2018 Skate America Ladies Short Program

[twirlingblades]

Best 3-3 I've seen her do in a while.

Tiny queen :luv17: so beautiful

 

[SnowWhite]

She'll be in first if the jumps are called clean.

Wow... I have goose bumps. I loved every single thing about that. So beautiful, so graceful, so musical, so superior in every sense of the word.

Sorry.. I only wax poetically for Shoma and Satoko.

Oh yes..and beautiful dress.

 

[CellarDweller]

Wonderful short program! First place for sure!!!

 

[Kings]

That last spin was fantastic!

Maybe some of us are getting paranoid cause of the tech panel.

Lol, this forum right now

Bent arms overhead during jumps: 0 [none attempted]

Camera zoomed well in on that 3Lz3T and I'm not sure the lutz is around.

Satoko skates very elegantly and gracefully but I think I would like her more if she skated with more abandon.

 

[Colonel Green]

I was watching her skates on every jump, didn't see any snow being kicked up. Did she make it round all the way?

On components, nobody else here comes close to her.

That was certainly the best 3-3 I've seen from Miyahara Satoko this season. If she's not called UR then she'll be first for sure.

Satoko That step sequence was so special

I really loved this program of Satoko's, and I really want her to lead, but I think her 2A was under.

 

[Elaine]

This program is amazing. Wow.
Has she grown up a bit? How old is she? She look taller than before!

I love Satoko’s SP, she skates it beautifully.

Her Tech went as high as 40.99, let’s see where it settles.

Go Satoko!!

 

[Wilwarin]

Don't know why but in less than 30 seconds I began to cry.

Lol, this forum right now

Where do you find these?! So appropriate for every situation.

Satoko's spiral! Love me a nice spiral.

 

[Ziotic]

I’d call the 3Lz and 3F...and they called neither.

Well, that was a spellbinding performance from Sakamoto. I love how the program builds momentum along with the music until the last spin that ends with a crescendo to the Biellmann position. Her ability to change spin positions with the music is extraordinary.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Well that was just gorgeous and MOVING. I was genuinely moved by that - she's so musical and expressive.

Also, the drapery on the back of her costume is first rate. Even the Project Runway judges would applaud it.
