2016 JGP Yokohama Ladies SP

[Interspectator]

Kaori's face when she landed...so cute!

 

[silverfoxes]

Marin might not even make the podium at this rate...

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

My prediction: Kaori to lead by a country mile. Or maybe even a few country miles!

Hope that isn't a jinx like it was for Marin...

Still confused with Mako's score....

 

[topaz emerald]

kaori got 65, big score deservedly

 

[Crossover]

Only 65? I think she should've gotten higher score like 68.

 

[largeman]

I was expecting a triple axel there...

 

[topaz emerald]

the thai girl's last name puts everyone else's last names to shame

 

[JuliaHols]

Oh man, I loved that Kaori! It was so exciting and she radiated joy, even before her big jumps. I m glad she's in first. Very deserved although I thought it should be higher. Oh I hope she can make the JGPF THIS year!
I loved Alisa's spins the most, Kaori's performance and jumps the best.

 

[Crossover]

Her appearance somewhat resembles Kanako's.

 

[topaz emerald]

good effort from promsan, girl looked nervous

I take it the "Na Phuket" is a reference to where her family is from, i.e. "Promsan RATTANADILOK from Phuket".

Sort of like what they do in some Arabic speaking countries. Using an example from Iraq, "Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti" translates as "Saddam Hussein from Tikrit".

Apologies for using this particular example. But, it was the first that came into my head.

Go Gabby!

I like Marin a lot, but can't help feel a bit of schadenfreude toward the arrogant people who kept acting like she was the only one with a chance to win here. ...

What? This is her home and she is a reigning JW champion, that's why many have predicted her to win although Marin is also known for making a lot of mistakes on her home. ... Nothing about arrogance. ...

Crossover, perhaps you missed the arrogant posts to which silverfoxes is referring.
I saw several that were quite arrogant. (And I like Marin as well.)

(Obviously not Marin's fault that some of her fans are arrogant.)

 

[topaz emerald]

madeleine from norway....lovely music, love love "a thousand years" by christina perri....so far, she has the best music. too bad about the jumps.

 

[Crossover]

It is still puzzling why Ashley Kim is not competing here. The latter events of the JGP series get to have harder and harder in terms of line-up.

 

[sunnystars]

So much Papa Can You Hear Me this season...

 

[largeman]

That was absolutely beautiful from Gabrielle

 

[Mrs. P]

Despite the error, I really enjoyed that skate from Gabrielle. It's good she's getting some internationals experience.

 

[frida80]

Shame about the combo. Good score in any case.
