That kid Rio has some weird jumps, also definitely I can see Shoma (and Yuma)'s influence on him. Let's see if that will turn out to be a good or bad thing for him.

Just coming to say Mone Chiba performed one of the most stunning JGP performances ever today. I officially stop naming it "Julia's music", she made it her own

It was really fantastic

 

 

Mone and Mao are both lovely. 

 

Mone was more focused on the jumps today so her performance suffered a bit IMO. She was messy technically last year but she nailed the IN and PE. That said, how good was her flow and body control on the ice? Jump-wise, some people on Youtube said she is like Satoko, but IMO that is not the case. Her jumps are already better, and she can jump higher and farther as she increases her muscle strength. Well she needs to anyway, seeing that she is very determined to nail the 4T. 

 

Mao was, as always, insanely good for kids her age. Just lovely flow, speed, spins and presence. I'm a bit worried about her jumps tho since for now they look very much reliant on rotational speed. Again, I sincerely hope Hamada (or whoever else is going to be her coach for the next 8 years) will pace her wisely so she can remain healthy, and let her take the time she needs to polish her skating and increase the muscle strength to pull thru.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Xiangyi An of China really keeps the pure toepick techniques alive. So on the money and very reminiscent of Boyang's, Yuzu's and Misha's.
