[Nathan13]

Anybody here watching?

 

[Princessroja]

I am! Also cleaning out my bathroom cupboards though so I'll be in and out.

 

[Greta]

Yes! Excited for the start of the junior events.

 

[Nathan13]

I'm not really familiar with any of these pairs except for Weinstein/Simon...is there a heavy favorite?

 

[skatemouse]

Anybody here watching?

Yes IN keep stopping

 

[Chemistry66]

Icemusings did a preview but didn't post it, so here's a link: http://icemusings.com/blog/2017-us-nationals-junior-pairs-preview/

 

[Princessroja]

Argh, I DO know how you feel... or rather, how I feel about this song. :dev2:

That being said, the pair looks good.

 

[Layback11]

Isabella Gamez is fifteen different kinds of adorable.

 

[CoyoteChris]

See me during the pair spin?

 

[skatemouse]

Missed you. D/N were very strong.

 

[Princessroja]

Whew! The teams are bringing it today, from what I've seen. And the bathroom cupboards are now like a dream come true. I can :gasp: FIND things again! :hap93: Now to enjoy some good skating...

 

[Chemistry66]

Isabella Gamez is fifteen different kinds of adorable.

Ugh, I just checked, and Griffin turns 21 only THREE days before the July 1st deadline so they're no longer eligible for JGPs. Wow, that's unfortunate.

Actually, 6 of the 12 pairs here won't be ISU Junior eligible next season (mainly just because the men are to old):

Digerness/Neudecker (Danny turns 21 in March)
Finster/Kozlowski (Brandon is already 21)
Gamez/Schwab (Griffin turns 21 on June 28th)
Klopstock/Arsenault (Hannah is already 19 AND Daniel is already 22)
Smart/Rounis (Matthew turns 21 in May)
Yao/Hale (Austin turns 21 in April)

 

[skatemouse]

This team sweet. Loved love loved the Chorus Line music. She needs to really have stronger lines and check outs. From knees down she is really loose and her leg warmers made it look worse. Other than that a good start. They are nicely matched.

 

[CoyoteChris]

No favs

 

[CoyoteChris]

My favorites so far

 

[CoyoteChris]

Scary lift

 

[GypsyFe]

MARvaldi/Villen... her parents were top pairs skaters but not together...Rocky Marval and Isabelle Brasseur...

WOW! I had no idea so many pairs will age out of juniors next season. Sadly, since that is the case, I'm betting that most if not all these pairings will not remain after two years...

 

[skatemouse]

Scores seem accurate at this point.
Even though they age out. I am happy to see the guys are older. They tend to be a lot more stable when they are a little older. Maybe this means more Senior teams? The year of the Olympics though?
