This one goes out to the friend that tried to steer me gently away from oshi no ko (wish I listened to her, that was a waste of time) and told me to "read medalist next and join me in going crazy about the feasibility of a twelve year old who only started skating two years prior learning a quad salchow before doing a triple lutz"
Sounds promising
"It's cute tho!"

Wait. Why is he wearing MK dance if he's teaching her jumps. This doesn't make any sense.

This official translation is so difficult to read because the author clearly knows a lot of technical aspects of skating (I mean, look at those SOV calculations!) and even detailed drawings of traditional vs revolution blades but the translator is out here referring to boots as "skate shoes" in the same sentence as MK dance blades.
Tsurumaikada I know this ain't you, you're out here talking about specific brands.

I'm so confused by this math. SSpB is 1.1 and FSSpB is 1.7, this much is correct. But 1S is 0.4 and 2S is 1.3 so I'm confused as to what's going on here...?
Ok after looking closely it looks like they were planning to do a 2S instead of a 1A in the original PPC so yes, the math is correct but the logic is not. Why not use the 2S to replace the 1Lo? Well, she can't do a 2S that's why but this makes no sense already.

Listen... I'm obviously not familiar with level rules at Japanese domestic competitions but in Canada you definitely can't do double jumps in prelim 😂 it would just be ruled an illegal element.
