2024 Winter Youth Olympic Games | Jan 27 - Feb 1

Um hi yes do you have a crystal ball or tarot cards that I could borrow for the 4CC predictons?
Sorry, my tarot cards are off-limits, but thank you for asking! 🙂

Seriously though, I was thinking that since home-field advantage is a factor at the Olympics, it might be a factor at the Youth Olympics as well. 🙂 I wasn't thinking Hyungyeom would win a medal of any particular color, just that he would perform well for the home crowd. He definitely surpassed my expectations. 😁

Stationary Lift 1
Synchronized Twizzles W:3 M:2
Choreo Spin Move
Straight Line Lift 1
One Foot Turns W:1 M:1
Choreo Character Step Sequence
Dance Spin 3

Midline Step Sequence W:1 M;1

A bit of struggle with the twizzles, and the entry into the dance spin. A lot of work to do to increase the difficulty of their transitions, and the distance between the partners in hold.

49.24 = 1st Place
82.33 = 1st Place

This can probably be fixed by moving Junior Nationals earlier to around mid-November like Japan did, at least for YOG season. Their Junior Nats was on 17-19 Nov and the YOG selections were announced afterwards. The juniors don't usually have much happening for 6 weeks after JGP finishes anyway, so this scheduling shouldn't be an issue.

Still means that they need to peak in November which can still be considered 'early'. But I got the impression that the YOG entries had to be submitted pretty early too, hence countries with late nationals have to pick based on the best they have at that moment.
@saine beat me to it... All Skate Canada had to do is take Challenge scores :) Not sure why they couldn't ;)
Also... well... I am just being super greedy but if Cinçon-Debout and Celestino had been sent, Skate Canada wouldn't release them early to skate for either France or the Philippines later on in their senior career... HA ! Sometimes, I am nice.. and sometimes I am just greedy :devil:

Big problems for Kravets on the twizzle sequence. I'm not sure if she'll get credit for anything, or whether it will just be base level. Good routine, but not the performance they were looking for.

67.72 = 1st Place
115.70 = 1st Place
