Who else will skate on SIA?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh Shae or Wakaba must read in my thoughts!!!
Yesterday i was listening this Sia's song and i wanted to say in the dream program thread that "bird set free" would be a cool choice for Wakaba. This song is totally her. But i wasn't sure that it suits figure skating. If Shae did a choreo on that it means that it is.

Marin keeps her SP https://mobile.twitter.com/figureskatingm1/status/1122091506460794880
Glad to see Wakaba will likely get two GP spots!!

Yes, Rino MATSUIKE.
To me, the saddest part of that list was the omission of Rika Hongo, coupled with the fact that absolutely nobody seemed to notice.
i feel sorry for Rika H., si was one of my favourite japanese ladies, but it's not a surprise given the terrible season she had
Yes, she has crashed so hard that she should be spoken of in the same breath as Yuka Nagai.
Which is sad because she has actually competed at a Grand Prix Final, something the likes of Mai Mihara and Mirai Nagasu have never accomplished.
I believe Rika recently gave an interview and promised to include quad and 3A in the first half of her FP next season, and another 3A in the second half.
Very ambitious, but you better deliver Rika!:agree:
No more pops please, Rika-chan, we've had enough of those this season
Ayaka Hosoda will compete next season and is training quads https://mobile.twitter.com/figureskatingm1/status/1124490892528668672
She will probably have at least a challenger assignement imo.
Wooooow!!! quads? Ayaka is ruining all stereotypes about figure skating.
Mastering 3A at 24, and now quads? I'm so shook, she's my star now.
