1. 村 上 遥 奈 Haruna Murakami (Kinoshita Academy) JR 6th​

Dance Monkey, choreo by Cathy Reed

3Lz< (fall)

3S+3T
LSp3
StSq3
CCoSp4

SP: 53.13

National Champion Haruna Murakami now skates in a different discipline. She seemed a little tighter here than previous outings, she's normally a very consistent skater. Much like Hana Yoshida, this SP is very unique and fun and a breath of fresh air.

Satsuki Muramoto's presence in K&C is larger than skaters.

Shame about the fall on the 3Lz. Murakami’s SP was solid all year.

Good job not letting the mistake affect her too much.

How do you get it to play? I'm just getting a grey screen atm

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I hope Cathy Reed gets to choreograph more, she always picks out of the box music choices

Hmm, for me I was able to get a screen with a still image and a play button but I don’t know if it looks different with/without certain ad blockers

CCoSp4 (bidirectional spin!)

From a senior pairs champion to the Junior pairs champion this season. Sae's triple-triple has never been consistent, but she's a really wonderful skater. I love her bi-directional spins!

Go!! Yo!!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

My stream might be lagging behind a bit, Sae just finished her final spin

 

[hermine17]

Sae performed so well to the music! She looked like she was enjoying her nats debut.

[Ichatdelune]

So far lutzes have not been kind to the junior skaters

 

[RafaelAstro]

I will be very happy if nobody skates to "never enough"

Switched devices and got it to work, thanks

FSSp4
StSq4
CCoSp2V

SP: 55.09 (2nd)

Yo is just the most gloriously expressive skater, and she has fantastic knee bend and skating skills as well. Hopefully she can pull out a clean FS like she did at Junior Nats,

 

[Lamente Ariane]

It’s so confusing to see a program to music I strongly associate with another skater and then not see jumps in the same place
