Well we don't know if she's putting it in competition, but training/learning higher revolution jumps is one way to get your lower-revolution jumps to be rotated more consistently. And she'll need way more height for a 3A so that would translate to her 2A as well (not sure if it'll translate to her non-axel jumps though but we'll see). 

But her 2A is the one jump that always seems rotated.  Maybe it'll help her other jumps' height and distance anyway.

So soon! She must have worked on it between nationals and worlds?

I tend to think of Mirai and Mao cases for people that can do a 3A but then have UR issues elsewhere, though generally they have better jumps than Satton. I can't say I'm personally super confident, but I am super curious how she is going about it and if any of it can translate to her other jumps.  She can use any help she can get.

Or maybe she'll work on it now and test it out in the show. It's really early too. Hope it's as good as Wakabond.

I was hopping she will keep Wakabond next season too ... I feel like we didn't saw it enough ...

Wakaba looking super happy

 

I seem to recall, in an effort to stay positive, she said in one of her tweets after either GPF or JNats when she didn't do well enough to be selected for the Oly team, that she believes good times would come for her again. It's good to know she's right. May this result reflect in future seasons from here on out, in scores that do better justice to her performances. *fingers crossed*

I will miss the excitement of looking forward to be shot by Wakabond

she might only change the short program? there's still hope for more Wakabond 

[yuzuangel]

But new programs are always good... there will always be 2018 Worlds Wakabond to rewatch

I really like Marin and I hope this is what she needs. 

I dont know anything about Raf. Will he be a good coach for her?

All the best for Marin. Article also mentions that Marin's older brother, Taichi Honda, 19, plans to relocate to train with Arutunian as well.

[Yatagarasu]

All the best to Marin for sure.

As for how that'll turn out for her, guess we'll see but IMO if I had to say anything, I would not call Raf ideal for her. It is what it is though, so good luck!
