Been almost a month since trying this and so far...have bigger skating community than wrestling community.
Love being a fan of pro wrestling (especially 🇯🇵 pro wrestling).
Love being a fan of figure skater.
Glad to be a part of Bluesky.
Hey everyone.
It's me...Sandy aka SRod_Princesa (on the former Twitter) aka mermaidsandy (on Tumblr) and aka sandyximene (on all other apps).
Trying this app since many are talking about it.
🙏🏾 it does good for me.
Forgot to mention.
The wildest thing about Alysa Liu (🇺🇲) winning the #GPFigure Final.
The fact she won without winning either the short program or the free skate.
🤯
Second in the short.
Third in the free.
The only 1 out of all winners to do that.
Truly insane.

Based on all I saw, either Alysa Liu (🇺🇲) or Ami Nakai (🇯🇵) will win Olympic gold come Milano.
Wild that up until last season, Kaori Sakamoto was considered to be the heavy favorite.
With Alysa returning last season and Ami moving up this season, feel like 1 of those 2 will be the Olympic champion.
December 6, 2025 at 1:22 PM
About this... anybody ready for Mao Shimada vs. Alysa Liu in the 2026-27 season?
Can only hope so.
🤯
Alysa plays the drum and basically proclaims she will keep competing after this season 😮😎 #GPFigure #GPF
December 6, 2025 at 1:16 PM
Have the wildest feeling that Kaori Sakamoto (🇯🇵) is going to medal in her final #GPFigure Final.
Mone Chiba (🇯🇵)... 2 falls early on... rebounded but... feel like those falls could cost her the gold and a spot on the podium.
December 6, 2025 at 1:08 PM
Wonderful free from Alysa Liu (🇺🇲) that I feel will take the lead with only Mone Chiba left to go.
Still waiting for that Lady Gaga free she's been planning this season.

Despite nearly falling on the Lutz, that was an awesome free skate from Ami Nakai (🇯🇵).
It's crazy that just last season, she was a Junior and so far in her first year as a international Senior is storming through.
She's so taking the lead with 2 to go.

After this is over, going to go to Netflix and watch as many episodes of the J-Drama "JIN' as I can.
Not going to be easy but will do my best.
Rinka Watanabe (🇯🇵) by just selecting this piece alone is convincing me to finish up this J-Drama.
December 6, 2025 at 12:46 PM
Still haven't given up my plea of Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kaori Sakamoto sharing either a skating rink or a wrestling ring together.
Less than a month until "Wrestle Kingdom 20".
🙏🏾 for it to still happen.

Redemption for Amber.
Barely any for Kaori.
Kaori Sakamoto (🇯🇵) was on a roll in her free until the popped axel late in the program.
I gasped when that happened.
How will that 1 mistake affect the overall performance?
🤷🏾‍♀️... about to find out.
#GPFigure

How do we start the Women's Free?
With redemption.
Amber Glenn (🇺🇲) just redeemed herself after what happened yesterday.
A fantastic free despite the 1 mistake late in the program.

The question was already answered.
Yuma didn't win but he is on the podium.
#GPFigure
During the free, looked at Yuma Kagiyama's profile (🇯🇵). Hasn't gone over 200 since winning silver at the Olympic Games back in 2022.
He knew he needed to top both Ilia and Shun and I feel that the mistakes late in the free are going to cost him.
How much... 🤷🏾‍♀️

Was he pressured?
No, he was not.
Shun Sato (🇯🇵) just performed a fantastic free skate.
That's 3 free skates in a row where all performed their best.
🤯
To me, Shun Sato matched Ilia Malinin in terms of the performance alone.
#GPFigure
December 6, 2025 at 11:49 AM
Feel like this was the Lord's doing.
Ilia Malinin (🇺🇲) coming into the free skate 3rd after the short and... just blew away the field.
7 quads in 1 program!!!
🤯
Going to storm back and most likely win #GPFigure Final for the third year in a row.
Shun Sato & Yuma Kagiyama still left to go.
December 6, 2025 at 11:41 AM
Many of us don't like him because of all the backstage stuff.
But, have to and need to admit... Daniel Grassl (🇮🇹) just performed his best free skate this season.
He is definitely going to Milano after that.

Fell asleep and missed both Free Dances for the #GPFigure Final.
Already know I can make up the Juniors on demand but in terms of the Seniors... 😭.
Really do need that VPN.

Late night here.
Tired but here for the #JGPFigure Final.
Pairs and Ice Dance to finish up and then... #GPFigure with the Dance and singles.
Last day of competition.
Let's go.
December 6, 2025 at 6:05 AM
Double duty done for the day.
#njwtl (aka World Tag League for pro wrestling) resumes on Sunday while the #GPFigure Final concludes 2morrow with the free Dance for both levels and the free skate for the Junior Pairs, the Senior Men, and the Senior Women.
December 5, 2025 at 1:06 PM
Crazy women's short where last year's winner is in last place as of right now.
More wild is who in is in the top 3.
While Mone Chiba and Alysa Liu were expected, Ami Nakai was not.
Truly bursting out in her first season as a Senior.
#GPFigure

The question has been answered.
For those who've yet to watch the short program, will refrain from answering this question until nightfall.
#GPFigure
We end today with Donna Summer as Mone Chiba just wowed Nagoya with her short program.
Will we end tomorrow with Donna Summer as well since Alysa Liu uses her music for her free?
About to find out.

Amber Glenn pops her 3A.
Kaori Sakamoto pops her 3Lz.
Just saw 2 short programs in which the first element was popped.
In the Senior Level, solo jump must be a triple or a double.
Singles do not count.
😔
#GPFigure
December 5, 2025 at 12:38 PM
Despite messing up her 3A, that was a fantastic short program from Ami Nakai (🇯🇵) and it's wild... this is her third trip to the #GPFigure Final but her first as a Senior after competing in the Junior Level the last 2 seasons.
She is truly wanting to be a favorite for Milan.
December 5, 2025 at 12:20 PM
Rinka Watanabe (🇯🇵) sets the pace for the women here in the short program in Nagoya.
Started off amazing but that mistake on the combo will be costly.
Welcome to the finals Rinka.

Judges made their decisions and despite the mistakes, Riku Miura/Ryuichi Kihara (🇯🇵) win the #GPFigure Final.
Riku and the coach were elated.
Ryuichi was in shock.
Think like me, even he thought they lost.
Again... judges made their choice.
Congrats to the winners and all the medalists.
Ryuichi messed up the sbs combination/sequence jump.
Riku double-footed the second throw jump.
Those mistakes may give Conti/Macii the #GPFigure title.
All up to the judges now.
