2016 Junior Worlds Ladies Free Skate

[EdgeCall]

I almost expected this to take the lead, but maybe that was a bit much. Well done Wakaba!

 

[Interspectator]

Go Maria!

 

[NaVi]

Calling it now, Wakaba will get Silver and Russia will lose 3 spots...

In the "old days", these girls would have been given pain killers and be told to go out and skate.

Anyone who cares at all for the well being and future of these girls should be happy that the "old days" are gone.

Did Maria miss out on a triple?

Clean skate for Maria, nice, but zero excitement for me.

Bit heavy landings on some jumps, but overall strong with 7 triples. Should medal, maybe silver if her SP lead helps her

Maria looks like enough for silver but not for gold.

Well done Maria! Should be enough to keep 3 spot for Russia.

 

[Interspectator]

Another Clean skate. This as been great final group.

 

[cheerknithanson]

This is still not as bizarre as the men's FP yesterday.

 

[daphenaxa]

Hey Maria proved me wrong. I thought she was gonna crumble under the pressure but she did well. Hung on to all those landings. 2nd or 3rd?

 

[OS]

Well done Maria! You delivered!!! Redefining jumping bean.... the scoring is going to be interesting...

 

[Poice]

For me - all 3 Japanese girls skated better....

In the "old days", these girls would have been given pain killers and be told to go out and skate.

Maybe the painkiller they used was added to the banned list on January 1. Meldonium was claimed to be a cardio protector... maybe there was an ankle protector that got banned as well.... we have seen alot of ankle related WDs for junior worlds (and not just from the Russians!)

 

[OS]

Yeah very impressed with Juniors ladides overall, even the ones in the early flights! Good event! They all did super great!!

 

[NaVi]

She needs 119 for Silver.... it will be close.

 

[Poice]

Sorry but this is ridiculous...best PCS?

 

[Mrs. P]

She needs 119 for Silver.... it will be close.

She got it.

Good job Maria!
