Warsaw Cup Senior Ladies SP: Results; Protocols

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxPgdgDzEbs

Jenni finished 2nd out of 29 in the SP, with a score of 68.71.

Here is what I wrote in the competition thread at the time:


I really don't know what I can add to that. What I said at the time speaks for itself.

Looking at the protocols, the judges couldn't find fault with anything. There was not a single minus in her box.

Jenni is currently 0.53 points behind the leader, Maiia KHROMYKH (RUS), and 3.79 points ahead of 3rd position, Niina PETROKINA (EST). Jenni is also 5.68 points ahead of Nicole SCHOTT (DEU).

I don't want to get ahead of myself, but Jenni has a very good shot at winning the Warsaw Cup.

Oh, boys but I hope she has another beautiful skate in the Free!

WELL DONE JENNI!!!

Warsaw Cup Senior Ladies: Results

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dxKISVUduE

Jenni finished 16th out of 29 in the FS, with a score of 96.14. This meant that she dropped to 9th place overall, with a score of 164.85.

Here is what I wrote in the competition thread at the time:


It started off alright with Double Axel-Triple Toe combination. But, then it turned into a nightmare. She fell on her Triple Flip. Then she fell on her Triple Lutz. In her next element, the Triple Toe-Double Toe combination, she had a double hands down on the first jump, and didn't have a great landing on the second jump.

Then we had a moment of brightness, when she did a beautiful Double Axel. But it went back to the horror story. She fell on her first Triple Salchow. Then she singled out her second Triple Salchow. Needless to say, she wasn't able to put a combination onto either of them. By the second Triple Salchow, you could see her heart just wasn't in it any more.

For the rest of the programme, it was spins. And for the most part, these went fine. She was a bit wobbily on the Flying Sit Spin, which prompted Judge 4 to give her a -2. But the others were kinder, giving her 1's and 0's.

All in all, a programme that I hope she forgets about. But, I can tell you something. When it is done clean, it will be absolutely beautiful. It is beautiful music, and Jenni is a beautiful skater.

Jenni finished the Free Skate in the middle of a tight group of 3 skaters who were covered by just 0.48 points. Anastasia GOZHVA (UKR) was 0.44 points ahead of Jenni, while Taylor MORRIS (ISR) was 0.04 behind her. Ahead of Gozhva there were 4.08 points to Gabriella IZZO (USA) in 14th, and behind Morris there were 2.50 points to Niki WORIES (NED) in 18th.

Overall, Jenni finished 4.40 points behind her Finnish team-mate, Emmi PELTONEN in 8th, and 3.38 points ahead of Kristina ISAEV (DEU) in 10th.

We have now reached Day 2 of the Finnish Championships, which means that Jenni and the other Senior Ladies will be starting her campaign this afternoon.

The Senior Ladies SP is due to start at 16:10:00 EET (14:10:00 GMT). So 8 hours from now.

Jenni will be the 13th skater to start. So, fourth skater to go in Group 3 (and fourth to go after the resurfacing).

She is due to start at 17:49:35 CET (15:49:35 GMT). So 8h 39m from now.

But, those times may change if somebody that is due on before her withdraws.

A rather artistic (blurry?) photograph of Jenni in the SP today.

European Championships Ladies SP: Results; Protocols

No video uploaded

Jenni finished 19th out of 36 in the SP, with a score of 58.93.

Here is what I wrote in the competition thread at the time:


The other kid of mine that I was referring to in that statement was Aleksandra GOLOVKINA (LTU), who would eventually end up as the final qualifier for the Free Skate.

Although Jenni would soon lose the lead to Anastasiia GUBANOVA (GEO), it would be another 11 skaters before anybody else got ahead of her.

Now that I have looked at the protocols, there isn't really anything I can add to my initial comments. As expected, the Triple Salchow drew minuses all round. But, everything else was positive.

Jenni is currently in an Estonian sandwich! She is 0.23 points behind 15th position, Eva-Lotta KIIBUS, and 0.63 points ahead 17th position, Niina PETROKINA. They are part of a much larger group that stretches from Viktoriia SAFONOVA (BLR) in 8th position, 4.14 points ahead of Jenni, down to Regina SCHERMANN (HUN) in 22nd position, 4.50 points behind Jenni. And, although there is a bit of a gap, the final two skaters are within 2 points of Schermann. So, basically, anybody could finish anywhere!

So, here's hoping for a good Free Skate!

WELL DONE JENNI!!!

Olympics Ladies SP: Results; Protocols

No video uploaded yet

Jenni finished 25th out of 30 in the SP, with a score of 56.97.

Here is what I wrote in the competition thread at the time:


Fortunately, Jenni did qualify for the Free Skate. Although, when going through the results table at the end of the broadcast, Simon Reed was still confused with what was happening. So, I posted the following in response:


Now that that is all cleared up, let's get back to Jenni's Short Programme.

She had a shakey start. The opening element was a combination. But, she didn't have a great landing on the first part of it and, as Simon said in commentary, it was actually a "Triple Toe-Triple Toe with an extra turn in the middle". Chris Howarth elaborated explaining that "her weight wasn't over the right side on that first one, so there was nothing she could do apart from put that turn in between them". The Judges didn't like it, with five of them giving her -1, and the other three giving her -2. In terms of GOE, she was given -0.54.

It was the next element, the Salchow, that was the most costly. She had a pop, which resulted in her doing a Double rather than the required Triple. It was invalidated, so she got absolutely nothing for it.

