Danibellerika Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Holy Shoma Cat Reflexes Uno!!! I would have been happy to have caught just one myself! And that would have been before I'd just skated myself to a silver medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does Satoko jump higher here than in her entire program? Couldn't hold that in for even a second. Sorry tiny queen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew she was there but I had the feeling it was just a temp thing. Guess it was actually a trial run. Well, we'll see but it certainly makes things interesting!

robin Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Wow that's a really unexpected coach change. Could be that Marin is trying to move away from the media attention and focus more on skating (maybe the results form this season were a wake-up call for her) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm well she's already got considerable fame at this point (and had some success as a junior) so I don't see an incentive for her to be successful for the sake of fame, anymore. If she really decided this coach change by herself I would say she's genuinely interested improving herself as a skater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will only get you so far if you can't even make it out of your own nationals year in and year out. People like winners. Not that I am pretending to know all of her motivations. I'm just going off how fame seems to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She hasn't been very present in the sport this season... but I also don't really know how present she's been in Japanese media? I don't really follow her. Did she fall off a bit?

I don't follow her much either as she is not really a fave of mine, but I imagine most focus went to people that were competing at the Olympics. But I know she has summer shows coming up so she might pop up more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingman Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Well it said here that Honda's coach called her lazy. Spoiler http://www.icenetwork.com/news/2017/11/26/262415744/placid-pieces-miyahara-fights-for-stronger-bones So, it's probably not surprising that she is changing coach. When I was young I had a tough coach (in a different sport), and though he improved us a lot, in retrospect it was insulting. My teamate stuck around long enough to win a silver medal in Asia, but she was kind of in depression after that and didn't go beyond. To be a complete athlete, first and foremost you need to be a complete person. This is why Brian is such a great coach - he grows them not just as athletes but as people.
