Agree that Miyahara has so many qualities which will bode well for her as she matures. A headshaker when comments like "her future is clouded now" are made. Really? At 14? Through the next several years at this age, each of these girls will go through so many changes - of body, skills, mindset - in which case how can any one of their futures be anything other than cloudy? Overly simplistic.

Disappoitning for Japan. Combined placements thus far means only 2 spots for Junior Worlds next year. Also, not top 3 country placement with Russia, USA, Canada. Unless the rules have changed, means won't have as many slots for Junior Grand Prix events either.

Samantha will need a personal best of 105.64 to get on the podium....

 

[hippomoomin]

Just wondering - is it considered good technique to land her jumps with such bent knees? I always thought it was a product of her low jumps...

Haha, I think exactly the same way. It appears to me that if she does not have that much knee bend, she won't land any of her jumps at all (knee bend allows her to land when her body is much lower)

 

[sky_fly20]

now its either Anna P or 19 year old cougar to complete the podium

I liked Pogorilaya. The landing weren't perfect. Not sure if it is enough for to medal. Enjoyed Miyahara but her jumps are so tiny, like her overall style though.

Wow Cesario is bringing it.

 

[hippomoomin]

Happy with the final results

Strong clean skate! I don't think it's enough for gold, but perhaps silver?

FS: 47.50 + 52.36 = 99.86
Tot: 154.44, in 4th

She got UR's

Happy with the final results

will she be able to prevent the russian podium sweep? curious to find out...

 

[Mrs. P]

Oh my gosh, Samantha! THAT was great!! Jason Brown looks thrilled.

 

[Jammers]

Finally after all these little girls a real woman was on the ice.

I think it should get her bronze. HIGHLY doubt it is enough for silver.

 

[Ziggy]

Cesario won't medal but it was my favourite performance BY FAR.

Finally some HIGH jumps. Solid landings with good flow out as well. Lovely use of arms, really mature presentation.

It was a stunning, stunning program.

 

[Mrs. P]

Samantha doesn't have the tech difficulty, but I'm hoping +GOE will make up for that.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Good for Samantha Cesario! Clean! She can't out-TES the little girls but she sure looks like a Lady out there. :agree:

 

[Jammers]

Who cares if she didn't do a triple triple it was a real lady skater out there not someone who looked 12.

 

[momskate]

Cesario's choreo is boring and plane, skated with dull face

 

[vera01]

I think Cesario deserves to medal here. She has lovely FS.

Isn't this a junior level competition?
