I will try to make some reports while I'm there, but I'm always a bit "sporadic" and a bit slow (I don't usually carry an internet-enabled device around with me, so it has to wait til I get back to the hotel in the evenings...)
Yes, I'm hoping to get some good photos... with any luck I can sit on the judges' side at Challenge Cup, to get different angles than I got at Lombardia (where everyone had to sit opposite the judges). I'll also try to be in a different position to where I'll be sitting at World's in Milan. Then hopefully I can end the season with photos of Wakaba's programs, taken from 3 very different angles :-D
Wakaba's skating is big alright! Especially with these programs - she really "projects" and fills the rink. And the music when you're at the rink in person, is very different to what you hear on TV/youtube... much more dynamics, frequency range, impact, drama... it adds a lot to the feelings you get from the programs...
She's not the fastest in the world, but she IS fast... don't believe anyone who says otherwise! :-D
We'll see how the Olympics go
I've seen many of my favorite skaters live, but I have unfortunately never seen Wakaba in person. I'm curious to see how big her skating is since it comes across so well on TV.
.waka good luck
