2016 Japan Open

Eclair · Sep 29, 2016

On the Japan Open Website there're pictures of he participants, but they show Marin Hondo as Japan's second ladies skater instead of Wakaba - is that a mistake or did they switch Marin for Wakaba?

I see Wakaba and Satoko both on the home page and on the skater page:

Do not see any sign of Marin.

Oh my. With that pink dress and I mistook Wakaba for Marin. :palmf:

I'm so sorry. Today definetly isn't my day. First I thought Hanyu's sp was today, and now this.

There is an exhibition called "Carnival On Ice" to be held just after the Japan Open by participating skaters from 7 pm at the same venue. Marin Honda has just been added as a guest skater. Other big names among guest skaters are Gabriella Papadakis and Daisuke Takahashi.

Thank you sailormoon for this excellent news :yahoo:

. I still miss seeing Dai in competitions. I will be on the lookout for Dai videos from this event :luv17:.

Maybe some of the skaters will use the exhibition as a chance to debut short programs? Ashley?

With 270 degree of pre-rotation. He has not improved the take off at all.

Honestly, even more than the competition itself, it's the debut of Takahashi/Shibata pair at CaOI that I'm most curious and excited about. Best of luck to them!

Looks like Ashley will do that, Adam's instagram showed Ashley in the background running through her SP!
