The team did a good job but i don't feel the excitement for this team unlike in Team Philippines but congrats to all, every team work hard and tried their best anyways ✨
I fault the coach's choreography for the rear row, center girl falling when trying to get into her position (1:44) -- She had very little passageway and needed to do an awkward slide-and-back step to get to her position! Her recovery after that was so stunningly fast and good that I doubted my memory and eyes that a fall had happened! Kudos to her and the team for being awesome! I fault Summit for holding this event on the opposite side of the world from Japan -- These Japanese teams are seriously jet-lagging -- No wonder they seem a little disoriented after coming out of a spin or turn! Summit should alternate venues (Tokyo Disneyland?) every few years! But these girls were not fazed by their minor errors / issues and came out looking like the polished champions that they are! Cheers!
