibition version of her FS at a show in Japan (Prince Ice World I believe) in summer, I thought it had potential too. It looked more mature and sophisticated than what she has been doing before and certainly more so than her SP. The problem is, she doesn't perform at competition like she does in shows. It's like that with most skaters, of course. But there are skaters, also juniors, who are able not to give up on performing and expression completely while skating in competitions. Wakaba should try to learn that too. More easily said than done when you have to concentrate on executing elements, especially at this age, I know. But, as I said, there are skaters who can do that, so she should be able to do tha too if she really understood how important it is for her PCS.
She did well today but did not qualify
