Give her all the love you can.

I cannot help but love her. She's absolutely adorable.

I'd vote for and Aussie GP in a heartbeat!

Indeed! Sometimes we get a Junior one

Also we were meant to have a 4 Continents a few years back, but alas COVID and lack of interest (?) scuppered that.

Wakaba went for 3A but fell, but that combo was lovely!

 

[moonvine]

I love you Wakaba but "Fix You"....why????

 

[Seven Sisters]

I was torn as to whether to try to stay up to watch a bit of this, but then I turned on the stream, and heard—Fix You.

That made the decision easy. Good night, folks! Catch you later

I cannot help but love her. She's absolutely adorable.

She should consider a POTO program. Her costume is perfect!

 

[EdgeCall]

Oh no!

Wakaba, what's wrong with you?

 

[anonymoose_au]

Wakaboss!!

That was some awesome redemption right there!

Although whoops choreo slide fall!

 

[Carol1]

I am not fan of Playcold, but this is Wakaba's strongest performance in a while and her speed and fantastic triple jumps are so invigorating. Too bad about the freak fall, but I pray she will move up regardless.

Amazing job, Wakaba!! One silly fall, and one totally acceptable fall on a very hard element, but the rest was fantastic. She is such a talented skater, and I'm so pleased that she's back! She has excellent skating skills, and I love the pop in her jumps.

 

[moonvine]

wasn't that the fault of the fucks at the ISU, though?

I thought Australia had nowhere to hold it. But I could be wrong. I often am.

Ugh, this song sucks! It’s like the singer just decided to sing right after getting out if bed or something. His voice is putting me to sleep. With that being said, that was a good skate by Higuchi other than the ignit fall in the choreo. She should move up quite a bit.

I also have a Mr Daniel O'Shea. They are littermates.

The scores in the box was 67 when Wakaba finished but some underrotations were again visible.

If I didn't love the Shibs ice dancers so much I would be not amused in the strongest sense at them for possibly popularizing this noise for figure skating

Lana Del Rey, Beth Hart, Ed Sheeran, and whoever sings "In This Shirt" sound like they haven't left their bed in at least two decades, so skating to vocalists who sound like the are performing "right after getting out of bed" is a joy in comparison, in my humble opinion.

Weird to see Anastasia skate this early.

 

[4everchan]
