Rika K, Alexandra Trusova but it was an EX so I do not know if it matters, it's just that I feel like I see a lot of it, but I can not wait to see her choreography, her dress is beautiful

AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhShae 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.

It would be pretty disappointing if she didn't. She's a recent WSMist.
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.

A feelgood article about the lovely Mai Mihara. She donated 31cm of hair in April 2018 and plans to do so again this year.
She learned about hair donation at high school and says: "Knowing that my hair can help others made it enjoyable for me to grow it long." Such a sweetheart... wishing her a great upcoming season!

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 actually loved her FS from 2016. But, I believe she also won a GP! Sadly, I remember her going to the GPF as an alternate (Gracie Gold withdrew) but it was a nice feat to do, and she was the only Japanese there (Satoko Miyahara didn’t make it)!

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

She said her success rate for 4S is 85%. This sounds awesome. I hope she has the same success rate in competition. 2 3A's and one quad in the free program would be insaaaaane(ly good
). I am so looking forward to Rika's new layout and programs.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.

Sara Honda (12), Marin's little sister, trying 3A and 4S on a harness. 3A needed less support from the rod than the 4S it looks like to me.

I wonder which musics will Yuna Shiraiwa use for her programs, I think she should use "notre dame de paris" again coz we only see that program two times and I think she performed so well with maturity as a junior, or maybe another classical/lyrical program?, and for the sp I think she should skate some funy program again, maybe keep her "get on board" program? XD I love it and she can do more clean performances but if not I would be so happy if she skates something like "the storm" from Havasi, love that piece, but I think a classical/lyrical program plus a funy/fast/modern program will help her to find her style and to show more variety. I will miss so much Rika's "Beautiful Storm" and Yuna's "Pictures at an exibition" :'(
She can be another Akiko Suzuki, a late bloomer who competed in her first major competition at 24yo and medaled at worlds at 26 yo.
Sure, the technical level is not the same but Ayaka has a big gun (3A) and is training another (quad). So with good performances and maybe with a bit luck (being at the right competition, with the right field, the right scoring, someone withdraws from a big comp, not that i wish that, etc.), she can bloom.
Since no one responded, I chose it irresponsibly.
Yuhana Yokoi will be Senior and likely Yuna Aoki too.
