2016 Junior Worlds Mens Free Skate

[Skye]

Despite all the pops, I loved Kevin's performance.
He's definitely on my watch list now.
Awww... he looks so sad.

 

[invisiblespiral]

I believe my predictions are completely screwed except for the 1st place ahaha

If anyone predicted this correctly, they get a million dollars.

 

[Rissa]

Looks like Florent Amodio has got a worthy successor in everything: performing ability, costuming and the ability to botch the tech from here to Sunday and back.

Aww, poor boy.

 

[Ekm]

Wow, Tomoki really capitalized on the opportunity he got when Nathan had to withdraw, way to step it up, congrats to him (and to Daniel and Nicolas).

 

[Sorrento]

The big difference is that Murakami was born in Japan and moved to the US, while Hiwatashi was born in the US.

Oh I did not know that. So there is no way he could do that switch? I think there is a place in Japanese Juniors for a bright talent still.

Aww, poor boy.

I shouldn't be laughing after that implosion, but

 

[Princessroja]

He's actually 16 (DOB 20.01.2000)

Oh haha duh you're right--I forgot it was 2016!

 

[tzazu]

Congrats to the medalists! Nadeau and Tomoki a really nice surprise, Samohin superb!

 

[Crossover]

The final result is filled with surprises.

No Russian on the podium
Totally unexpected silver and bronze medalists especially for Canada.
Thanks to Samahin for the nice performance with three quads.

Congratulations to all the medalists!

 

[Layback11]

This event is most certainly going to go down in history as one of the weirdest ever.

This is actually what sport is about: believe in yourself and fight no matter what. Never underestimate your rivals, never think that medal belongs to you until you do everything that you can in order to own it like a true champion. I congratulate those who won tonight.

:agree:

 

[matmuh]

i knew Tomoki would do great the moment i saw him at Skate Detroit this summer but didnt expect this medal at all!! congratz!! and Nicolas and Daniel did great too!!!! is this the most unexpected and colorful podium in a while? :hap57:

 

[cathlen]

More pops? Kevin, you're killing us!

Oh no, he's crying :sad21: Don't cry, mini-Max! There's always next year!

Isn't he too old? He reminds me more of Florent Amodio, Max Aaron isn't much of perfomer...

EDIT: It wast terrible day. So much pops and fall and mistakes.

Now, seriously happy, we have second GOLD medal for small fed in major ISU competition! Congrats Daniel, you were a true star tonight! :hap57:

Hey, the US needs him more!!

 

[JuliaHols]

Yay Canada gets three spots

 

[cheerknithanson]

Wow, this is one unique storybook! Tomoki, being the replacement for Nathan Chen, who was supposed to have it be his year to win Jr. Worlds, goes in, no one knowing how he'll do, and he comes in and gets bronze!

Nicolas didn't even make the FP last year was the only man from Canada to compete and he ends up with silver and maybe bringing the spots for Canada from 1 to 3 all by himself.

And Daniel Samohin, who got 9th in the SP, skated a monterously awesome FP with 3 quads and got a new personal best. And he won gold and became the first Israeli to win Jr. Worlds!

What a storybook!

There needs to be a storybook on this!

Really? Why? I thought you have lots of talents rn, no?
