2023 World Junior Women's Short Program

I never mind a bit of local color Remember the Elvises and Ann Margarets at Skate America in Las Vegas?

The Elvises were wonderful! I remember being so excited when one of them picked up one of my stuffed animals back in 2019! xD

Noelle. Good skate and program. She is a fast spinner.

A great skate from Noelle shame the lutz landing caused her to only have to go for a 2t
One of Mikhailov few good programs this season.

Elivis picking up your animal. Interesting what we talk about in this forum

Hmm, Soho lower than Josephine?

URs? Josephine is currently a better all around skater. Both need more speed, as do all the other women in this group. They all lack speed/ energy in their programs. But, they are young so that's normal.

Nice! Really enjoyed her

Amy Evidente? She's former US ladies skater. Has coached Mirai Nagasu in the past.

Thank you!!

Imagine if Soho goes on to become a great skater and wins Nationals in 2026 yet can't go to the Olympics even though she will turn 17 during the Olympics. I feel the ISU should have kept the age eligibility at 16 something about a skater being 17 yet can't go burns me.

Ted, you got 3 annas in this group... that should make it easy for you

no red dresses in this group

Not to jinx this next Romanian skater, but her season's best is 34.25, if that holds than Soho Lee will be through after Ana Sofia skates.

and then what??? we would be looking at the women who are turning 16 during the Olympics and cannot go? At some point, the ISU had to draw the line... and that's all. Soho can become a great skater for 2030.

As long as he's keeping track of their nationalities

What can I say, I'm inordinately fond of the tradition of stuffed animal throwing. It's part of what makes figure skating different from every other sport; it's a creative way in which we can show our appreciation for the skaters.

For some reason I have subtitles on my feed and the subtitling is even farther off than Ted is!

And I can’t figure out how to turn it off, either. Very distracting, especially in combination with the commentary
