2014 Worlds Junior Men - Free Skate
- Thread starter sky_fly20
- Start date
A top ten at seniors for a 15 year old is a good result!
I think it's good that he's no pushing it to hard considering his injuries in the last year. He is 14, so plenty of time to develop. Plus I'm sure he needs to get through a growth spurt.
Nam does have some technique issues from his prior coach. But Brian has done a lot to alleviate them.
Nguyen? Surely not in the next two years. Maybe later. But I am sceptical.

Based on your logic, those behind him must have worse techniques since they didn't beat Nam. And Nam is relatively ahead of second and third placing.:sarcasm:
Compare only his 3A with Pitkeev and Petrov.
Happy for you too Mrs. P. US junior skaters look very promising.
Nathan is still very small, but whenever I have seen him over the last year, he has seemed to have grown. Even here at Jr. Worlds he seems to be a bit more filled out than at Nationals. Having seen his brothers, I cannot imagine he will be little forever. I hope the growth continues to be little by little and not all at once.
I'm also glad he finished on the podium. I think the challenges he has had over the last year or so will help him in the long run. He will have to be smart about his training and not just diligent. In 10 years he will appreciate the techniques he is learning now.

stalked 3A !!!
Nathan's 3A is tiny but it has good technique or Adian's 3A who gets huge height and skid
Too young leaders with no quad. Two Men with quads mistaken much and not in leaders.
Because of this lower scores.

Results.
I believe, results are adequate. Maybe, somebody was overscored or underscored (not so much) but placing is right.
Nam Nguen won with clean both SP and FS, nobody else did it.
If Pitkeev would land 3Lo in SP - he would be first. But he landed only 1Lo.
If Petrov wouldn't do step out - he would have medal. But step out was.
And so on.
For next JrWorlds:
3 places - Japan, Russia, USA.
2 places - Canada, China, Latvia, Czech Respublic.
For next JGP:
14 spots - Canada, Russia, USA.
7 spots - Japan, China, Latvia.
6 spots - Czech Respublic, Israel, France, Ukraine.
Japan (as before Russia) has no problem to have in reality 14 spots. Many of these countries have not enough Junior Men to fill their spots, so Japan will get their unused spots.
