Rika does a 4S here! At about 0.42s. 

Don't know how recent that was, though.

[Yatagarasu]

I refuse to think about Sota right now that he's managed to land all that so soon after his singles because I'm going to implode most likely. I'm going to pretend nothing is happening until the Nats roll in.

The scene was taken in the junior training camp, July 25.

Stéphane Lambiel talks about Koshiro

 

Quote

- I met him before "Ice Legends", because I was teaching in Japan. So I saw him when he was a novice in Japan and I really liked his skating. Then I invited him to "Ice Legends"-I and then I saw him in Lillehammer. And he asked me to choreograph his short program. And at the same time his coach was moving to another town to take care of her own parents, so he was looking for a new environment for practice. At the same time he had the same injury as Deniss and same injury as me, so that whole connection, that whole friendship, that whole relationship that was already there made us work together. And I suggested him... Of course, for a 16 years old boy to move from Japan to Switzerland, it's such a long way...

- And does he speak English? Not much English?
- No, much better.
D (Deniss): If we can cook together, [it means] he can speak.
- He's been actually doing good, he was a long time in Toronto for his injury, for his rehabilitation, so his English got much, much, much better in a very quick time.

Because I can't go to other skaters and team japan, where this should go, but somebody very salty has edited Wakaba's wiki page. There's a little rant about judging bias against Wakaba in favour of Russian skaters in there now!

Tbf Wakababy was robbed on PCS at CoC, but that's some level of saltiness.
