She's good-for-juniors, but still learning to perform. 3A was pretty good though.

124.86 into first, beats Sumika in the free by a whisker.

 

[Kateri]

Kaoruko Wada, Titanic agaiiiiin

2A
3Z 2T fall out
3F
3R
3S 2T 2T probably one was a 2R, else she's done too many 2Ts - hmm, looked like 2T-2T on replay though?
3F 2A
3Z

She's never stood out to me among the juniors, programmes too generic, but she did seem fast compared to the others.

110.08 into 4th

3Z step out
3R
3F 3T super tight

Not sure I got all those jumps right, unless she messed up her combos and did two solo loops then another combo anyway?? (well, Yuki agrees with me!)

Yuna is a goddess but I do not understand doing 3Z-3R and solo 3T. Craziness, but the 3R looked more rotated than most end combo 3Rs!