Jumps getting invalidated because there were not enough rotations is one thing I really hate about the rules. At least give the skaters points for what they did manage to do! The Base Value for a Double Salchow is 1.30 points. Yes, Jenni would have got minus GOE and minus marks from the Judges because it wasn't a great Double Salchow because of the pop. But, at least she would have been getting something.

Anyway, after that everything was beautiful. And the GOE and the marks from the Judges reflected that. Lafge positive GOE on everything, and lots of +2's and +3's from the Judges. Judge 8 even gave her a +4 for her third element, the Flying Sit Spin. And she got extra credit for her fourth element, the Double Axel, because it was in the second half of the programme.

Jenni is currently 2.11 points behind 24th position, Ekaterina KURAKOVA (POL), and 4.57 points ahead of 26th position, Josefin TALJEGÅRD (SWE).

As Jenni is the last to qualify for the FS, it is the gaps ahead of her that matter. And after the initial gap to Kurakova, it is very tight. There is just 2.74 points covering 16th position, Ekaterina RYABOVA (AZE), to Kurakova in 24th position. Ryabova is 4.85 points ahead of Jenni.

So, if Jenni puts in as good a Free Skate as we know she is capable of, there is potential to move significantly up the order.

WELL DONE JENNI!!!

Jenni finished 25th out of 25 in the FS, with a score of 96.07. This meant that she remained in 25th place overall, with a score of 153.04.

Here is what I wrote in the competition thread at the start of the segment:


And here is what I wrote in the competition thread after Jenni skated:


For the benefit of those that were not watching the Junior Ladies competitions at the Winter Star in Minsk last week, Irish skater Elizabeth Golding started her SP with falls on her first 3 elements. And then in the FS, she had a stumble on her first element, a fall on her second, and 2 more falls later on in the programme. So, you can understand why she popped into my head during Jenni's Olympic Free Skate.

Jenni's first fall was on the Triple Flip. Understandably, she got big minus GOE and -5's from all the Judges. The problem is that it was supposed to be a Triple Flip combination. So, when she immediately tried again and fell again, that meant that she had a repeated element. She did manage to get it round to the correct quarter, but that wasn't enough to avoid getting the same minus GOE.

Although she stayed upright on her third element, the Triple Lutz, she didn't have a great landing. She landed it on the correct quarter, but got minus GOE and minus marks from all the Judges (although, fortunately, not as big as she got for the falls).

The fourth element, the Double Axel-Triple Toe combination, was clean. But, that was followed by her third fall, which was on a Triple Toe on it's own. And because this was the third fall, she got an extra point in deductions, because the ISU like to rub salt in the wound whenever somebody is having a disaster skate (thank you to @Princessroja for reminding me of that rule).

After that, things went more smoothly. She even got credit for doing her Double Axel-Double Toe combination in the second half. But, the damage had already been done.

Jenni finished the Free Skate 4.08 behind 24th position, Alexandra FEIGIN (BUL). Overall, she finished 6.27 points behind Feigin.

And if you are wondering what happened to Ekaterina KURAKOVA (POL), who started the day off 2.11 points ahead of Jenni, she had a VERY good Free Skate, climbing from 24th in the SP to 12th in the FS and overall.

This Free Skate is not how Jenni will want to have ended her Olympic debut with. However, she doesn't have to wait long until she has a chance to have a redemption skate. She is on the Provisional Entry List for the Challenge Cup, which will be held next week in Tilburg, the Netherlands.

So, hopefully things will go much better next time we see her.

Jenni will be back in action this week at the Challenge Cup.

Please be aware that when the broadcast ends, the stream goes private, and is no longer able to be viewed.

The Senior Ladies SP is due to start at 15:30:00 CET (14:30:00 GMT / 16:30:00 EET). So 9 hours from now.

Jenni will be the 2nd skater to start.

Challenge Cup SP: Results; Protocols

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48mj7O2TLL4

Jenni finished 3rd out of 16 in the SP, with a score of 57.48.

Here is what I wrote in the competition thread at the time:


Looking at the protocols, they agree with what I said. She got minuses all round for the first two elements (THe Triple Toe-Triple Toe combination that she fell on, and the Triple Salchow), but there were no minuses for all her subsequent elements. Well, her Layback Spin got three 0's from the Judges, and four +1's. But everything else was in the +2's and +3's, with her Double Axel even getting a +4 from Judge 7 (that was the jump I said was absolutely beautiful).

In terms of GOE, the aforementioned Layback Spin only got +0.4, but every thing else got over half a point added on. And, yes, the Double Axel got the most, with +0.99 GOE. It also got extra credit for being in the second half.

Jenni is currently 0.98 points behind 2nd position, Júlia LÁNG (HUN), and 2.61 points ahead of 4th position, Lindsay THORNGREN (USA). Lindsay is actually at the head of a group where 10 skaters are covered by 4.64 points. This stretches down to Jade HOVINE (BEL) in 13th position. The leader, Rino MATSUIKE (JPN) is out of reach, being 15.75 points ahead of Júlia and 16.73 points ahead of Jenni.

Oona OUNASVUORI, who is one of the skaters battling with Jenni to get the Finnish slot at Senior Worlds, is in the middle of that big group. She is in 8th position, 5.83 points behind Jenni.

If Jenni has a good Free Skate, she has very good chance of getting ahead of Júlia. HOWEVER, Jenni's main priority in the Free Skate must be to make sure she stays ahead of Oona.

WELL DONE JENNI!!!
