Wonderful indeed, I hope her jumps will start to get better too,
otherwise her skating is lovely.
And very sad to see Suguri competing this way, unless her forte, the
toe jumps are working 100%, she cannot hide the lack of the edge
jumps. No matter how much she loves competing, she should have
retired post Calgary.

they're saying. Of course there were the occasional phrases I did
understand: "double axel", "spiral sequence", "Take Five" (Fumie's
SP music), etc. <g>
