2018 Junior World Championships Ladies SP

[xeyra]

Ohhh, Mako may go above Rika given her TES.

 

[vesperalvioletta]

Yes. Unfortunately.

The horror :hopelessness:

Lovely genuine skate from Mako. I love to be in Coach Yamada's camp. She brings the innate grace out of each skater. (i.e. SHOMA)

Plus, the tasteful music choice!!

This is just random and maybe I'm misremembering, but did Starr Andrews pull out of this? I thought she was sent here.

I have to say the Junior Men and Ladies' music choice is quite (long pause) interesting.

Yes. Injury. I don't recall the details. Emmy Ma was sent in her place.

yup she decided to focus on 4CC instead

which is odd because she could've skated here too

edited: forgot that she was injured as well. thanks andromache

Yep, she pulled out before 4CC. Emmy Ma is her replacement here.

The Japanese and the soft knees...

 

[QuadSal]

Starr couldn't compete due to her injury preventing her from doing a Lutz or Flip which is required in the short programe.

 

[Szeptuszka]

Amazing jumps and speed! She really improved a lot since the inconsistent girl she was just a season ago. Why the muzak-y Bohemian cover, though I'd appreciate the original used at least for the finale

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Fluffy

 

[andromache]

Ting wuzrobbed and should be in 3rd or 4th tbh.

The ride-out Mako gets on her landing edge is just incredible to watch.

I see that even on the World stage, Stanislava is still robbing people of their rightful placements. *sigh*

I am pleasantly surprised that she doesn't have obvious bad jumping techniques that I usually see from her students, like Kana Murakami, Yukari Nakano and Shoma.

I'm so salty RuFed butchered Tarakanova and robbed Gubanova just to give Konstantionva another chance to get 180 total score at junior worlds. With Tarakanova/Gubanova/Sherbakova Russia could have a podium sweep

Not sure how she got 62.63 points with that performance, especially considering the UR, the e edge and the downgrade two-foot landing.

Should have been around 54 points.

 

[Sk8rBoii]

The free skate should be interesting. It seems that russian girls will take 1st and 2nd (they've been so consistent the whole season), but it'll be a battle for bronze, for sure! So many with the potential, and so many with inconsistency issues

 

[silverfoxes]

I hope this season will be the end of favors being done for Valentina's skaters.

 

[sunnystars]

oh man
5th-9th are basically battling each other within 2 points :eeking::hpull:

slay that LP tomorrow, Eunsoo!
