I turned the stream back on halfway through Cha. Apart from a pop, what I saw was nice....

(I also wanted to say that he was basically going to win unless he completely bombed, and then remembered I said that about Aliev last week... )

 

[Daniel1998]

Yay JHC.
He looked exhausted in the second half, and popped the quad but he did enough to win.

Lost in Music

Geez, he's one heck of a competitor- much like Yuna in that aspect at least. She'd pop one jump, and nail all the other jumps. I agree with Ted- the connection to the music was better here.

The Russian men have done better than the ladies Maybe it's time for people to shut up about how weak the Russian men are. And don't forget the 2 very good guys who had to withdraw for injury.

I agree, 5 qualified russians, lol
to be fair; the russian men have been catching up in the juniors since Kovtun's junior seasons.

In absolute awe as Ted recaps the jgps... Thank you Ted!

I love it. It's so perfect. There needs to be an update to it after tomorrow is done. Ted is the best commentator ever.

So CAN men get another 2nd place!

^^ I didn't realized that, it is almost a Russian sweep JGPF, if it is not for BB jun.

Pairs is thisclose to being the same. It's highly likely to be 5 Russian pairs teams + Duskova/Bidar.

Russia might as well just cancel Junior Nationals, lol.

Russian men are doing good(which is kind of what I expected but not to this extend), but there are two skaters(Zhou and Sadovsky) with significantly higher combined scores than two of the Russian skaters(Skirda and Savosin).. and Zhou was also slightly ahead of two others going to the GPF(Aliev and Krasnozhon).

Men are just unpredictable. The Jr. World podium last year included one man who wasn't at JGPF.

I noticed that too. Zhou, Sadovksy, and even Kazuki Tomono as well all had higher total scores than Savosin and Skirda. They also all competed at the event in Japan, which had 6! skaters score over 200 points. Was everyone just really on at that event?

 

[silverfoxes]

There were a lot of good performances in Japan, but also some very wacky scoring...just saying

Honestly though, any skate in the last group in Yokohama would've won in St. Gervais anyways.
