Overall quite pleased with the baby pairs today -
Pacha/Derechowski, unfortunately, had an aborted lift that probably cost them the Jr Worlds minimums, but they skated very well otherwise. Rooting for them so hard to get those pesky minimums, they have come so close now, they just need to put it all together in one Free Skate.
The two new Czech pairs look good for very new pairs. Unfortunately, Zilkova/Becerra made a lot of errors today, but their pairs elements give me a lot of hope in their basic mechanics - They just don't seem to have the stamina and strength for a full Free Skate yet. Kviderova/Klement are the stronger singles skaters (their 2As are so solid) and skated better today, but it will be interesting to see both teams develop.
Wood/Lapsky skated about as well as they can at this point in their development. Their lifts still scare the sh*t out of me though
Congrats for achieving Jr Worlds minimums
