Team Japan

[SuzyQ]

So many competitions to follow 

 

Tomoe Kawabata did great SP, but she must be unsatisfied with her FS.  Her Lutz jumps are superb anyway with length and height.

Moa Iwano does not seem to have overcome her UR issue, but I really enjoy her performance, and her steps are truly exquisite  

 

 

It was pity that Moa had to wait before the performance due to some technical troubles.

And, Yuma, now I'm pretty sure you can make it to the Finals 

Yuma Kagiyama SP 84.72

 

Looking forward to his FS tonight.

Yuma seemed not satisfied, but he got a pretty good score 

Yuma Kagiyama FS 160.63  Total 245.35 

What a competition!  He could not win gold with this score

I thought it was right foot that she had injured last year? Or I remember something wrong?

That's what I thought... err,  what?

[Fay]

But all right, guess dancing will get popular in Japan now.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Didn't see that coming, at all.

[yumeaki]

This is really surprising...

[shanshani]

okay I'm super down for this

 

tbh a couple of other team Japan skaters should probably consider switching to dance. it's just too crowded in singles, and Japan needs more depth in pairs/ID

Very surprised to read the news, I didn't see this coming either. I don't know how realistic Beijing can be for them, Takahashi is already 33 (will be 34/35 in their first season) and Kana switched to Ice Dance also quite late, when she was already in her 20s. This partnership will probably generate much interest in ice dance in Japan in the next few years though.
