Kinoshita Cup: Full Judging Breakdown & Early Olympic Signals for Figure Skating in 2026
Description
This week on Strictly Judging — we’re breaking down all four Figure Skating events at the 2025 Kinoshita Cup in Osaka.
I judged every program — Men, Women, Pairs, and Dance — using full IJS scoring. GOE, PCS, everything. No vibes-only scoring here. Just real numbers, real impressions, and a real look at how these early-season performances stack up.
We’ll talk:– The best skates and the biggest question marks– GOEs that made sense — and some that didn’t– PCS decisions worth side-eyeing– And how this event fits into the larger story: the Olympic race to 2026
