I have other priorities. Rino kind of bores me and she's not clutch enough in the SP to make me care about her succeeding. I'm gonna have to root for Mone, Hana & Wakaba over Rino.

i stand by my statement

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

If you ever feel like you're different and out of place, just think "Amber Glenn".

 

[victorskid]

And the stream (ISU) is now live for the final event of Day 1.

 

[Karen-W]

And the stream (ISU) is now live.

As is Peacock!

Scenery-porn of Grenoble and the French Alps to start off with Ted & Mark talking.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I think "Vision/Visionary" needs to be a bingo square.

 

[Karen-W]

Nahhhhhh... Not unless they start using it every segment, lol.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Nahhhhhh... Not unless they start using it every segment, lol.

Don't give them any ideas.

And I'm with Rukia who's going to be at Boston Worlds.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

So, Japanese nationals are early this season?

 

[Sylvia]

So, Japanese nationals are early this season?

Same time as usual - around Xmas.

ETA - just before Xmas this year: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...apanese-nationals-2024-dec-19-22-2024.112336/

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

It is very considerate of the ladies to pick different colours for this sp

 

[Sally1214]

GO, AMBER. That's all I have to say .... for now.

I think he means this event

And yes they are! Love Glenn but it would've been wild to have all six entries come from Japan

 

[Private Citizen]

Glenn popped a double axel into a single with a step out, then did a shaky double axel, then popped a loop to a single. C’mon, get it together! Just did a 3f3t so seems to be gaining her composure.

 

[floridaice]

Mark & Ted -- stop jinxing Amber!

 

[Karen-W]

The top 2 Japanese women here will go to Japanese Nats knowing their spot on the Worlds team is likely secure.

 

[Private Citizen]

And 3A from Glenn! Landed on the toe and possibly a tad short but clean.

 

[Rukia]

Mark & Ted -- stop jinxing Amber!

lol she jinxes herself just fine

she traditionally wins practices the real test is always competition

 

[SkateSand]

I like Mark and Ted separately, but together - ugh! Too much chatter! And why are they letting Ted introduce the skaters?

 

[Colonel Green]

A blonde American woman hasn’t faced off against this many Japanese since Kill Bill.

 

[Private Citizen]

Great 3Lo into a split jump from Glenn.

Looks like Sakamoto is going to do her “lutz” right in front of me. It’s going to take all my strength not to go “boys who score” on it. Call the “e,” tech panel!!!

 

[Sally1214]

Has Kaori changed her hair colour again? I think it was "blond-er" in Halifax, no? Personally, I prefer her natural color on her but it's fun to try different things with your hair. So, you go, girl.

 

[tony]

I was hoping Ted would disappear for the senior events. I don't mind him introducing skaters and talking during replays, but most of what he says is expected and cliche during the performances.

I want Mark to be on his own, digging into specific edges and patterns and PCS explanations.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I was going to ask if the world team criteria for Japan was about the same as usual.

Vanessa would never. The other two better be in a feisty mood.

I'm guessing it will be.
