not expected that coach Nakano could win medals in 4CC, OG, WC and even WJC this season.

The single events in this year Nationals will be bloodhell! Go Shun and Kazuki, just slap JSF by beating their favourites!

She is really talented but I'm afraid that she cannot survive puberty

It seems she attended high school in US according to her instagram posts.

Hana went relatively clean in FS almost 5 points leads in TES but 6 points behinds in PCS :0) JSF loves Yamada more than Hamada :0) and this Athletic Meets is held in Nagoya :0)

Though Mai's PCS should be a bit higher, she is much slower on ice than before...

JSF is dumb as always

The top 4 finishers will appear in the junior nationals. I won't be surprised if one of them is on the podium.

That's good for them...but then I'm not sure how many of them will go to junior nationals...

Novice A girls are really crazy...you can't step on the podium even you have >100 points...

Mao Shimada starts training 4T 2 weeks ago...

Shoya Ichihashi will compete in Singles again?

Marin is under JAL, which is based in Tokyo. So Marin will be competed in Tokyo block.

I think his spins are more terrible...

Marin is somehow reworking on her jump techniques and her jumps are getting better now.

It seems Nana will move to senior too...

I think Shingo may switch to ice dance if he gets a better result in ice dance. Though he came second in regional, all jumps in SP are invalidated (all single jumps).

I think Team KoKo is the better choice...

Some big groups are also using the same rink, such as Hamada and Nagamitsu. I just hope the coaches and skaters are not involved in the harassment.

If I remember, this is the last competitive season for Rin Nitaya.

I think his jumps are always wonky and this feature is intensified in these years because of his height...

Regarding JGP selection, there is an internal selection event in June every year. I think those potential candidates are selected from junior nationals and also spring competitions. But what we don't know are the selection criteria.

AFAIK is JSF doesn't prefer skaters to train overseas (I find it's too hard to speak something good about JSF)

Please don't misunderstand what I mean. Did JSF do something when many private ice rinks were forced to be closed? You should know most skaters are struggling to find enough facilities for on-ice and off-ice training... In Mai's case, she doesn't have a true home rink for practice... How can the skaters capitalize on their potential under this poor training conditions...

JSF "did" their jobs in JW... There will be only 2 spots for ladies. How can coaches cultivate skaters that are internationally competitive with this Federation? I think Tsuboi will stay in junior (but it's possible that he won't get any JGP spots like this season) Yuma and Shun will get JGP spots and Yuma will probably get a senior challenger assignment too... IMO, they should NOT give Sena any JGP spot even if Sena will stay in junior next season...
