Satton... I wish her a full and speedy recovery! Yes, don't think about challenger series or senior b competitions and just do you best at the gp series.

 

On a lighter note, I was wondering why Satton would sign her name with a pineapple on her blog and could this be the reason??

Too bad for Satoko, the road to her recovery has not been straight forward, but I wish her luck in the next few months. I always laugh at how often she repeated the word "speedy" in a press conference last year... so I hope her recovery from now on is "speedy!"

Too bad Satoko is still suffering from the stress fracture in her hip. She was injured in January, right?  I thought it was already fine but she said the injury has recovered a lot, not totally unfortunately. So she is not skipping Finlandia only as a precaution. I wish it is not something more serious than has been announced and her hip is totally cured before the main competitions start.

I think most likely with all the problems she's had during the summer too, her jumps are simply not back. She needs to be full strength too, even if the injury itself has healed, and that takes time and those types of disruptions she had do not help with recovery. 
Wise choice for her to skip it, but I do wish her all the best and hopefully this is the last set-back she has to face in her run-up to the Olys.

An article about Satoko Miyahara:

Miyahara to skip planned season opener in Finland, 4 Sep 2017

Japan’s top female skater, Satoko Miyahara, will withdraw from next month’s Finlandia Trophy where she had been scheduled to open her season, the Japan Skating Federation said Monday.

 

Miyahara, who sat out the latter half of last winter due to a stress fracture in her left groin area, has healed steadily from her injury but wants to save her energy and place priority on preparing for the Grand Prix series, federation director Yoshiko Kobayashi said.

 

The 19-year-old was initially planning to take part in the Finlandia Trophy in Finland on Oct. 6-8, but now her first competition of the upcoming Winter Olympic season will be the NHK Trophy, the fourth of six Grand Prix series events, on Nov. 10-12 in Osaka.

 

The 2015 world silver medalist won her third straight national title in women’s singles last December, but the injury prevented her from appearing in major events such as the Four Continents championships and the Asian Winter Games in February and the world championships from late March.

 

She performed at an ice show in July, but withdrew from another show in early August after spraining her left foot and also sat out a training session that was open to the media on Wednesday as she was not in good condition.
