2018 Junior World Championships Ladies FS

[Spinning]

It's good to see.

I'm not sure why video game music isn't used in figure skating more often. There's so many movie soundtracks used but so little video game music... Even though many of them are incredible compositions

Final Fantasy and Zelda have had their shares in the past!

I hate to see a skater so devastated after a skate. Kyahara did not have a disastrous skate but, clearly, she needs to evaluate her ability to compete at this level. Her jumps and overall artistry are not at Worlds level.

Well this seems kinda harsh for someone who DID qualify for the FP and left 20 skaters behind her. And to be fair, she didn't compete the whole season before this because of injury, so she is coming back but it needs time. For her, this was a disastrous skate because she can do every jump clean in the program and obviously she didn't today. So yes, I think she can be devastated and it only shows what kind of athlete she is, wanting to be better.

This next skater is 19. Do they have an age limit for Juniors?

 

[lavenderblossom]

That was a very gutsy move to put the 2t on the end of that 2a.

Rough skate for Chloe. Disappointing, she has a natural radiance and connection with an audience, but it doesn’t really work when it’s so messy. I think every jumping pass had an error no? The step sequence wasn’t so bad. She does the combination turns nice.

Time deduction coming though too ?

Yes, 18. But if you're 18 at the first of June it counts. So if your birthday is the 2nd of June, you're lucky cause you have an extra year in juniors even though you're 19.

But this bio says she'll be 20 this year? http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00034484.htm

Fair comment. I retract my comment of her not continuing her dreams. Just watching Chloe Ing, who had a tougher skate but maintained this lovely positive vibe, and she makes me want to not only root for her but have strong expectations of future gains.

I think SkaterM meant 19. It's 19 for everyone except men in pairs and ice dance (which is 21).

Good luck Kristen

That'd explain it then

Yeah that's right. But after 1st of June so her "skating age" for next season will be 19 because that is the age she has at the first of June. So in the current season her "skating age" is still 18.

Correction from above, this is correct ^. I misunderstood what SkaterM was saying. I thought they meant you had to be under 18 not 19.

The music is a bit much for Kristen. She is running out of steam. hwell:

Two falls, but she recovered and got her combinations done.

I will never understand why choreographers and coaches allow (give?) skaters to use music that either overpowers them or that they can't possibly keep up with. This doesn't only apply to the lower ranked juniors either ...

Sadly you see quite often that a skater is virtually swallowed by the music

I thought it was July and not June...
