2024 JGP Ankara Pairs SP

[Dreamer57]

The Italian pair are out of form.

I do love their costumes though!

I had them in 3rd I think. The scores are quite evenly spaced apart so far.

Mark mentioned that he'd been attacked after junior worlds. I wonder whether there is a lingering injury from that?

That's what I thought he said - how awful

 

[FlossieH]

Oh no! Aborted lift!

I'm not sure when the switch to 'humans' started, it sounds more biological and scientific to me. Maybe the term 'people' can be mistaken for a particular group or community, whereas with humans you know someone means all people.

What doesn't make sense is that Mark uses 'humans' when he wants to empahasise their individuality and personal needs or development. A more biological term does not make sense there.

I thought I was the only one who didn't like the 'humans' thing. I don't understand what is wrong with referring to people as people.

Thank you!!!

I was starting to wonder if I was odd (...which I am! )

Mind you, I think he has been reading us and is now doing it to wind us up, because when he asked Kirsten the final question before the skating started again, he threw three or four "humans" into the one sentence!

(Hey, I just re-read that sentence. Imagine trying to throw that many people in quick succession! )

I thought their legs were going to hit each other on that spin. No idea how it got a positive GOE when they were so out of sync.

Happy to see new PB score for Jazmine and Kieran

I think my pairs predictions are getting mushy

So are mine. I hadn't expected Jazmine and Kieron to be so consistent now, and hadn't known about what had happened to the Italian pair.

Mark - Chris Kneirim was never a world champion...

well we are not done yet - perhaps the other four teams will sort themselves out favorably for us

 

[FlossieH]

US pair are still very much in development, but she looked so thrilled with that performance.

They have been fast tracked

Oh dear my men's predictions at Nebelhorn are also taking a hit today

 

[FlossieH]

I've just realised Nebelhorn is on already. Thought it started tomorrow. No predictions for me this week there!

Oh dear my men's predictions at Nebelhorn are also taking a hit today

For quite a few years, I haven't predicted on the Junior GP's, because every year there are new skaters arriving on the scene that are completely new to me. And you never know what surprises may crop up.

But, I am dreading seeing my Dance scores from the Nebelhorn come the end of the weekend, because I decided to take a chance and put ALL of my kids in positions 3 to 5!

Mind you, the thing I regret is that I was cautious and didn't put Zingas / Kolesnik into 1st or 2nd like I wanted to.

Another Sing sing sing...
I keep thinking of Golubeva/Giotopoulos Moore when this music plays

 

[FlossieH]

That was nice from Hansen and Church. There was pretty good synchronicity between them.

I don't have any. I thought I had another day.

Oh my. 22 euros for the livestream was it free before?

Thrilled for Deniss, but men will be men I suppose...
