No 3-3 and her layback seemed fairly simple (catchfoot not held long enough?), but much better than in Austria

SP: 35.03+25.64 = 60.77 (SB), 1/16

 

[ArcticMonkeys]

Wakaba had a much better skate this time

 

[Winnie_20]

She is such a joy to watch. :yay:

 

[inskate]

She's really shooting herself in the foot with this jump layout. Perhaps it would be the best for her to miss the GP and use that time to have a new SP choreographed... Or just go back to Beloved Czardas.

Yay for Wakaba! It is nice to see her happy with her performance despite missing the 3-3. She kept singling her attempts during the warm-up so I was quite worried.

Finally Wakaba is back. But I am still worried. She looked extremely nervous befor the Lutz and her take off was really uncontrolled. Hope her score gave her confidence for saturday. I am also not a fan of this SP.

And people were telling Diana has no chances winning.....

 

[yyyskate]

feel worried about Wakabby

 

[lyndichee]

Was her the 3T UR?

 

[Winnie_20]

Okay! Let this 1,2,3 be the result after the FS, please, and I'll be extremely happy.

not a fan of it either
but I do love her stsq

Was her the 3T UR?

Definitly. Slomo showed it was more than 1/4.

 

[yyyskate]

wakabby's performance is super

 

[lyndichee]

Definitly. Slomo showed it was more than 1/4.

Thanks!

I'm glad Diana seemed to be happy with her skate. I just don't like so many tanos in the program, had enough that last season.

 

[Totentanz]

Competition for the final 2 spots of JGPF is really exciting!! I think Marin's chances got stronger after her SP. There is no one who can possibly push her off the podium in the FS. The fight for the last spot will be among Wakaba and Diana. The winner takes it all!!

I've just noticed that scores are so close. There can be a nice surprise for Alisa, too. (If Marin jumps onto top of the podium I mean)

 

[invisiblespiral]

Wakabby sounds awesome. And I cannot warm up to Diana at all. Sorry.
