Did Jenna sit on the ice?

That’s what it looked like to me, a split second transition going awry in timing

Tanith looks so serious nowadays

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Yep, judges called it a fall. 3rd place.

 

[yelyoh]

from potential silver to nothing. sad

And the curse of Notre Dame strikes again this year…

There’s always the pewter medal, though. That counts!

Leah and Artem are beautiful and expressive dancers with lovely lines.

 

[yelyoh]

Gawd that was good. N&M will win by a huge margin. Pity they can't compete in seniors at Nats. Bet they'd be top ten.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

N/M really are in another league than the rest of the field here. Will be interesting to see how their transition to seniors goes next year.

Ah yes I forgot.

Congrats to the medalists and thanks to all the dancers for a fun competition.

Phew long day of this. What do you say, folks. Drinks in the lounge in an hour?

 

[auser]

Aw. Peacock not showing the medal ceremony? No fun.

I don't know if that helps them get to junior worlds though, when they haven't competed in the JGP series this season.
Their rhythm dance was strong in comparison to other teams

I think there are only 2 US slots for Junior worlds though, and for a long time it has seemed like a forgone conclusion that Neset/Markelov & Pedersen/Chen would be taking those

I think there are 3. The US teams were able to squeak out 3 last season because the Germans had to withdraw.

Have they competed in any international comps?
