I have never seen too much of Akiko, but she is great, but I really would love her
to be just a few hunderths of a point behind Yukari. But LOL at their identical PCS
poths
I really hope the podium here is the Japanese team for worlds! Whatever happens,
Akiiko deserves a spot. she's 23, has been knocking on the for years....give the girl a break.

Japanese ladies sweep the podium!! That's a big happy for the home crowd.
I love Yukari and kinda wish she had won silver, but v. v. v. happy for Akiko. The Japanese ladies are SO DEEP, it's going to be
difficult to choose only 3 for World team, but I like the 3 on this podium (no disrespect meant to Miki or Fumie).

Holy PCS Akiko! Can't believe she actually beat Yukari (who also rocked). Nationals is going to be veeery interesting.
Maybe the USFSA or Russian Fed should adopt the 4th and 5th place finishers at Japanese Nationals.

Suzuki teared me up a bit...from anorexia to winning a silver medal at home; it makes me a bit . Congrats to her!

OMG Suzuki's LP!!! She was absolutely incredible, what a performance!! I'm going to watch that again because that may well have
been my favorite ladies performance this year, just wow!
I hope she makes the World team. Mao is there for sure and I like Yukari and Miki a lot but pleeease let this girl make the team!

I hope she makes the World team. Mao is there for sure and I like Yukari and Miki a lot but pleeease let this girl make the team!
I loved watching Suzuki as well. She is a born dancer, her upper body is so fluid and her expression is captivating.
I wouldn't mind her making the world team along with Mao and Yukari, but I'd feel bad for Miki.
