Enero February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 I think the Japanese skater is too young to skate to Moonlight Sonata. I always think of GG when I hear this music and what it meant to them and their career as skaters. The music doesn't really suit her IMHO, but she skated very well and should be ahead of Tennell IMO.
