I'm not waiting anything from this project, pity that Kana can't find good partner and it's too hard to receive Japanese citizenship for a foreign partner. No offence to Dai but I think he had knee problems, must learn lifts and never had SS of Patrick or Kazuka. Publicity might be good, but for now it seems like the only way to get a good pair for Japan is to find two juniors with very good SS, but not good jumps and send them abroad, but it doesn't look like JSF is interested. I don't know how Utana and Shingo decided to skate together and who for their move to Canada. Shingo has been at Cricket for quite a while now, but he was a singles skater. Still is - he hopes to get his jumps back and he took part in a competition in Japan around a week ago where he came second. They obviously talked him into trying dances and found Utana for him in January or February this year.

For the team event the country must have individual qualifiers in at least three of the disciplines. If they don't have a qualified individual entry in the fourth discipline then they can bring someone extra, but they can only compete in the team event.

Though he came second in regional, all jumps in SP are invalidated (all single jumps).

October 3, 20196 yr Poor Mai I hope she is recovering a bit, even if slowly. The thought of her in pain... And so many other jpn ladies are injured too
October 3, 20196 yr Oh no! My favourite Japanese lady... things must be bad if she won't even appear there... i just hope she can get healthy again...

October 4, 20196 yr Mai... I was deading that news since it is only weeks away. I wonder if her whole year is now done.... and this after she was so happy to have choreo by lori nichol etc.. just like Mao. I dread the thought that she might even be forced to quit entirely.... with her disease you never know. My hope is that she can recover and have another Cinderella like year one day...
