Time Schedule - http://www.isuresults.com/results/season2324/jgpjpn2023/time0203.pdf

Mao Shimada is scheduled to skate her SP at 17:03-17:09 in Osaka (4:03 am Eastern time).

It's a 4.5 hour long event (14:15 to 18:44 local / 1:15 to 5:44 am Eastern time).

 

[Frau Muller]

I want to see if Mia Kalin (US) is progressing with her in-betweens/skating skills. She skates in Gp 1…1:45am Eastern time zone (soon).

 

[Frau Muller]

“Event about to start”…can’t wait to see the crowds…supposedly a sell-out!

Uh..a lot of empty seats 50%? Maybe they’ll come in for Mao Shimada?

 

[Rukia]

Well I'm up ordering groceries so might as well watch these first few groups

 

[Amy L]

I got a bunch of housework done waiting for the start so I feel like a semi-functioning adult. However, my internet is going berserker, so it's a race between me and my connection for who will pass out first.

 

[Rukia]

Ruotang Li was so forward on the landing of her axel I thought she was going to fall forward, but she managed to pull it into a wonky landing instead. She's cute though. I think she needs a fun program.

 

[Frau Muller]

R. Li of China in an interpretive Memories. Pretty performer!

 

[Frau Muller]

Kaneshige of Thailand in Capriccio Espagnol - my kind of music! Other than one fall, good.

 

[Karen-W]

I slept a few hours and plan on watching the first group then probably going back to bed whenever I nod off. So far, this first group has been underwhelming. But, no Ted? Aces!

 

[Karen-W]

Sigh... Falling on the combo isn't going to get Mia anywhere near the podium. US junior women have been REALLY underwhelming this season.

 

[Frau Muller]

Kalin (US) fall on 3 flip…no combo…but some nice parts, incl flying sit spin.
Coach Vadim is not happy.

 

[Frau Muller]

Two lovely green dresses in a row (Mex, Swe)….

And now our modern “hit parade” coming up:

Eilish, then POTO! Noise cancellers! Mute button!

 

[Frau Muller]

Despite Eilish music, Tsai of Taipei skated cleanly earning all green blobs.

 

[Karen-W]

Despite Eilish music, Tsai of Taipei skated cleanly earning all green blobs.

She wasn't unpleasant at all, very much in spite of the music.

 

[Rukia]

lol poto is bad enough but even worse when you end in the middle of a phrase

 

[Karen-W]

I'll be really surprised if Rose's 3t+3t winds up without at least a q after the tech panel reviews.

ETA - Mark says the 2nd one is <.

 

[Frau Muller]

Theroux of Canada fabulous in her Poeta SP! Other than a small fault in combo, quite clean. Gorgeous long lines. A joy to watch.

 

[Frau Muller]

So far:

Tsai Taipei
Theroux Can
Kalin USA

 

[Amy L]

My dog started being hyper all of a sudden. When I told her to go back to bed, I'm pretty sure she telepathically called me a hypocrite for still being awake. I'm raising a brat.

Bandit ditched me about an hour ago. I'm sure she'll be up in my face, demanding attention, as soon as any skaters of note take the ice.

 

[Amy L]

I'm going to try to stay awake until Shimada. Sorry to the girls in groups 5 & 6 but I don't see anyone tempting enough in the roster.

 

[Frau Muller]

KUSHIDA of Japan was doing great in Red Violin/Aranjuez…until she banged into a barrier & fell. Shame, as the musicality & performance were great until then.

 

[Frau Muller]

Eilish? Almost the same whiny voice by Lorde…for Singapore’s skater.

 

[Frau Muller]

Next, Australia’s Hana Bath in Mozart’s Confutatis…which I don’t recall from Bangkok. Let’s see…

 

[Karen-W]

I'm going to try to stay awake until Shimada. Sorry to the girls in groups 5 & 6 but I don't see anyone tempting enough in the roster.

Heesue Han is the only one that is likely to shuffle up the final flight for the FS and I'd rather go back to sleep after the 4th group too and wake up in time to see the last flight of the Men's FS before work (well, really, the first flight of men at ACI is the last thing I'll watch with undivided attention before work).

 

[Frau Muller]

HANA BATH OF AUSTRALIA MAGNIFICENT!!! Clean - all greens. Full of emotion to Mozart. Total joy.

 

[Karen-W]

Hwang - this music feels too big for her. Oh, and the bird sounds totally woke up Bandit and now she's staring at the TV, lol.

 

[Frau Muller]

Hwang of Korea delectable to the Alexander s/t!!!!! Unusual with bird sounds but lovely.

The dress & hair accessory of the night!!!!

 

[Frau Muller]

So far:

Kushida
Tsai
Hwang
Bath
Theroux
Kalin…hangs on to top 6.
