2025 NextGen Competition | July 17-20

Joey Russell :love:

VicB had some issues in the twizzles in the steps... but wow... a nice start for her. I cannot help to think that Uliana will suffer the comparison as another former Russian because Victoria has better everything
 
Wow!! Victoria landed those jumps like a PRO. The backloaded 3Lz 3T was spectacular and the 3Lo came out of nowhere.

Artistically, I think her skating skills aren’t as good as when she competed in Russia. She stumbled and wasn’t as fast as I expected.

However, it is nice to have a reliable skater to depend on.

Her jumps are just so big (even though I'm not sure the combo was fully rotated, the take-off was a bit squirrely) 😍 The program is nice, but not groundbreaking, very in her wheelhouse. Will be interesting to see how it develops as the season progresses.
 
Not Ksenia's best skate, but she isn't eligible for JGP anyway. I'm sure she'll get sent out internationally to appropriate novice events, same as with Lia.
 
Ksenia!! Please be as close to 50, as possible.

I knew this would be a tough season for her. She has the 3S, 3F and 3Lz mastered. But, with no 3T and 3Lo, it is going to be hard for her to accumulate the points needed.

She has the IT factor though. 🌟

Pretty program for Ksenia (would love to see her do a full ballet-style program - she's a very good dancer from what I can see on her IG account). She uses her arms a lot to jump - Has she always done that? I feel like it's throwing off her axis more than it's helping.
 
Hannah has lots of presence on the ice... even with this overused music i kept interest.

Now, her combo was good and loop too but the 2a... sigh...

i cannot help to think pairs for her...
 
Reese does skate faster with better skating skills.
I’m 99% certain, Victoria will pass her after the free skate though 😝
i think the issue were calls on the combo... but still a bit surprising considering Reese made mistakes too on the loop and one spin. i guess the botched step was one too many mistakes for VickyB

She did the Firebird for her FS last season.

Oh, she's cute as a button. And fierce too. Love the dress and the ponytail, also love the choreo. Let's forget about the step-out on the axel, everything else was just great.
