Does someone know when approximately the last group will skate on the Eastern time?! thanks!

 

[demarinis5]

The LP begins at 6:30 a.m. EST. I would guess that the final six would skate probably starting at about 8:30 a.m. EST.

That's a link to the detailed starting times for each skater. They kept right on schedule today for the SP, despite the 10 groups! So that's probably a pretty good estimate of tomorrow's schedule too.

The last group actually skates from 9:30 to 10:20 EST. Where I am this week, which is Utah, it starts at 7:30, but I'm definitely getting up early to watch it, Saturday or not!
I'm so excited about this junior worlds! Ladies figure skating is getting so exciting. Next year's GP series, National's, and World's will all be so exciting, and of course there's the 2010 Olympics.

I'm sooo excited for manana!! Here's to hoping Caroline repeats as junior champion!!

Will Caroline be capable of handling the pressure and prove that speed isn't everything?

Will Rachael, who is sometimes regarded as the least elegant of the three, overwhelm her critics with an elegant, seven triple program?

Will Mirai continue her golden season with another gold here, at Sophia, or will she be bombarded with downgrades?

I can't even come up with a prediction...How exciting!

 

[Wrlmy]

Wow, if they all repeat their nationals performances, Rachael might with overall this time! Good luck to all ladies!

 

[Bennett]

I feel that Mirai may be advantaged because she is used to the Junior program whereas Caroline has been in Senior throughout the year. I hope that Caroline has already overcome stress due to the missing shoes. It would be exciting if Flatt wins. She may take it as she was very strong at LP at nationals and Mirai doesn't necessarily have a huge lead. I am also hoping that Nishino can get on the podium but perhaps next year.

Of the above list, I did not see Myriane Samson, so I can not opine there.

All of these ladies were faulty but a few have real talen to move up.in years to come. I think Miriam Zisegler (Austria) has the most talent followed by Katarina Gerboldt (Russia) who, imo, is the most beautiful woman in figure skating., and unfortunately, Stefania Berton (Italy) talented but not then.

Next group up will be le creme but not the creme de la creme

Good skate from Mirai but a few baubles.

Good enough for first place. Yeah!

 

[Joesitz (RIP)]

The group all looked about the same.

La Fuente - needs something to get her moving. She has good technical.
NaHe Sin -much too youngish
Suizi - What do the judges not see. She's quite good.
Helgesson - Needs to ride out those jumps
Leonova - at her best but I prefer Gerboldt
Hecken - a budding Witt. She needs a makeover.

Was it a good skate for Mirai? Her tech marks were ten points lower that her marks last year at Jrs.

[carolinefan177]

Was it a good skate for Mirai? Her tech marks were ten points lower that her marks last year at Jrs.

It was pretty good, but she didn't do her 3-3, and I think the initial part of the combination was downgraded along with another 3Lz later in the program (plus a step out).

 

[beep_beep]

Not really. She didn't fall but had a couple of wobbles, sterpping out on jumps, almost fell on the biellman (!). But you know, a "bad" skate for Mirai is still really good. Her expression was wonderful as usual...

 

[yelyoh]

Thanks folks.

 

[kalle]

Well, not one of Mirai's best skates...she looked so disapointed!So much pressure for these young girls.I still think she will "win" the bronze medal and come back stronger and more experienced next season
Hope Rachel and Caroline can hold it together!!Go girls!

 

[beep_beep]

Glebova in eight !!????

 

[demarinis5]

Glebova in eight !!????

Yeah that surpised me.

 

[Joesitz (RIP)]

That Jenni Vahaama is one beautiful skater no matter how she is placed. She does not go after the audience. The audience goes after her and that's what happebed to m.e.

Wouldn't you know icenetwork goes dark before the scores.
