Junior Worlds 2019 Interview (in Japanese)

Yuhana Yokoi: 0:00~

“I was relieved to have no big mistakes (in free). I’m going to Seniors next season, and I think it will not work out if I don’t change. All I can do is to make a good use of this bitter experience. I’ll try harder again and I want to show  improvements to those who’re watching me.” 

Tomoe Kawabata: 0:27~

“Very frustrating that I couldn’t perform the way I wanted to. I’ll find out what went wrong and how to correct them and find solutions for the next time.”

Yuna Shiraiwa: 0:50~

“It was such a long season for me. A lot of thoughts run through my head and here I am now. First of all, I didn’t have any major injuries this season and could compete until the very last, and that was a progress compared to the previous season, I think. I want to praise myself for it. And there are still a lot more things I need to work on, and I want to try my best again, looking ahead for the next opportunity.”

Koshiro Shimada: 1:25~

“The fruit of this competition was that I was so close to perfectly executing two quads in a program. Considering my own condition, I was almost there, just one step short, although that fact made it even more frustrating for me. I experienced domestic competitions, and I thought they were quite high level. I expected I could compete in the world stage too. But, as I actually competed here myself, Tsuboi-kun and I were talking about this (and agreed), it made us realize that we weren’t quite there yet. I strongly believe that I can show you myself improving further in the near future.”

Tatsuya Tsuboi: 1:58~

“Competing at a big international game like this and feeling really frustrated with the results, I don’t think I’ll ever forget this competition for the rest of my life. Next year, I want to win in domestic competitions and become a good skater to win in the world too.”

Tomoki Hiwatashi (lol in Kansai-ben): 2:21~

“It felt long. The last 3 years, I had certain situations, like changing coaches, relocating, and so on. Since I placed 3rd back then, so many things changed. There was a time I even thought I’d better quit skating. While having those (bad times/thoughts), I continued on, telling myself things will work out if I do them right. And finally achieving results in American Nats, 4CC, and this JW, I think this year became a good one overall, including all.

Hiwatashi-kun sounds a lot younger when speaking in Japanese.

Thank you always, uni-san!

The 2019-20 Grand Prix: Ladies Singles

 The 2019-20 ISU Grand Prix assignments have been issued as of last week . The preliminary lists include a wealth of talented skaters who will for sure make excellent competitions for athletes and audiences alike. I’d like to take this time to assess the rosters and give my thoughts about the skaters who got assignments.

Anna Scherbakova, Alexandra Trusova, and Alena Kostornaia (RUS) are going to be under the microscope this season, as the three Eteri Tutberidze skaters will make their senior Grand Prix debuts this year. Each of these skaters are paired with an older Russian competitor, almost as if the Russian Skating Federation is trying to create internal competition during the 1st half of the season. Scherbakova was given the same assignments as Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, Kostornaia will go up against Alina Zagitova, and Trusova is paired with Evgenia Medvedeva. Out of these three match-ups, Trusova/Medvedeva will be the most interesting. 

Sofia Samodurova and Stanislava Konstantinova are the other two Russians with two assignments. Sofia had a great season last year, making the Grand Prix Final. It’ll be difficult to predict if she will do just as well, as the ladies field is very deep.

Japan is well represented in the Grand Prix this season, with nine skaters receiving at least one assignment. This group will be spearheaded by Rika Kihira, who won the Final last season. She will face tough competition from Trusova at Skate Canada, but her superior skating skills and excellent attention to detail can potentially upset the World Junior champ for the win here. 

Kaori Sakamoto, Satoko Miyahara, Wakaba Higuchi, Mai Mihara, Mako Yamashita, and Yuna Shiraiwa all have two assignments this season. Besides Shiraiwa, they’ve all medaled on the Grand Prix in the past against pretty hefty fields, so expect some great competition from the Japanese skaters. Kaori and Satoko made the final last season, finishing 4th and 6th, respectively. Mai was an alternate, and Wakaba has made the final in a previous season. Mako surprised everyone with a silver at Skate Canada last season. They all have Grand Prix Final potential, so they’ll have to compete their best against the Russians to get there.

Marin Honda and Yuhana Yokoi have one assignment this season, with Marin at Cup of China, and Yuhana going to Rostelecom Cup. Marin has been struggling since her move to Rafael Artunyan. But her performances at ice shows this past month have been promising. Her La La Land skate is adorable and has some interesting moments. Yuhana is untested, relatively speaking. She’s been on the junior circuit for (it seems like) an eternity.

The empty host spot for NHK Trophy is very interesting, as there could be a number of skaters with either one or no assignment that could fill it. I would personally put Tomoe Kawabata in that place, as her excellent skating skills and beautiful jumping technique need to be shown to a wider audience. She’s turning 17 this year, so it’s critical that the JSF shows interest in her development. Marin could also take this spot if she shows she’s ready to compete in the pre-season. There’s also Ayaka Hosoda, who rose to national prominence after landing two triple axels seemingly out of nowhere at Japanese Nationals. 

South Korea will have a stronger presence on the circuit this season, with Kim Ye-lim and You Young making their debuts at Skate Canada. It’s a bummer that they currently don’t have a second assignment, but they’re sure to be pretty high up on the alternate list if a skater withdraws. Lim Eun-soo will be at Skate America and NHK Trophy this year. Though she didn’t have the most stellar season, she’s bound to make a mark with her striking balance of beauty and power.

