Honestly, both of them give me diva-in-training vibes on the ice (in a positive sense), as in that they match each other in intensity. He’s such a fun guy off the ice, though, while she's a little more serious, very sweet team. I am fairly sure I adopted them last time already, but just repeating that in case I haven't. He is so tall for his age (185 cm at 16? Insane, absolutely made for pairs).

StSq3

Score: 50.92

Their sbs spins really are so good. The Axel still does not want to cooperate and the lift went a little awry, but a good skate overall.
 
Adorable novice pair team Ava CHEUNG / Stephen LEE CAN, Big music for them but they handle it well. Strong performance of all their elements. Kirsten Moore-Towers & Jacob Cryderman are coaches. Choreographer is Kirsten Moore-Towers (SP), Elizabeth Putnam Chan (FS).

Fantastic debut. One of the highlights of this event.

I don’t know if I remember this team, but that was a fairly good skate. Some work to be done to come close to the top teams, but promising. I do remember Milada with her former partner and Jared with Cayla Smith, and I think they've both improved since then and found a good match in each other.

I have only seen clips of them on Lukas’ IG before, so I am very happy that they look as strong in a full program as they did in those short segments. They seem like a really good match and Anfisa is so pretty. Not the big elements yet, but very promising. She didn’t get released until recently, so this was the first JGP they could attend, and that has served them well.
 
time to brew something warm to get through the main event of the day :biggrin: see you in the cacti green house
 
I just realised that Anfisa and Lukas's costumes match the German team jackets - I don't think that was intentional, but it's cute.
