2017 GP NHK Ladies FS

[Sam-Skwantch]

It’s too bad that interpretation isn’t worth more than jumps. She’s fighting though. I think we’ve all missed Satoko’s magic!

 

[Icey]

why do they come back when an injury is still in play

 

[EdgeCall]

This is far too beautiful to be kept out of the Olympics.

 

[schizoanalyst]

Great musicality and timing on the jumps (even if I'd like more lift). Lovely extension on a spirals and layback! I love the dramatic flair of the program. Hope her tech content is together by nationals!

 

[college pat]

not her night, still rusty, and coming back from injury. i missed it too.

 

[Interspectator]

Welcome Back Satoko! Not perfect, but much better than I feared. Her attention to detail in her programs is a gift to skating. :luv17:

 

[xeyra]

That was so lovely. And that layback.

 

[Leonardo]

Satoko can't jump to save her life but that was beautiful and breathtaking

 

[brens78]

Ok, Satoko's performance wasn't clean but it has huge potential to be a masterpiece!!! Welcome back Tiny Queen!

 

[yoloaxel]

Too bad about the missed jumps but that spin at the end was to die for!

 

[dailytg20]

Too bad about the jumping. I just love her spins though. Takes me back to the era of baby ballerinas.

 

[Mirunna]

Was her 3Lz always so tilted?

 

[kevinVchicago]

Go my little pot?

Like "my dear" [emoji23]

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Good effort Satoko! But the panel definitely needs to call those URs and put her behind Mirai. Her PCS might save her though.

 

[moriel]

Yulia: we wont talk about her tech, because she is recovering from injury
And anyway, the main goal are the Olympic games, the Nationals

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Ok I can breathe again. Some shaky landings again but fought hard! Was hoping for more 'Angry Face' again but I'll take it!

Good job Mirai!!

 

[Anni234]

Wasn't a fan of Satoko in the past, but she has something new going for her this year. I like it.

Bit of a rough technical skate for Miyahara. Many of her jumps will be reviewed for < and she doubled two jumps, the Flip and the Salchow. This definitely feels like a new program for her, as I felt her timing and glide with the music was better in the Geisha short. She's going to have a tough battle ahead at Nationals but she's still on the comeback trail, so we'll see if Higuchi and Mihara and some of the others will get that spot from her this season.

 

[frida80]

That sal pop was so scary! I'm so worried for her! I have to tell myself it's just rustiness, not the injury.

 

[rollerblade]

I'm not feeling this one. Can she go back to the Star Wars program?