The US has four skaters with two assignments this year. Bradie Tennell will be at back-to-back events at Skate America and Skate Canada. Mariah Bell is appearing at GP France and Rostelecom. Ting Cui will also be in France, and will close her Grand Prix season at NHK. And Karen Chen will [allegedly] compete at Skate America and Cup of China. Bradie has been actively pursuing getting better, working with Alexei Mishin at his camp in France. Mariah had a pretty good season last year, with a Top 10 finish at Worlds. I really hope she does just as well this year. Ting was a surprise medalist at Junior Worlds, so it’ll be interesting to see how she’ll do this season after that momentum. She is currently injured, but only time will tell how things become. And then there’s Karen. I would be SHOCKED if she competes at all this Grand Prix. She’s going to be a freshman at Cornell this fall, and given its isolated location in Ithaca, NY, USA, it’ll be hard for her to get top level training while juggling one of the more difficult Ivy League programs around. She recently competed at an open competition in Colorado, and her short program looked pretty good, but it’s way too early in the pre-season to make any sense of it.

Starr Andrews rounds out the list of American skaters currently slated to do the Grand Prix. Starr’s inconsistencies and tendencies of underrotations caught up to her last season. It might be an uphill climb for her to return to a major competition like Worlds or 4CC.

There’s an open spot at Skate America, and there are a couple of skaters who the USFSA could pick to go for it. Megan Wessenberg had this position last year, and she did pretty well. The US doesn’t have a massive amount of depth in the ladies field, so they have to make a pretty careful decision on who they send. I would think Hannah Harrell has a pretty good shot of getting this spot, as she finished 7th at Junior Worlds at 4th at U.S. nationals last season. 

Gabrielle Daleman (CAN), Alexia Paganini (SUI), Loena Hendrickx (BEL), Elizabet Tursynbaeva (KAZ), Laurine Lecavelier (FRA), Mae Berenice Meite (FRA), Viveca Lindfors (FIN), and Chen Hongyi (CHN) round out the list of skaters with two assignments. Tursynbaeva will be the the most interesting to watch in this pool, as she ended her season with a slew of medals at Worlds, 4CC, and Universiade. I’m not sure how she’ll fare with the increased level of competition, and she isn’t known as the most consistent of competitors herself. Alexia Paganini turned some heads with some pretty good performances at Rostelecom Cup and the European Championships last season. The Swiss-American is slowly building credibility on the international circuit, and I think she could be making some major moves in the next few years. Loena is my personal favorite, but she’s been dealing with some injuries this past season. I hope she can overcome some of her physical issues and pull out all the stops for this year.

As we inch ever so closer to Beijing, the ladies singles field will be one to watch for all Olympic sports. The standard of the sport has increased exponentially since Pyeongchang, and I’ll be sure to stay as updated as I can!

Some thoughts on the junior ladies SP

Idk what was more unexpected, Sasha behind Anya, or Ting Cui in third, or the number of 3lutz + COMBO.... Probably Sasha jumping 3lz-3t, instead of 3lz-3l. Anyone knows why ?

I have not been paying attention at all too Yuna Shiraiwa, and boy I was wrong. Now I just have to add her to my evergrowing list of Japanese ladies I stan. Her SP is wonderful as well.

Tomoe Kawabata is lovely to watch, and I think she was lowballed in the PCS.

Proud of Anna Kuzmenko for being clean. I kinda miss the violet and yellow dress from the JGP, it was a so-bad-it’s-good kind of outfit. She was a bit too focused today  but that’s okay.

It was so great to see Ting Cui with a big smile on her face while skating.

Young You is really gracious on ice, but I really can’t get into her skating.

I miss Alena Kostornaia...

[lazuliblade]

Wait, Mihara is going to 4cc? When was that announced? Is there a link for a source? I googled and can find nothing about Japan's teams.

Mai is also going to Universiade if you’re planning to watch.There was a live stream last night where we saw the announcements, which is how we got the news so quickly. These were among the first tweets: (Worlds Men)(Worlds Ladies)and from the figure skate tweeting bot: (Worlds, 4CC)Here’s the news article announcing the JSF’s decision, along with the explanation that Daisuke declined his spot to Worlds (which is why Keiji is going) and the interview with Dai (Worlds - Daily News) (and 4CC news - Kobe NEXT).

For future reference, your best bet to find announcements is straight from the source: The JSF website. It won’t be as immediate as tweets from people watching live, but it’s where you can find the official list usually not too long after. There should be an announcement at some point with the full list of alternates and such, but at least right now we have the chosen athletes for each team. In case you can’t read the kanji, I’ve translated the names:Worlds: Shoma Uno, Keiji Tanaka, Yuzuru HanyuKaori Sakamoto, Rika Kihira, Satoko MiyaharaMiu Suzaki & Ryuichi KihiraMisato Komatsubara & Tim Koleto4CC: Shoma Uno, Keiji Tanaka, Kazuki TomonoKaori Sakamoto, Rika Kihira, Mai Mihara Miu Suzaki & Ryuichi KihiraMisato Komatsubara & Tim KoletoUniversiade:Kazuki Tomono, Shu Nakamura, Hiroaki SatoMai Mihara, Hina TakenoJunior Worlds: Tatsuya Tsuboi, Koshiro ShimadaYuhana Yokoi, Tomoe Kawabata, Yuna Shiraiwa (she’s been competing as a Senior domestically and internationally, so she has to get TES minimums at a Junior competition first)Riku Miura & Shoya IchihashiAyumi Takanami & Yoshimitsu IkedaQuadruple Axel magazine tweeted the lists including the alternates that were announced:Worlds Men’s, Ladies’4CC Men’s, Ladies’ Universiade Men’s, Ladies’Jr. Worlds Men’s, Ladies’

Third alternate for Worlds, Koshiro Shimada, would need to get minimum TES in a Senior comp to qualify to compete at Worlds.
