2024 World Junior Championships Women's Free Skate

[EdgeCall]

Great skate by Jana. Very energetic, maybe a bit wild.

I think that’s why the ISU wants to go down to 6 jumping slots, to increase the need for a triple triple.

Didn't know that. I don't like this idea. There are other ways to make a 3-3 needed.

 

[yelyoh]

No, only 12th, because if you make the FS (Josephine), it counts as 16 points.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Go Gurgenidze!

 

[zebobes]

That would mean that she has done it. She's second with ten to come. The 55 PCS certainly helped a lot ...

Unfortunately, this will have a big effect on JGP spots next year though.

Also, it looks difficult for Lulu to move up for Canada to keep two spots.

 

[yume]

I guess Inga jumped a clean 3A this season if she puts two in her FS, but bad strategy to try a 2nd after falling on the first one.
Nice lutz.

I like this program for Inga, she skates very intensely and so the music matches. I would have liked a little more energy in her choreo sequence though. Her 3As are gorgeous when she hits them, but tonight they weren't quite firing.

 

[lileychristie]

Interesting 3A+COMBO+2T.... Means she lost a combo but at least she didn't get a +REP?

 

[YuBluByMe]

It was gutsy to go for the second 3A after the first one didn’t work out.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Also, it looks difficult for Lulu to move up for Canada to keep two spots.

Canada keeps 2 spots, thanks to Inga.

 

[lileychristie]

Great night so far except for 3A ey

 

[EdgeCall]

Sorry ladies, Rinky has reserved all 3As for himself today.

Oh no, not again ...

DRESS SO PRETTY . I feel like 3As are a little cursed tonight. Yuseong is such a pleasant skater to watch, even though she had some of the scrappy landings that plagued her sister as well. Korea will likely lose some JGP spots though, which is such a shame because their field is so deep and the skates today don't reflect the quality that the Kim twins have shown in the past. She and Yujae finished back-to-back.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Oh lord Yuseong.... please tell me that it's not going to be so bad that we lose 3 spots

 

[EdgeCall]

What a pity. Yuseoung has one of the most aesthetic programs of the season. The dress alone is a treat for the eyes. Were it not for the falls ...

 

[hermine17]

Very pretty dress.

 

[lileychristie]

I never thought Korea would be at risk of losing their 3 spots here
It's going to be tight....

Oh dear gods we have so much new junior talent coming up including the two Jiyus we need all the JGP spots...

 

[TallyT]

That is a gorgeous dress - if points were awarded for that, the Korean girls would again sweep the board. And I unabashedly love the Lark even if I love other RVWs more.

Goooooo Rena!
