cronkite Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Wow, I just realized after checking NHK's schedule that they actually have "Closing Banquet" on Sunday. Banquet.... haven't heard this word for some years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockstaryuzu Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 My goodness, Rion's costume is breathtaking! ISU is streaming it on their YT channel: https://youtu.be/WFiegbmpK4I @Umebachi AH, to be able to watch it on TV instead of searching for streams. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umebachi Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Lovely skate by Sumiyoshi Rion. Enjoyed her step sequence - great use of edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umebachi Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Just now, rockstaryuzu said: ISU has Ted. I'd rather have Shizuka. I agree, her comments are helpful and sympathetic without being overly sweet or cloying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstaryuzu Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I don't think I've seen Olga skate before. She has some nice speed. Jumps need work though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umebachi Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Mikutina has great movements. A bit tight on the axel. Too bad about the fall on Lutz! The commentator says she is originally from Ukraine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstaryuzu Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Watanabe was the big surprise at Skate Canada. Oh dear, the 3A...:( Oh no... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umebachi Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Oh too bad she fell on 3A. She was nailing the jump in the 6 minute warm up. She lost her concentration and missed the last jump. Too much pressure for her first NHK event… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
