2018 Junior World Championships Ladies FS

Why are so many of these girls hitting the boards?

I've wondered that too. The skaters have gotten really close in the other disciplines too.

Good skate! Yes, Eunsoo definitely has the makings of a champion. Just needs to get those spins up to the next step. Go train with Lambiel for a while, that would do it.

Maybe the rink is smaller. Atleast that was the reasons commentators came up with Midori's scary near misses in the 90s.

 

[icybear]

Her arms when she's preparing to jump or between combos are so annoying. They're like 2 tree branches sticking out.

 

[EdgeCall]

Question for the regulation experts: If a skater uses the boards as support for his hands to avoid a fall, shouldn't it count as a fall anyway?

 

[lavenderblossom]

Good skate for Eunsoo, mistake aside

Lord this group is terrifying. I'm not sure I want Trusova doing quads on this ice but then she goes and lands 2 in warmup

 

[Warwick360]

Sucha a lovely performance, sans the 3 L. And too bad about the hitch on the step sequence. But still looking very promising. :thumbsup:

Every rink was too small for Midori! If she were alive today, I bet she'd be the first to get the quad axel heh.

That ending pose slayed me!!

 

[lavenderblossom]

I fear for Konstantinova.
I want her to do well so at least the 3rd spot wasn't totally wasted and she can go up to seniors already.

 

[icybear]

Not Anna Karenina

 

[xeyra]

Her first combo exemplifies what I dislike about Stasya's jumping...

 

[yoloaxel]

Kostantinova looks so messy :\ I don't like her skating at all

Nope, it's 30x60.

 

[Warwick360]

Ugh!!! No, girl, no. Not the Sotskova armbar hand over head.

 

[Step Sequence4]

She’s eking out these jumps

 

[Mista Ekko]

Not sure how old Kostantinova is

But her movement, flow and projection are not Junior at all :thumbsup:

 

[Warwick360]

Nope, it's 30x60.

I said maybe. I wasn't saying it with assurance.

 

[yoloaxel]

Also, after watching Evgenia literally flowing on the ice and skating her heart out, her AK is so underwhelming

I mean she is alive but perhaps a little too old to put Trusova in her place?
