Just realised that Saho qualified for the FS. Good job!

 

[RatedPG]

Wishing Mao luck

With the other two contenders Rena and Ami not doing well, I would like the fave to solidify her position.

Earlier in the season I really thought the juniors this year would have a clear 1, 2, 3: Mao, Ami and Rena (with Rena maybe having a chance to go above Ami). But this competition shows us that you never know.

I know. Me too. I thought the World Junior team was locked. You can never take any competition for granted.

I apologize for any mistakes with elements for the the final group of girls
I had the Espoo Men's FS streaming, muted on another device mostly to see how Shun and Kao did
I'm gonna go enjoy their performances properly now, then I'll start working on video
I'm thinking about uploading all the performances so it might take me awhile~

 

[hermine17]

Not a single one of the jgp finalists in the top 3. I think Mao should still be able to win the competition pretty easily unless she has a meltdown in the FS, but Ami will have a tough job getting on the podium.

On a brighter note, I am happy to see Ikura and Ayumi leading (I adore them both). An especially nice revenge for Ikura.

When Kinayu returned to the junior category I thought she was practically killing her chances of making it to the senior nats, but now it actually looks like she has a chance to finally go. I want her to make it so badly (I'm sure she wants to go the same major competition where she watched her big sister skate. It will be so nice if Kinayu qualifies the first year of Yuhana's absence). But Ami is below her and I need her to place well too. And I want my baby Yurina to make it with all my heart. Arrrrrg.

 

[RafaelAstro]

It appears Ayumi and Ikura are back

I usually list the SP video by results but decided to list all events by skate order instead

For those who aren't usually as interested or familiar with the boys, I'd say to at least give the Novice and first season Juniors a look

Kono grew up so much!

 

[Remilia]

I hope Rena is able to make it onto the podium not worried about Mao, but she should probably ditch the quad if she doesn't wanna risk losing the gold
