Marin Honda (JPN): Faded | 2023 Japanese Nationals
marin on her last nationals:
"when i touched the ice surface, i was very thankful. since the warm-up, i saw many banners and realized how many people supported me. this gave me the strength to make it to the end.
i started skating when i was two years old, and i've made many experiences both in practice and competitions. the public practice was very hard, and i thought about changing the triple combination to a double. i'm very satisfied with my performance."
although marin was injured, she decided to not withdraw and give her last nationals (and likely her last competition) her very best. to the 2016 junior world champion and perpetual champion of hearts, thank you for everything!

10 CONSECUTIVE SENIOR NATIONALS PODIUM
6 SENIOR JAPAN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TITLES
I said multiple times that this award is worth basically nothing - giving Eteri Tutberidze the BEST coach award is 💀💀💀 - but also some of the nominees this time are questionable like Shoma's program as "most entertaining" I don't get it...love Shoma and I'd give him "most beautiful and intrigue program" but "entertaining"???
I don't think the ISU awards was a good idea, it won't make the sport more popular by giving out fancy awards that are just a popularity contest....
A small gif set of *that* part of Shoma's programs the past few seasons ⋆˙⟡♡
Happy birthday Shoma! Your skating is truly special and unmatched. Wishing you the best in your journey towards finding your self-satisfaction~ Hope you have a great year ahead of you! ⋆˙⟡♡
Grand Prix Final 2023 | Shoma Uno and coach Stéphane Lambiel's smiles after a fall during fs practice ♥
"Although I respect Stéphane's skating, I really like his personality. When it comes to figure skating coaches, as it was the case with Mihoko, it's not a business relationship, it's more like a relationship based on affection. I'm attracted to Stéphane's kindness towards students and the way I can feel his emotions." (x)
