Melodie Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I'm not a big fan of both of Mana's programs this season, but props to her and Mihoko for trying to branch out. One thing I noticed though is that Mana seems to be reworking her jumping techniques 😯 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FP, not so much; it's still very much a snooze for me. Two years in and it still left me with zero impression. PS: I can't stand it when his fans ooze praise for his Lutz.

Melodie Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Ikura's charming FS to The Little Prince soundtrack. Best program yet from Kaetlyn Weaver and (mistakes not counted) one of the best free skates at least in this season: Wonderful choreo and music cuts that makes sense throughout the program, technical elements that are placed in the absolute right spots, and performance/expression that wholefully emulates the story she tries to tell. That subtle change in her facial expression at the beginning and that choreo sequence? *chef's kiss*. Her growth as a performer is something delightful to witness. Here's hoping she'd get injury-free and more consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sombreuil Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Uno - I have no words and not in a good way. Martina Frammartino’s slow motion captures say it all for me. Lambiel as an apologist- not a good look. Disappointing. Kaori Sakamoto is a force of nature-my tastes are quite diverse, I can appreciate and enjoy Mai Mihara and at the same time enjoy the sheer athleticism and joie de vivre of Kaori - and her smile lights up the stadium. It’s athleticism of a very particular sort - there’s no strain or struggle or awkward movement when she’s really on song. She may not do the quads or the 3A but she’s strong, smooth and delightful to watch - infinitely preferable to the flailing telegraphed movements of others. So pleased to see Mone Chiba doing well too. Really pleased to see new ice dance teams doing well and particularly pleased to see Utashin thriving with their new partners. Hoping very much that upcoming teams can take on the progress made by R&R - Ryuichi won’t skate forever and they could do with getting some new teams up to the point of qualifying for international competition.

Agree, I will miss him.....it feels to soon for him to stop, but if I think about it, he has been around a long time. Wishing him all the best for his next steps.

Wishing him all the best for his next steps. While it feels too soon, I think he felt "done". It has to have been hard for him to be active at the same time as the GOAT. If not for Yuzu, he'd have far more golds. He so improved once he went to Stephane and will be missed. I expect we'll still be seeing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
