Sorry, the top 3 will be based on the total for several events, and not just Jr Nats. Though not much things might change.

What an interesting championship.
I honestly think I prefer to watch a clean and well-executed program without any ultra-cs than a shaky program. (Petrova or labutina are good examples).
I was surprised by lidia’s 4S and even if she didn’t land it, it was very courageous.
But I was even more surprised by dzepka’s 4T. She was absolutely brilliant and she skates with such a maturity she could be senior.
Alisa is wonderful and it will be very challenging for Adelia next year. Too bad about the 4lz, it may have costed her the gold.
I don’t know what to think about Elena, she did great under pressure and deserves her victory but the performance itself had nothing to do with the one from sofia or Alisa. She was late, not with the music and not really interpreting it. It’s a shame to end the championship like that (especially since she’s usually a great performer).
Still happy with the winner but I’m just frustrated that Alisa never became junior champion.
Maybe next year senior champion ??

I see lot of great futur senior here. Dzepka or petrova would be amazing.
I appreciate more and more petrova.
Alisa became consistent recently and I think that’s better than at a younger age, I see her maintaining her jumps.
Lidia is the kind of skater who can jump ultra-cs at senior also.
I’m a bit more afraid for Margo and Elena though(especially if Margo is already struggling with injuries). As for Lena, she looks so fragile…

Does Alisa have small parents like Adelia? She's not much taller than 13 year old girls like Elena and Margo. It might bode well for her in seniors. I think the only senior women that will be able to have multiple quads in the future are women like Adelia (assuming the ISU don't change the rules which they probably will if Adelia and Alisa dominated for years with multiple quads).

I don't think I've seen Alisik's parents.

Poor Maleina. The twizzles in the RD were crucial.
I don't follow dance, and I know nothing about it, but that last couple seemed like that were just fantastic-as good as the ones winning senior dance?

Well they are not bad but only won because of the previous duo's mistake in the rhythm dance.
In general, the competition in junior dances this season is lower than in previous years. Most of the couples of the last championship either split or moved to seniors.
When you are 13 you have your heart set on skating to music piece A or B, even if it is too mature or too fast. Neither of Lena's programs are right for Lena, but Carmine Burana isn't right for Margo either. (Even most men can't keep up with Carmine Burana) Lena is fast and sassy, and she needs music that shows off her personality. Margo needs something with better pacing. Alisa was too nervous for me to enjoy her program, but once she relaxes and lets herself fly she will do great things. Sofia actually made me cry. When she skates I get the 'feels'. I love jumps and athletic skaters, but Sofia is really special.

Found this from Dec 2023, went digging through her fangroup just for you bud:
She was super duper short back then:
Barely even taller than Bazlyuk!
Who is way shorter than Adeliia! (all pics from relatively the same time period)
So basically, yes her mom is extremely short, and dad looks below average at least. She probably wont grow much, she clearly matured a lot physically but still short. Girls stop growing earlier than boys. She doesn't have any surprises waiting for her by my assumption. Clearly very different genetics from Adeliia though anyways.

Not Sabada/Astakhov's day on the jumps, but otherwise a very respectable skate. They really needed the sbs jumps to keep their place or move up though.

Solid for Merenkova/Galimov, only a small error on the first throw. Might get a rotation call on their jump sequence, her first landing looked a little awkward.
