Yuzuru is soooo good. How amazing is it for a kid not yet 15 to be skating like he is, and to get such great results? :clap: I really hope Eurosport will show Junior Worlds again so that I don't have to resort to Youtube vids.

I wonder if both Hanyu and the Shibutanis will move up to senior next season. It makes sense in a post-Olympic year, though the Japanese men's field and the US dance field are very crowded. But in both cases I think we're looking at skaters who could challenge for podium placements at major events within a few years.

Convincing win for the Shibutanis! Seems like they are going to win everything in sight this season. How many more seasons are they juniors?

In the protocols for the FD, the Shibutanis have two elements that were not awarded any points. I know one of them is the optional lift, but what's Sp+TRANS and why was it given 0.00?

I'm confused by this as well. It seems like their final spin didn't receive any points?
Not sure what TRANS means, either (transitions/linking footwork? Not sure why that wouldn't be part of the PCS, though).
What's even more baffling is that that element wasn't even included on the Lake Placid protocol. :/

I would assume this is their last junior season. Maia will be of age for senior Worlds next year, so they should be moving up. I guess they didn't want to butt in there this Olympic season. They have plenty of time to develop in the next Olympic cycle.

When is the ladies long? Online feed anywhere?

In addition to having an optional, additional lift, dance teams can also have extra twizzles and another spin. Only the first one is called and given a score by the tech panel. The 2nd spin would be considered a transitional element.

It is transitional and the judges do take it into consideration when marking PCS.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them move up to Senior nationally next year, but I think they may stay Juniors internationally. Typically, that's how USFS teams do it. The current teams on the GP circuit include Belbin/Agosto, Chock/Zuerlein, Davis/White, Summersett/Gilles, Navarro/Bommentre, Hubbell/Hubbell, Samuelson/Bates.

If they moved up to Senior internationally next year, they'd either have to medal again at this years Junior worlds or be in the top 24 of the ISU world standings list. That would guarantee them 1 GP event. The US has an additional spot for Skate America that they can assign to anyone. For this year, that spot went to Chock/Zuerlein. It's really going to depend on where everyone ends up at the end of the season and if any teams decide to retire after the Olympics. They definitely have some options though.

Thank you so much for clearing this up, Tammi!! I understand now :yes:

:disapp: I have to say, it's somewhat of an upset not to see her here despite her inconsistencies.
