Been (officially) around the BlueSky block for just about a day now and it feels like the figure skating ⛸️ presence here is already stronger and more enthused than the one on Threads. Hope this continues 🙏

Reflecting on my first Japan Nationals, it’s such a privilege to cover this sport. I’m thankful to all the athletes for always pouring their hearts out. It’s a vulnerable place, but this is also why you have a special place in our hearts.

ありがとうございました 🙏

2A, 3F, 3Lz2T, 3S, 3F(ur?)3T, 2A3T2T, 3Lo - a bit of a heartstopper on the takeoff of that 3F but that was done, will see about the call, but this should be title #6 for Kaori Sakamoto

3A, 4T(ur,fall), 3Lz3T, 3S3T, 3F2A2A, 3Lo, 3Lz - jumps were better than they've been in runthrus, but the first half of that program felt small for what she's used to, maybe because she was conserving energy
