Satoko is up. Bring out those microscopes to find the jumps.

might get some UR there but hope Satoko gets the bronze

 

[Mrs. P]

Radionova over Lipnitskaya. I agree. The judges got this one right.

Me too. Julia has ZERO connection with the music. Elena is a bit rough around the edges, but at least she feels and expresses to the music.

he pcs is lower than Elena. wrong wrong

Why do you think Lipnitskaia deserves higher PCS than Radionova's?

Satoko is up. Bring out those microscopes to find the jumps.

It's really too bad her jumps are so low. Everything else is rather nice, her basics and knee bend are amazing.

Radionova over Lipnitskaya. I agree. The judges got this one right.

Agreed. Elena is a much more engaging performer than Julia is. Good to see Julia rebound nicely but her connection to the music and the audience still needs a lot of work. That's something Elena does naturally...

"Clean" skate, but she lands very low and will probably get some UR's on her tiny jumps.

FS: 47.77 + 47.49 = 95.26
Tot: 147.42, in 5th (out of 22)

Definitely got some UR's looking at her TES

why ? were Elena's any better , if you call arm flailing IN
Julia had more transitions at the first half

 

[Mrs. P]

I'm sort of curious about Sakato will get some URs. That was a great program otherwise---I agree with Nicky, she has a better program than the Russians, but man...those jumps are so so small.

 

[liketotally]

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...

 

[Jammers]

These are some of the smallest jumpers i've seen in Juniors at the top of the leader board.

 

[FSGMT]

What a program from Miyahara, too: three clean FSs in a row!! And finally the judges noted that Lena is a lot better than Julia, aristically!

 

[Binthere]

Lipnitskaya's double axel - Same technique as Tara Lipinski. Roller skating derivative take off. A bit problematic though.

 

[Kissx3]

Elena feels like a dancer, Julia feels like a tech machine JMO

I find it hard to watch Miyahara. I'm just terrified about those jumps where she's getting literally about 3 inches off the ice. Her future is cloudy right now.

 

[Mrs. P]

Where she lands that toe pic...is way too close for comfort....

 

[Ziggy]

Miyahara had what Radionova and Lipnitskaya didn't. She used her whole body to interpret the music, her movements were soft and appropriate to the character of the music. Lovely program.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

You know, Satoko and her jumps may be small, but I liked this performance better than any other so far. Those low landings are nail biters but she really is starting to be able to create a mood. I think this is a good music choice for her, and good choreo.

 

[Binthere]

Lovely program for Satoko. Scores taking a while implies technical panel is digging into ways to downgrade her jumps...

Julia > Elena > Satoko
