Early head to head with LesGacs and Fabbri/Ayer?

Gotta love ice dance drama!

ETA: I can't believe Plazas/Fernandez are doing back to back comps in less than a week half way across the world... especially after their long absence.

 

[Lana K]

Women’s lineup is stacked! I’m excited

I can't believe Plazas/Fernandez are doing back to back comps in less than a week half way across the world... especially after their long absence.

They're not???? They're the only US sr team not entered at John Nicks IPC. Seems like the USFS decided to send them to this for their first event of the season instead. Lombardia and OQE entries won't be out until next week.

Lol, okay my bad, I could swear I saw them on the John Nick's roster and was like WTH??? It's been a long Monday (that's my only excuse!!!)

I haven't heard about any official live streams other than the ones for people who subscribe to the TV Asahi channel in Japan.

Osaka is 13 hours ahead of EDT.

 

[maureenfarone]

It looks like Women SP is 1515 (3:15 p.m.) on September 5 in Japan which according to World Time Buddy is 2:15 a.m. on September 5 ET in the U. S.

Osaka is 13 hours ahead of EDT.

Yes, if you live on the East Coast, the easy way is switching day and night and then add 1 hour (when the summer daylight saving time is over, add 2 hours).

This X account has been uploading some of the videos for Women SP pretty quickly.

Women's results

Whoa, Schizas, and who the hell is Sena Saki Miyake?

 

[Sedge]

Miyake makes her first Sr international appearance at Kinoshita in eight years, I believe,She has strong elements, is good across the ice and has lovely spins. She also has a 3A. She will make a strong case this year for a spot at the Olympics. There was a vid circulating of her earlier outing this year. She impressed in that performance.

Women's results

Whoa, Schizas, and who the hell is Sena Miyake?

Here is a link to bio: https://isu-skating.com/figure-skating/skaters/saki-miyake/ Her first name is Saki.

Sena skated as a senior man for JPN in 2022.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Looking at the protocols, Schizas and Miyake were the only two clean protocols, with Schizas getting +GOE for every mark! Miyake got 1’s and 0’s on the 3Lz, but multiple +4’s on four elements and one +4 on a fifth.

For the Men, Hiwatashi and Ma got no -GOE marks, with Ma having only one 0. Rakic (in 10th) got one -1. Tsuboi got no credit for the solo jump 2T, but got no -GOE marks on the rest.

ETA: Miyake will turn 23 in November, wow.
