Yes Naomi coaches her - one of my all time favorite skaters!

Katie Krafchik skates to Shallow in a cream and purple dress. Beautiful soft and gentle skate. Well done.

 

[labgoat]

So far I agree with the judges

 

[yelyoh]

Yeah Katie K did so well and those tears of joy. Yes!!

 

[purplecat]

Oh how sweet - Katie is so emotional. Good for her.

Next group up - let's keep the good vibes going now.

I think for the first time in over a decade i don't really know what girls to look out for in this event. I didn't really pay attention to the JPG this season for some reason so only recognize a few of the names.

Who is the blonde cutie in red waving to the camera on warm- up while I just wanna break the rules plays in the background

 

[purplecat]

At the time of this article in September she was 13.

Edited to add article lol: https://figureskatersonline.com/news/2022/09/15/phoebe-stubblefield/

Checking Phoebe's ISU bio says her birthdate is 5-11-2008 making her 14: http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00114556.htm

Sofia Bezkorovainaya doesn’t want anyone to rain on her parade. Another talented novice taking her time setting up her jumps successfully in blue and purple trimmed dress.

 

[purplecat]

Nice big plushie for Sofia. I really enjoy her personality on the ice!

Plushie kinda resembles my avatar pic haha

 

[labgoat]

She just got a stuffie nearly as big as she is.

 

[yelyoh]

Is she ten? Looks so young. Good skate to Leah cover.

 

[labgoat]

Olivia Flores dressed in black. Another novice skating up to Blackbird. One fall, good spread eagles and a cantilever.

 

[yelyoh]

Another Cui. Lovely but you can't pop your combo.

 

[labgoat]

Ela Cui is a Boston novice skating up. Pretty white dress with gold trim. Nice lift into her double axel, pops her flip, lovely spiral, great recovery on 3Loop.

 

[labgoat]

Lots of novices here. Jessica Jurka Is very tiny in powder blue dress with black trim. Something about her movement reminds me of Tara LipinskI as a Junior. I look forward to seeing her a year from now.
