2016 Junior Worlds Mens Free Skate

[liv]

Strange competition.

I think my favourite was Jun hwan... to do so well at 14 with only 1 triple axel... and the American guys were great.. Nadeau, wow...
Congrats to the winner. Amazing technical content, although I didn't really like the program in general. To jump from 9th to 1st, he has to be very proud of himself. That's no small feat and he was just fantastic. Well deserved.

Tomoki is kinda like last year's Sota

Yay Canada gets three spots

Really? Was Nicolas the only Canadian competing here?

There needs to be a storybook on this!

Will a blog post do? I will definitely do a blog post about it. Maybe even an all-men's one, which I've never done before! Or maybe just a general recap with humorous anecdotes from the event (suspicious unconfirmed ice dance marriages!) like they do on IN?

Yes

Well, that was an interesting men's competition, to say the least. And I even don't know whether in a good sense, or not so good. Only one podium finisher (Samohin) who was among the favorites to medal, and not even one from those who were expected to medal here just a few months ago - before Chen's and Sota's injuries.

And Deniss . He actually had a real chance to keep his third place if he had skated well, considering how Aliev and Samarin skated. Oh well, let's hope for good Senior Worlds for him (meaning, he qualifies for the FS, and simply skates well in both programs).

Anyway, congratulations to Samohin, Nadeau and Hiwatashi, and to everyone else who had a good skate.

How really inspiring for junior men in Canada: working hard for the minimum tech and a big chance to go to worlds.

I don't think Samarin had one clean jump--a hand down here, a step out there. He usually has a good SP and a not-so-good FS, that's the way it's been in the JGP and that's the way it was here, but he was gifted with his score while Aliev was not. I guess it was because Samarin was the last Russian skater.

Samohin is making history as being the first Junior World champion to represent Israel just like his countryman, Bychenkov won a silver at Euro in January.

How come does he speak so good English? Does he live in the US?

Yeah, Daniel lives in the US and used to compete in US qualifying comps (placing 4th in Novice in the 2012-2013 season)

 

[Sorrento]

It's actually awesome, he will give lots of interviews today!

He was born in Israel to Russian parents, but grew up in the USA.

A lot of disapointments, but it isn’t like the medalists skated badly. Om the contrary: Congrats to them

Why didn’t Tomoki’s second 3 flip count?

Zayaking? (He did 2 3lzes and 2 3as...)

It was ninth triple jump, and there's only 8 allowed in Free Porgram IRC.
