Thread: Why Marin Honda was robbed at the 2017 junior world championships. An extensive look at the most masterful and exquisite romeo and juliet program we as mere mortals have ever been graced with.
Part 1: The beginning
Opening choreo to the music, making crossovers look like the most beautiful & graceful thing ever, the simple yet effective entrance that goes with the music, the lutz, and the choreo to finish off the phrase of the music. BRILLIANCE ALL AROUND +1012983 GOE.
Part 2
Hitting her combos (cry), again with amazing phrasing... the first spin taking up one phrase, the simple yet effective choreo after the spin into the second spin... which I adore esp how she exits the spin into the ONLY VALID KISSING YOU STSQ.
Part 3: The step sequence
Marin Honda's step sequences speak for themselves... Beautiful, elegant, graceful, never been done before!!!
Part 4: THE TRIPLE SAL THE TRIPLE FUCKING SAL!!!
Landing the triple toe on the entrance of the piano. Her mind. And then... the most beautiful element of all time... Her triple sal. THE TURNS ON THE NOTE CHANGES, THE CHANGE OF EDGE, THE ACTUAL JUMP, THE EXIT. DESERVED +102938 GOE
Part 5: DRAMA ENDING!!!
The spiral with that chord into the loop is my 2nd fave jump in this program. Building the drama with landed jumps, and landing them on key moments in the music. DRAMA HANDS. THE RELIEF ON HER FACE WHEN SHE HIT HER FINAL COMBO. DRAMA ENDING POSE.
IN CONCLUSION, this performance deserved all the points as in my correct and humble opinion she deserved WAY FUCKING MORE THAN 62 IN PCS!!!!!!!! ROBBERY!!!!!! EXPLAIN!!!!!!!!!! ISU JUDGES EXPLAIN!!!!!! HOW CAN YOU ATONE FOR YOUR SINS???????
In all seriousness, this program is everything I love in skating, and she is genuinely SO GOOD. Everything about it is about making things simple yet effective as I've said multiple times in this thread. AND SHE EXECUTES IT so goddamn well. The robbery. THE ROBBERY! THE! ROBBERY!
