2022 Junior World Championships: Women's Free Skate

[Jeanie19]

Thank God Lindsay got the bronze. Lovely skating, her and Isabeau is the only girls who's doing the loop combo. Lindsay and Isabeau is the future of US women.

They really are.

Rino is such an amazing skater. The inconsistency is sad

You mean Rion - Be careful with their names, there is a Rino in the same age bracket and she's far more consistent than Rion
I was indeed also confused by their very similar names at first, and Rinka was somehow also involved in the messiness of my brain trying to remember which name belongs to whom. (Might have to add that for some reason I also kept mixing up Lindsay's and Isabeau's names (just the names though, not the skaters themselves), so my brain is just apparently not very good at remembering names in general )

I completely agree with these sentences. Lindsay does have the best technique and once she gets the right programs, I think her component scores will rise. As for Raf. With Nathan taking time off, he might be just what Isabeau needs. I worried that when he had Nathan, that's where all of his focus was directed. She deserves to be in rink where she is the #1 Lady. Maybe Orser but, I don't have any idea who his top lady is. Is Jason going to continue for another season? She might fit in well with Orser.

I think Lindsay has better skills also. Improving her artistry and good programs will put her into the top three in the USA.
Heard Jason was retiring. Brian has so many skaters in and out of the country, so Tracy Wilson worked with Jason mostly. I don’t think Brian could give her the time she needs, but Tracy Wilson would be a great choice. Isabeau needs to make that change now to learn proper techniques, because puberty will happen soon and it will be even more difficult for her to progress.

I think Tracy would be great! Jason has always been a favorite but, he became a faster, stronger skater when he began to train in Canada. I also think Tracy would take the time that will be needed to re-work Isabeau's Technique.

the jumping coach is Ghislain Briand at TCC. Not sure Tracy has anything to do with jumping technique.. I don't see Isabeau going to Canada though. If she were to do so, I am not sure where I'd see her... maybe with Lee Barkell or with Ravi Walia

OMG this was amazing !!!! Bravo Jia Shin !!! WOW... this is an incredibly talented skater with lots of good musicality... for such a young age??? Give her all the points !

She has so much elevation on her jumps!

 

[Mozartistique]

Wow, such a close competition, and with an amazing last group! wow.
Jia was absolutely perfect in the jumps, spins, fluidity of the moves. She improved a ton in 1 year!
Isabeau was gorgeous, flexible on her jump landings and in her spins, + she really emotes throughout the program and has great musicality.
And also Lindsay and Ahsun both skating absolutely clean with strong jumps and spins, they really put their names out there tonight.
What I think made the difference between gold and silver for Isabeau was the change in layout: for only 0.27 reduction in base value,they chose to not repeat the 3F, by placing a 3Lo combo and both Lutzes in the second half. It was risky but it paid off.
Congratulations to the medalists! Wishing them the best for the upcomming junior season in August.

Ravi Walia was Kaetlyn's right? I think he'd be great as well.

Has Raf ever done well with a woman skater? He seems more like a guys' kind of coach, and not very "present" when it comes to the women. The skaters I'm thinking of are Wagner and Bell, but he's also had women from other countries who came and went? He seems to kind of abandon his women skaters.

Special mention of Clair Seo who came in 5th in the LP and 6th overall.

i need someone to repaint my entire condo. just let me know

Well yes for it would a strain on your lower back. Canada is too much of a trek from NYC and I need mine painted though I have to hold a gun to my building manager's head to have him do it.

I agree. Who is the oldest of our Junior Ladies? Will any of them stay Juniors after this season?

Isabeau is 15, Clare is 15 and 1/2 and Lindsay is 16. So they are all senior age for the new season.

 

[mrrice]

Isabeau is 15, Clare is 15 and 1/2 and Lindsay is 16. So they are all senior age for the new season.

But, can they still attend Junior Worlds like Ilia did this year?

 

[RatedPG]

Isabeau is 15, Clare is 15 and 1/2 and Lindsay is 16. So they are all senior age for the new season.

Yup. But, it will be hard to move up to Senior Ladies. How many spots do they get in Senior Grand Prix?

1) Alysa Liu - retired
2) Mariah Bell - ?
3) Karen Chen - ?
4) Isabeau Levito - World Junior Champion
5) Lindsay Thorngren - World Junior Bronze
6) Audrey Shin - Over 200+ in 4CC
7) Amber Glenn - Over 200+ in SA (3A)
8) Gabriella Izzo - US Nationals Pewter medalist
9) Bradie Tennel - comeback?
10) Starr Andrews - Top 24 World Ranking

11) Clare Seo - US Junior Champion (may not get a spot)

Clare may do the JGP instead.

Then it would make sense for Clair to do the jr circuit another year.

 

[mrrice]

Yes.

I would do JPG again if I was her too
