2023 World Junior Men's Short Program

[yesterday]

Great performances from the boys this day/evening/night haha I'm not sleepy at all

And all of this without Mélenchon

 

[yesterday]

Whoa whoa....wait, why is Kao doing junior worlds?

Cause JPN has looots of good skaters and he wasn't "good enough" at Nationals

 

[moonvine]

So I have a question…can you use Senior comps to get your SB for Junior Worlds? Because I think Sofia has skated Seniors all year?

 

[moonvine]

I know Lucas has more years left in Juniors but with all the other US men other then Ilia so inconsistent the podium is wide open with the US men so why not get an early start for 2026. He could make some noise starting next year.

Because one of those spots is for Jimmy.

Who is Mélenchon?

 

[yesterday]

Who is Mélenchon?

Don't get me started

so I see you missed the girl's SP thread?

I love Kao but idk what to feel about 4cc gold medalist competing in junior worlds tbh I feel like younger Japanese men should have been given a chance to prove themselves here . Like Takeru who is in his final junior year, a good result here could have helped him to get a GP spot next season.

 

[CoyoteChris]

I am here for Kao

 

[snowflake]

GO Wesley!

They want to make sure they get 3 spots (only two this year) and Kao will do that.

My understanding is no, Junior minimums have to be earned in juniors. Someone correct me if I’m wrong

I didn’t think Sofia competed any juniors this year. I’ll ask her mom.

So then one can compete in juniors and seniors at the same time? Because some are going to Junior and Senior worlds?

He's aiming for Lambiel.

Wesley worked hard to get that combo after the hands down on the lutz he was someone I was very worried about but he did well

Sure, JGP.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Because Japan is so desperate for the third spot that they’re willing to stoop to doing something incredibly tacky. That’s why.

 

[ana]

A small mistake, but the rest of the programme was perfect. Well done Wesley!

 

[auser]

Such a pretty skate from Wesley with level 4stsq. I love how expressive he is with the music. Wish @4everchan was here.

I suggest to send him and Rakhat Bralin to the hairdresser's together
