2014 JGP Courchevel Junior Ladies FS

[Rhodium]

Medvedeva - 2 triple-triple!

 

[Chemistry66]

Medvedeva wins by just under a whopping 21 points. Wow.

 

[Mrs. P]

Amber holds on for bronze. She was clearly relieved and disappointed. Me thinks that she'll comes back strong in JGP #2!

 

[silverfoxes]

Over 150 points difference between first and last place. Ouch. But Evgenia is really amazing. Russia is swimming in talented girls.

She looks a little bit labour on ice. But I think her axel looks good. I hope she will get more consistency.

Amber needs to lose a little bit of weight...

Evgenia killing it and having fun doing a goofy robot step sequence!! She even bowed like a robot.

She is on a whole different planet from anyone at this competition.

Medvedeva has been growing in me. It seems her coach is doing another program with emotional appeal, like Julia's, and it worked for me. Whether the two pieces of music tied together is a good idea is debatable, but I like programs with great contrast, and like skaters who can deliver this kind of contrast. Medvedeva has showed a great range of interpretation and that's very promising. She also seems to be a very good competitor.

Weight is not the problem. Her body type is stocky and there is nothing wrong with that. There are stocky skaters that don't look labour on ice.

Evgenia was amazing! I hope she will get more weight, though. Watching her being so thin makes me feel sooo scared.

Is that what it was? I thought it was just a "diva flourish" bow. Either way, I like it.

Except there wasn't much competition for her today. I wonder how she will do when she starts playing with the big girls. Let's hope the puberty monster doesn't know her address. Oh, and she could indeed do with a couple of pounds more. Her legs look downright scary.

Medvedeva!

 

[andyjo24]

I when Medvedeva landed the 3S+3T! She definitely can make it harder for Julia, Pogo, and the others (that is, if she gets through puberty hopefully...).

Although I salute Medvedeva's obvious talent, I do root for Amber for two reasons: 1) I want to see her grow into and rock Rohene's program, which she was unable to do today hwell: and 2) far from needing to lose weight, she looks like a normal 14 year old girl. She doesn't have to worry about the puberty monster. She may actually grow into a woman who can skate. You go, girl!

But onto the men, and although I have not seen him skate, I am now really looking forward to Chase Belmontes. Gotta his attitude!

 

[makaihime]

Amber has so much personality on the ice :yes: I really want her to do well this quad. Congrats to Medvedeva and yay for Yasmina

 

[Mrs. P]

I like Amber and am rooting for her as well.

 

[Figureskaterr]

Her technique looks pretty good in terms of rotation, needs a lot of work on SS though. Kind of reminds me of Jenni Saarinen.

Except Jenni's SS are very good.

Thanks for the protocols. Why was Mahamoud's 3S-2T combo an invalid element?

I feel like Evgenia has a lot of personality and Amber doesn't (at least today she lacked personality). Medvedeva was outstanding.
