2016 World Junior Short Dance

[cathlen]

Italian's costumes are beautiful except for her red gloves, who are a little bit too distarcting.

 

[invisiblespiral]

Well, I'm temporarily back.

L/L-G!

 

[cathlen]

New PB for Russians, nice

 

[TMC]

I find the Koreans just absolutely delightful

Also, skating to my favourite opera always gets an automatic +5 points from me!

I also like them

 

[cathlen]

Very nice lift in the end I like these siblings

 

[daphenaxa]

yeah i really liked the Koreans and their costumes were lovely too.

Those Canadians though I gotta say I am not a fan.

 

[MsLiinaLii]

Shpilevaya/Smirnov have amazing potential al- lovely lines, expression, seem to be quite consistent. I think next season they will be one of the frontrunnera since many teams may go senior)

 

[Sackie]

P/B Next! Expect them to take the lead with around 61 points!

WOW - Didn't expect them to not get a SB here. USA teams usually show up very prepared for these big events and usually score SBs.

 

[Sackie]

And it looks like the CAN teams will end up in 9, 10 and 11th place. So it looks like at least one of them should stay in the top 10 after the free.

I don't think this is unique to US teams- many if not most teams post their SB scores late in the season at Worlds or Euros or 4CCs. I personally did not think they'd be able to beat L/LG- they just are not at quite that level yet I don't think. Fortunately there's always next year.

Looks like tulosai guessed right & in order to qualify to FD you need 42 points

Well, 42 *is* the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything, so... :agree:

 

[Giselle]

L/LG still leading! No SB, maybe the judges are stricter than at JGPs

 

[sk8dc]

Why did Pogrebinsky look so upset after their dance? I didn't see any mistakes. Anyone else?

 

[cheerknithanson]

I'm going to take deep breaths now. Getting very nervous.

 

[tulosai]

I'm going to be cheering for Popova and Vlasenok! One of my fave junior teams

 

[Alex D]

I think that was quite enjoyable so far. Lot´s of pairs with good twizzles and speed, nice ice coverage and good balance. Sara and Giona showed lovely how a pair has to look like on ice, an even partnership and even if she is in the spotlight, he kept his cool and presence.

Italian dancers do that so well all the time, the man always presents his lady and she has that fire and joy in every motion of her.

 

[tulosai]

Crazy program is crazy and has not grown on me this season, but I do like how clear and crisp every movement this team makes is.

 

[TMC]

I adore this programme - but that lift was over 6 seconds if it was one second I'm sure
