    WTT is a good experience for skaters like Isabeau and Ilia as they will have a big chance of competing at the Olympics teams event.

    2023 World Team Trophy - April 13-16 - Tokyo, Japan

    Thank you so much for many replies on my suggestions. I don’t really care too much about it for WTT since it’s not a serious competition, but I really hope the rules to change for the Olympics team event(from 10 9 8 7 6 to 10 8 6 4 2 for all categories in the free programs).

    2023 World Team Trophy - April 13-16 - Tokyo, Japan

    I really think the scores for Pairs and Ice Dance should be changed to 12 10 8 6 4 2. Only 5 points difference between the top(12) and bottom(7) is too little. I wish the same for all the categories of the free programs in the Olympics team event(from 10 9 8 7 6 to 10 8 6 4 2).

    +3T comparison of Kostornaia and Valieva https://m.imgur.com/a/wcauoSc Kostornaia's +3T is beautiful and effortless. No upper body movement at all. Valieva's +3T has a lot of extra movement. Her shaky edge and high free leg at the takeoff and landing are killing the flow and speed. No way to...

    From Russia With Love [#38]: Fall/Winter 2020

    I don't like how Valieva does combos. A pause between the first jump and the toe(between euler and the sal as well), which can also be seen from some other ladies(Medvedeva, Ryabova, etc...). This isn't very rhythmical and doesn't look effortless so I wouldn't give a +4 or +5 to those jumps.

    The ISU's New Set Of Judging Rules For Jumps

    Not mendatory to give a negative GOE for q'ed jumps? I've seen some judges give a BIG positive GOE to some of those jumps, not even a 0, which is RIDICULOUS!!

    The ISU's New Set Of Judging Rules For Jumps

    I really think cheated take-offs should be called by TS, with a sign like "c". I don't see the new reduction ruke "cheated take-off" will be applied properly because: There have been below reductions which allow judges to go down with GOE inividually for uncalled underrotated/edgew violated...

    Japanese figure skating 2017-18 season news & updates

    PIGuchi should leave Okajima and train in overseas as Honda decided to. I don’t see he is a good coach.

    If All Ladies Deliver in Olympics SP, Who Comprises Top 6?

    Miyahara has “delivered” but got 2 URs. So the meaning of “deliver” means nothing for her because she can NEVER get her jumps fully round.

    If All Ladies Deliver in Olympics SP, Who Comprises Top 6?

    What is the definition for “deliver”? Performances with all the jumps clean and fully round and Lv4 for all the spins and the step sequence? I don’t think Miyahara has ever landed her jumps fully round. She always completes the rotations on the ice which she doesn’t seem to be aware of as she...

    If All Ladies Deliver in Olympics SP, Who Comprises Top 6?

    Top 6 Zagitova, Medvedeva, Osmond, Kostner, Sakamoto, Nagasu Top 7-12 Daleman, Tennell, Sotskova, Chen, Choi, Tursynbaeva I’d have Cheatoko Miyahara 14th place behind Rajicova because of UR’s(possibly DG for the toe) on all her jumps.
