2023 World Junior Free Dance

[yesterday]

Missing @yesterday and their sword fighting emoji.

I think this is still good now, to honor the winners

They simplified their lifts, understandable given the falls at JGPF but the program is not as interesting anymore

Yeah I was waiting for the wonderful opening rotation lift and then that

gaaah can you all just stop talking about chicken?

interesting.. as they are all standing on the podium, the Canadians seem to be taller than the Czechs, i thought it would be the opposite... maybe it's the angle.

 

[4everchan]

I think it was Georgia, Italy and UKR. It was definitely 7 at "half time".

correct. I remember these three....

On ISU bios they declare

1.67 and 1.80cm for B/B
1.64 and 1.75 for M/M

I think Ted deserves a medal and flowers!

which is what it looked like on the podium... i always thought Peter was a shorter guy... he must be quite handsome at 180cm

thanks for always coming through with the info ! You are the best !

Gutted for Phebe and James! RObbed of the scores they deserve twice now

 

[CoyoteChris]

OK! Two mile power walk and barbequed chicken with real charcoal and fried potatos with bacon...beer and no margaritta...no time.

Welcome to figure skating. Actually, with dance, I just enjoyed the final flight...amazing performances...I will let the judges judge....I like the performance art....

 

[4everchan]

I think Ted deserves a medal and flowers!

i am picky with him on the names but then, he is a trooper... I am exhausted from watching all of this and i don't have to keep a smart and informative conversation, nor enthusiasm.. and i take mental breaks whenever (or fridge pauses) it's amazing how dedicated he is and how much stamina he has.

I am thrilled to see the US maintain their 3 spots in dance and pairs. I'm still in shock over the ladies but, I'll get over it. Come on Gents, you don't have to win, as long as you leave the ice with a smile.

 

[4everchan]

American judge : I am watching you....

BB in 5th (they finished 3rd)
Sandrine and Quentin in 9th (they finished 6th)


Leah and Artem in 3rd... (they finished 5th)
Jenna and Benjamin in 6th (they finished 7th.. so i guess that's not too far away)
Helena and Volodymyr in 7th, (they finished 9th)

 

[Sackie]

Wow - how obvious can one judge be.

I didn't know that Kai is half-Japanese from his mother which I did noticed the odd comments to him the he looked like Vincent Zhou during JGP Riga:

Wow, this was so exciting and fun to watch! We loved Cyprus’ team very much! Probably our favourites…and they were so friendly to mom’s toy distribution efforts.

And the top 5 were all so, so good. B/B were skating with such emotion, mom and I got really surprised they weren’t flooded with gifts, so we like tossed a silly little toy… and if I knew they and M/M wouldn’t be getting anything, I’d have bought giant stuffies!

Also, wow for the Korean team! Like goosebumps great!

I could feel how careful M/M were in the free but I totally get that and the synchronicity of their movements and closeness is incredible.

I can’t wait to see them all in the gala.

 

[lariko]

Forgot to add, the camaraderie on the podium was inspiring and uplifting.

Jean-Hans is still the weirdest name

John-John. Wasn't that Kennedy Jr's nickname? Or am I thinking of The Waltons. Back a few eons, I did my PhD in linguistics focusing on personal names. I could get an academic journal paper out of that kid's name, or a "Noted Names Note" at least.

 

[Diana Delafield]

Reminds me of Meryl and Charlie's Bollywood.

But with tackier costumes. Like Christmas trees decorated by the toddlers of indulgent parents who let them drape, hang, and stick on whatever wherever.

 

[Diana Delafield]

Wow! Korea
She is outstanding. So much confidence.
I like the program of Canadians more. But, the girl on this team makes me think this was a stronger free dance than the Canadians.

To get patriotically picky -- actually they're a team of Canadians representing the Korea of their ancestors/parents.
