Ouch for Shelepen...at this point either Baga or Shelepen will be in the penultimate group.
No deductions for Shelepen, guess she must have messed up her combo or something? So excited for Anna and Kanako! Go Kiri!

1F and 3Lz-3T (3T was downgraded) (((
Yeah, MosDef Anna has improved
at least she lands jumps now and she looks more mature than others.
However, I still think skaters like Kanako and Kiri have much better flow.
Anyway, I thought this would be Kanako vs. Polina S vs. Christina,
but now it's pretty much like Kanako vs. Anna.
Kanako has been very consistant and she has high PCS,
yet Anna still has a good chance if she skates like she did in her Nationals.
Good luck to both of them!
Wow, two highly touted US ladies beaten by Joshi Helgesson and Kate Charbonneau. Wakeup call?
Top 3
Anna OVCHAROVA is 90+
Murakami long program SB is 104+
Polina AGAFONOVA is 76+
Murakami has the gold in the bag. The other girls simply can't catch up.

Why is it a wakeup call that they placed behind those two other ladies? The US girls had errors, and their scores/placements reflect that. They are allowed to make mistakes, and mistakes in a SP are usually especially costly. I'm definitely not one to buy into the hype of Junior skaters, but some people practically want to write skaters off based on one short program of one junior competition.
Ovcharova's previous season's best for the short was 5 points below her score today. The stats are good for a general idea of the skater and his/her abilities, but especially in Jrs, they don't mean anything.
