My cat Data is unimpressed

Jacob! You got the ! Congrats. How many spots are available for Junior Worlds? I didn’t even think he would place this high. I thought Lucas and Robert were for sure going to place 1st and 2nd.

Yeah my cat Kippy slept through the final flight. Go figure. The other cat is in another dimension.

I think Jr worlds will be Lucas (duh) and Jacob and Robert.

Incredible event! I can see any or all of the top three having immediate impact on the Senior ranks next year, and such a deep well of talent for many years beyond. That was so worth playing hooky from work for!

So, three spots? Nice! Don’t forget they sometimes pick a skater skating Seniors that is age eligible

Ah true. So we won't know until after Nats.

I do not know how men's seniors can compare to this. What a great comp for the junior men.

My fiancé Jimmy Ma will be there!

I have a feeling if they do that it’ll be 1 and not 2. We will see. But I do think Jacob will go.

I am thrilled for Lucas. I hope it doesn't bother him that I call him Johnny Junior. He really skates like Johnny waaaay back when I saw him defeat Evan L at Junior Worlds.

 

[Jammers]

Hoping Lucas skates as a Senior next season at Nationals if he qualifies he would move up quickly with how the field is right now even being just 16.

That jump is glorious. Effortless entry, beautiful positioning with the Rippon arms, elegant flow out of the jump.

Really magnificent.

Well, peacock is "not availabe in my region" and whatever I tried so far, nothing helped and I'm tired of it.
