yaaas! so wakaba is finally bringing it!  Can't wait!

 

It seemed pretty clear from her super duper 2A that she was capable of 3A but I didn't see the footage until yesterday? The day before? I think it's from the legendary WTT gala practice.

 

And Rika Kihira is moving up. The future looks bright!

Huh? Is it in her planned content? Isn't that vid from WTT 17 practice?

Yup, that's where it's from. 

How our Quad boys stack up in terms of their planned layout BVs:

 

SKATER	SP LAYOUT	SP BV	FS LAYOUT	FS BV	TOTAL BV
Nathan CHEN	4Lz3T // 4F 3A	54.38	4Lz3T 4F 4S // 4Lz 4T1Lo3S 3A2T 3A 3Lz	115.21	169.59
Shoma UNO	4F // 4T3T 3A	51.31	4Lo 4S 3A // 4F 4T2T 4T 3A1Lo3F 3S3T	110.02	161.33
Mikhail KOLYADA	4Lz 4T3T // 3A	51.15	4Lz 4S 3A3T // 4T 3A 3Lz1Lo3S 3Lo 3Lz2T	98.81	149.96

 

I'm also comparing the BVs of a couple of particular junior ladies:

 

SKATER	SP LAYOUT	SP BV	FS LAYOUT	FS BV	TOTAL BV
Alexandra TRUSOVA	// 3F3Lo 3Lz 2A	34.77	4S // 3Lz3Lo 3F2T2T 3Lz3T 3F 3S 2A	71.13	105.90
Rika KIHIRA	2A // 3F3T 3Lz	33.56	3A3T 3A 3F // 3Lz2T 3Lo 3Lz2T2Lo 3S	68.19	101.75
Daria PANENKOVA	// 3F3T 3Lz 2A	33.89	// 3Lz 3F3T 3F2T2T 3Lo 3S3T 2A 2A	62.96	96.85
Alena KOSTORNAIA	// 3F3T 3Lz 2A	33.89	// 3Lz3T 3F1Lo3S 3Lo2T 3Lz 3Lo 2A 2A	61.89	95.78

 

Rika and Sasha's total planned layout BVs are higher than Alina Zagitova's, and this without a choreograhic sequence!

someone posted a photo of waka potentially in training (I'm assuming a recent photo) and wearing Ice  Rink Sendai gloves??

 

Do you think Yuzu carries around new pairs of Irene gloves to gift to people?  (Keiji has one as well...)

Junior Ladies SP will happen when I'll be getting ready for work. Gah. I guess I'll prepare breakfast in between waiting for scores.... 

Phew, guys, i thought Wakaba was really bringing a 3A for GPF, can't wait to see it one day but I'm not ready for the stress

I'm so ready.  YOLOlympics: Waka 3A; Yuzu 4A. Bring it.

I am sure Wakaba will try and bring it next season; she has all the prerequisites for it. Plus this season has enough headaches so it may not be a bad choice at all to not tempt fate, the way it's all been going. 

 

Well we start with the Juniors first, so fingers crossed (JGPF thread is in the other section, so sorry for making you all move  ) but am really excited for the girls. And somehow even with having faves, way more relaxed than for the Seniors!

We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitses. Wicked, tricksy, false!

 

(so sorry, but that's all I can think of when I see your post!  )
