rikuryu are not just the future of pairs skating, they are the present. they have undeniable charisma and star power, and they plan to compete for two more olympic cycles. so long as rikuryu keep placing in the top two at worlds, japanese pairs will have three spots, despite having only one senior pair in the entire country. if jsf had any sense, they'd be developing and investing in their domestic pairs field

We need more ageism in ice dance, how am I expected to watch this season as F/G, C/B, G/F etc and their wishy washy programs win over these younger teams

This is heartbreaking. He's a person! A skater who signed up to skate not to be a celebrity, but even if he had, he is still entitled to his privacy!! I hope him and his ex-wife find some peace. Some of you are monsters.

Marin Honda (JPN): Faded | 2023 Japanese Nationals

marin on her last nationals:

"when i touched the ice surface, i was very thankful. since the warm-up, i saw many banners and realized how many people supported me. this gave me the strength to make it to the end.

i started skating when i was two years old, and i've made many experiences both in practice and competitions. the public practice was very hard, and i thought about changing the triple combination to a double. i'm very satisfied with my performance."

although marin was injured, she decided to not withdraw and give her last nationals (and likely her last competition) her very best. to the 2016 junior world champion and perpetual champion of hearts, thank you for everything!
