2013 Junior Worlds Ladies FS

As far as I remeber, Daleman is 15. I had the chance to see her in person at the recent Canadian championships, and she was incredible. She oozed confidence and power, expressed her music and looked like she was really enjoying herself. In fact, she pulled off a real upset and nabbed the silver medal at the senior level. She has incredible potential, and its great that she was able to show that off here. :-D

Rika is one of those skaters who would be better served by not skating to classical music - it highlights her weaknesses too much.

Boy what is GOING ON. Nicky cannot handle it! He's just blabbering on.

That's right, he really doesn't know what to say!

She needs power music!

Now that I'm looking at the kiss and cry, she kind of looks like Miki Ando...

Oh, I'd say she is one to watch. A whole level above some of the anemic performances today. Does she make the Olympic age cut?

Yes it is at times almost painful.

I don't care for this skate by Hongo. Routine doesn't jell for me. Not even any performance/artistic attempt--she looks like she just wants to crank it out and get off the ice.

ETA: Yes, she's more like a Yoshie Onda type, not a Little Mao.

I like Daleman, but this music is beyond her ability to interpret.

It was a terrible music choice for her.

I love Hongo's gloves. Excellent control on the jumps throughout. But is it just me or was she kind of slooow?

The Japanese women always have the most beautiful dresses/costuming. She was very slow. Very anemic and tentative.

Mrs. P · Mar 2, 2013

Alaine Chartrand -- I liked she is going for harder tech content, but I felt she was WAY WAY Too rushed.

tulosai · Mar 2, 2013

Chartrand is just lovely. I see a lot of potential in her and think she has a very sophisticated understanding and interpretation of the music especially for her age. I personally would have her first in the long program for sure.

ETA: Between her, Osmond, and Daleman, things are REALLY looking up for Canada!!

FSGMT · Mar 2, 2013

SC has some interesting girls at the moment: Osmond, Daleman, Chartrand... They could really do well in the future!

bigsisjiejie · Mar 2, 2013

Agree, Canada ladies' skating is looking up. These young ladies aren't afraid to get out there and just let 'er rip! Technical goods and also a lot of artistic promise. Good job.

My Eurosport feed is horrible today, freezing, stopping the usual crap. It was fine yesterday. I have a headache from trying to watch, decided to rely on the pbp.

Mrs. P · Mar 2, 2013

I bet Nathalie's tired! She was just a Euros a few weeks ago. Is she going to Worlds as well?

Ziggy · Mar 2, 2013

Russian Eurosport has been on since the penultimate group.
