Yeah, They clearly... I don't know if they wanted, but definitely not minded Mao with medal, but to win? No way they would want novice to win. Even Asada didn't win as a novice. To make it more fun, Rion won PCS by a landslide. Rion 58.40 PCS Azusa 54.32 PCS Mone 52.80 PCS Hana 51.92 PCS Mao 50.72 PCS Yurina 50.08 PCS and the rest is below 50

Not sure if there was an announcement, but to senior nats should go: Kao Miura, Tatsuya Tsuboi, Nozomu Yoshioka, Takeru Kataise, Koushou Ooshima, Shunsuke Nakamura Rion Sumiyoshi, Mone Chiba, Hana Yoshida, Azusa Tanaka, Ayumi Shibayama, Ami Nakai

Japanese Junior Nationals, or as I like to call it, everybody and their moms get less PCS than last year, but not the supposed winner. Too bad the supposed winner lost a triple.

Cup of Russia: Perm https://fsrussia.ru/results/2122/5etap/index.htm among skaters: Lukin, Sarnovsky, Soloviev, Ugozhaev, Vetlugin. Kovalev, Zakharova.

The only thing that World Standing really affects is skating order during some competitions. Not who goes to these competitions. Yes, TOP 24 has obligatory 1 spot during GP, bur that's it. 25th place and lower will not give you anything. You need thousands of points to be in TOP 24 and one competition will not give you this. The important thing for Rion and Hana right now is Season's Best (total scores). Because TOP 24 gets 1 spot for GP and TOP 75 will be considered for receiving leftover spots. It's SB list that GP organisers take as a reference when inviting skaters. Which is how Sota, Rino and Yuhana got one GP each this June. Because they weren't in TOP24 SB (or WS), but still high enough. Which is how Mana later got Skate Canada (she was 30-something on the list; NHK was obvious, because it would go to Japanese lady anyway, so the only question was Mana or Yuhana, which... isn't really a question). That's why Koshiro wasn't invited anywhere - iirc he was 50-something, which is way too low. That's also why it was a bit of a scandal that Davis/Smolkin got Skate Canada and Shevchenko/Eremenko nothing, when S/E were higher on the SB list. And the easy part with SB is that you need only one good competition to achieve it. The problem is that you can't get it at every competition. Which is why challengers and JGP are so important. And that's why it pisses me off that JSF doesn't send more skaterts to challengers. Rinka is doing amazing this season, but the only competition she will go to is Universiade (non-ISU competition). Akari landed two 3-3 in second half. Hana is a seeded skater, so she could go to senior challenger too. And two, while we are at it, because only one chance is beyond cruel. Yet they got nothing. The only skaters who received one (1) challenger each were the ones, who in last 2-3 years were considered Japan's top juniors, recently switched to seniors, but not received any GP. Who cares that Tomoe for a long time already is a mess. Who cares that some skaters don't peak in juniors, but somewhere later in seniors. And it's not like JSF bets on younger generation, because for example Rinka is younger than Tomoe.

Maybe so, but: 1. In case someone else wins junior nats - it means they are already in JWC team, so I don't get this senior nats argument. 2. Announcement like that just few days before junior nats?😅 3. Rion isn't some outrageous choice, but not an obvious one either. Even when she keeps scoring well, she hasn't skated one clean program this whole season, even when East Japan is a pretty weak field and she has room for mistakes. Meanwhile both Ayumi and Ikura proved that they can land their jumps under pressure in much deeper competition. Not to mention Hana, her 8 triples FP that she skated cleanly few times in past already, two times junior nats medalist. And I don't care how West Sectional went. The field was deep and she has still highest scoring potential. Yet the decision already is made, uhm. 4. Let's be real, this means that Rion is supposed to be in JWC team too. No matter how junior nats will go, senior nats can easily adjust it. And JWC will decide JGP spots. And every spot posible is extremely important, because next season there will be Hana, Ami, Ayumi, Ikura, Sakurako, Mao, Kaoruko, Haruna, Rika and I still haven't lost hope that Momoka will come back. And in difficult situation like that, when Hana/Ayumi/Ikura have ZERO international experience and ZERO exposure to judges (look: point 3) - the assignment to the only competition before JWC that can give it is decided beforehand. Sweet, isn't it? And whole situation could be easened, if not completely avoided, if Hana was send to JGP in 2019 like she deserved.

They are juniors. Who cares about senior nats? It's JGPF and JWC that are insanely important this season, not any Japanese competition.

But of course they couldn't wait until next week.🙄

Good news. Take your time, Zu!🙏
