November 17, 20223 yr 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.
November 18, 20223 yr Anyone watching? RikuRyu just landed a gorgeous SP and are leading by 14 points Women's SP just about to start
November 18, 20223 yr 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. 😊
November 18, 20223 yr Lovely skate by Sumiyoshi Rion. Enjoyed her step sequence - great use of edges.

Shizuka Arakawa commentating - offering details on each of the elements.
November 18, 20223 yr Ted is saying Sumiyoshi-san got Level 4s on her StepSeq and spins...very nice! ...wow that dress (Eva-Lotta's) is a statement 😐

November 18, 20223 yr 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.
November 18, 20223 yr I don't think I've seen Olga skate before. She has some nice speed. Jumps need work though
November 18, 20223 yr 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.
November 18, 20223 yr 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…
