2022 4 Continents entry #13

Women free program

Eugenia Garza(MEX)

Thoughts: she had multiple greens going on. The only shade of green I liked was on her sleeve.

Sofia Frank(PHI)

Thoughts: she has these big expressive eyes. Perfect for storytelling.

Veronik Mallet(CAN)

Thoughts: her smile helped the dress to grow on me

Yuhana Yokoi(JPN)

Thoughts: it is very difficult to make this dress not look too busy. But she succeeded.

Alison Schumacher(CAN)

Thoughts: she is a beauty. Did you see that spiral?!

Kailani Craine(AUS)

Thoughts: usually this neckline with the lines around the chest is a good way to get on my bad side. But I liked this outfit.

Yuhana Yokoi - Japanese Nationals 22

Program: Hungarian Rhapsody

Elements:

2A | 3Lo (2 foot) | 3Lz | FCS4 | StSq4 | 2F2T | FSS4 | 3S2T | 3F (fall) | ChSq | 2A1T1Lo | ChCoS4

Oh no…. Seeing her so emotional after is making me emotional 😭 she didn’t do a bad job, she just was not on top of her blades today with her jumps (take off or landing).

I really wish Yuhana had a better program… not that there was anything particularly wrong with this,, but it’s just not HER. She thrives with a character or something with personality, but not even the piano trills at the end lent her much to work with…

Score: 102.09 for a total of 161.87 into 8th

Japanese Nationals, Women’s event, groups 3&4, so many emotions!

This field! This field is so deep, there’s so much going on!

GROUP 3

Yuhana Yokoi (22)

Oh no Yuhana your jumps, where did they go? She seemed happy to be there and performed all through anyhow. Lovely spins for the most part, but the last one was rushed by jump issues.

Rika Kihara (20)

Glad she isn’t pushing the hard content too fast too soon in her injury recovery. Her skating is beautiful, but because of the pared down content, she can’t afford even small jumping errors that were present today. Still great to see her skate, and I hope that the progress she is making elsewhere this season will pay off. I will be interested to see more of what working with Orser does for her.

Yuna Aoki (20)

I love the 3Lz-3Lo combo, and just 3Lo on the end of combos in general, and hers was pretty. I loved her junior days, so it’s lovely to see her here and skating so well. She looked so happy with that, which makes me happy. Lovely program commitment and performance.

Ikura Kushida (15 - Juniors)

Excellent potential from the junior field. Good jumps and skills for where she is, but she’s still definitely working on that musical connection. Excited to see where she is in a few years.

Ami Nakai (14 - Juniors)

She was already one of my favorite juniors this year! What a program that was, everything was there. She had the big elements, but they weren’t just big elements strung together to rack up points. She performed and got all level 4s on her leveled elements. She’s going to be a force to be reckoned with, and she’s already on her way there! I love how interesting her programs are to watch.

Ayumi Shibayama (14 - Juniors)

Great work! She did her best and skated very clean. There’s been a lot of progress in her skating. This music seems like it’s a little too much for her performance ability right now. She did try really hard for it though.

GROUP 4

Mana Kawabe (18)

Beautiful skating, but some falls to throw her off. 3A is almost back for her, but not quite. I’m proud of her, but this wasn’t quite her day for the FS.

Saki Miyake (20)

I think this program can be very interesting with great program structure, but she was a little bit all over the place with its execution today. She seemed a little off from the start (looked like she might have been having a costume issue, and I could see that unnerving her). Lovely skater, not her day.

Mao Shimada (14 - Juniors)

Oh no starting with the falls on her big elements, but she pulled it together and skated the rest really clean. She’s got such a bright, charming energy, but she knows how to modulate it to fit the music and the moment in the program. Beautiful spiral in there! Good for her!

Mone Chiba (17 - Junior)

There were some issues, but what a lovely level of skating for a seventeen year old! Amazing layback spin at the end, great spins in general honestly. I appreciate how much she has to her skating beyond just jumps.

Mai Mihara (23)

Coming in off the GPF win and carrying that momentum! You can tell that she’s such an experienced skater because she was able to work around early program mistakes and make the program so strong and suitable by adding the missed combo back in. She performs and skates so beautifully, and you can really feel that skate and her emotions! That spiral is so so good! I’m so proud of her!

Kaori Sakamoto (22)

She’s caved and struggled under pressure and expectations a few times this season, but not today, not here! That was the performance of her season so far, and I hope that she can build on that energy into Worlds (and 4CC if she goes)! That’s Kaori the WC, that’s Kaori the Olympic medalist, that’s Kaori the reigning Japanese National Champion. The jumps, the spins, the steps, every element was there and beauitful! The passion and performance just locked it in so that the skills shone! Her loop! I’m so proud, not entirely coherent about it. Her reaction to her scores at the end was so good.

I’m very happy with how this went for Kaori and Mai, and happy enough for overall placements. There were some skates that didn’t go as well as hoped, but in the end, I think that this turned out pretty OK.

[lokijiro]

May I ask for Kinayu Yokoi? I was happy to see her skating so well, and the fact that she did that SP on the first year she managed to qualify for nats, the year after big sister Yuhana's last time at nats. . . That made it even more special.

i have some time off, so opening requests! leave me a message in my ask or on this post and i'll try to get to it in the next week or so. priority is japan nats but other events are fine too
