2024 World Junior Championships Men's Free Skate

[lileychristie]

Has Matias grown? At national qualifications he had back issues and could not take part in the free and now the jacket looks small.

He definitely looks taller and more mature than at the JGP few months ago!

It was ages ago when a Finn boy made it to free so I would give +points to Matias.

I'm going to be hearing this music ("The March Of The Torreadors") again this afternoon.

For those that don't know, it is played for the champagne spraying during the Podium Ceremony after the Formula 1 races. And the first race of the 2024 season is being held today.

The youngest of the Lindfors siblings goes into 11th in the FS, and 10th overall.

Oh god, this bit of Carmen was used for a garage door ad years ago that no one who heard it will ever ever ever forget....

Wait what? I don't remember this?

I only remember the beer ad to Carmina Burana which to this day means I can't quite take any skating program to that music seriously.

 

[TT_Fin]

I have some studies and will miss some of the next skaters but should make it back before the final group.

I'm probably older than you and I was young but "use a Rolladoor, that's what it's for, you'll get much more with a Rolladoor" will be going through my head ALL NIGHT. But yep, Big Beer was one of the best ads of all time, anywhere.

There's actually quite a lot of classical music I sometimes find myself giggling at at the wrong moment, I blame Victor Borge, Anna Russell and Gerard Hoffnung...

It's ice resurfacing so no big deal but I switched to the ISU stream (SBS Sports brought commentators and they speak during the program) and it's showing a black screen, hope it goes away when the skating resumes

 

[Ichatdelune]

Jaekeun please go clean and let's try to get in the top 10 with some luck we might get 3 spots (which would help me cheer up from yesterday's bitter disappointment)

 

[readernick]

This warmup group is a bit funny. They all look very mature for juniors and then you have Jaekeun. But, better skating quality than the previous group.

Jaekeun just landed a beautiful 3A! Lots of good 3As in the warm-up!

If the Japanese boys aren't able to earn max JGP spots for next season, it'll be payback for JSF wasting so many spots this season.
If they're going to pull their skaters from JGP events they should at least have the courtesy to do it in time to give another country the opportunity to use that spot

That said, praying for Shunshun and Rio

 

[moonvine]

Go Daniel!

 

[Ichatdelune]

I was wondering why Kakiuchi Haru, who notably does not have a 3A, was sent so I checked Japanese junior nationals results and wow Japanese junior men, aside from the top 2, are not as in full swing as I thought?

 

[4everchan]

it's hard to stay awake with sadboi music

Daniel splatted while just skating around, keen to be Yanhao's next victim apparently

 

[4everchan]

oh oh.. daniel doesn't know the rules,... not allowed to do two axel sequences

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Fall on a quad, random splat but lands two nice 3As, and doing two jump sequences when you're only allowed one... classic junior men

 

[Ichatdelune]

Splat count: 7 (including random fall)

it will start getting harder... SP advantage + PCS bonus from last flights

 

[readernick]

Daniel looks at his mom everytime he makes a mistake. It's clear she's his source of comfort and reassurance. It's kind of cute.
