it is not a smart decision tbh. If she gets a call she could end up with something like a -2. With the new GOE system, a solid 3loop would benefit her more than a flip with a ! call.

The most she's gotten last season was ! and not always. Sometimes the flip was called clean and it received +GOE, so maybe she knows she can do it and thinks that it's worth the risk now that the loop has a lower base value. We'll see how it goes once she starts competing.

I think it’s more accurate to say that the approach to the flip entrance is almost flat (to prevent excessive curve and prerotation) and then after the 3turn or Mohawk and pick, the opposite blade should be on a shallow inside edge at take off.
Execution is more important thant BV nowadays (in most of cases). Wakaba can afford to not take the risk to put the 3F in SP. As long as she has not something like 3T-2T like combo she's fine. The other way to up her BV without 3F would be to do 2A/3lz/3lo-3lo. But that's unlikely.

I hope Tomoe wins a gold or silver medal
Great news. Yuhana and Tomoe are back <3
Wait! What??
I got the information during summer that Rin Nitaya is switching to Yamada/Higuchi group,
http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00013451.htm
but I totally didn't expect this:
So Yura Matsuda is now switching to Howa?
http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00013847.htm
No wonder she was getting choreography from J. Abbott, and her SP is by Akiko.
Are these two girls working on some kind of deal to make the switch with each other?

I'm confused about these coaching changes!
According to reports, Wakaba failed to land her jumps in the run through of her FS which was changed. "I had cramps in my right leg halfway though the program. My spins and other elements were good. I need to make some adjustments (before the competition." she said
Her FS dress also isn't ready yet so she'll be skating with her Hymne à l'Amour dress at ACI.
I'm so excited to finally see her & Rika compete today! :hap93:

Apparently Alina Zagitova will participate in Nebelhorn trophy instead of Ondrej Nepela. I'm really glad for her because it was very unfortunate with those dokument problems just before competition. But now chances for Mai Mihara to get gold medal there highly decreased I guess...I want and wish her to won her second Nebelhorn gold though!
Well, yes. Good for those who compete in Nepela though.

All of her jumps had problems so it just wasn't her day.
Well, I tried to look up a little, apparently before Yura joined Team Yamada/Higuchi in 14-15 season, she was training in Howa. She was coached by Mr. Nagakubo so it makes sense that Yura just returns to her former coaches. For Rin's case, it's quite unusual that Team Yamada would accept skaters at Sr. levels, but I guess as a student at ChukyoU she just gets in contact with both coaches quite easily. I could think of some possible pros and cons for the switch on both sides....
