FS: 114.79 (8th)
TOT: 177.36 (3rd)

This group is a bit depressing (at least for me) so far, because the first three skaters are so good and so talented but I worry about these kids because they are so young and their jump technique doesn't always seem the most secure. Anastasia spent some time training with Team Tutberidze prior to this competition, and she's such a talent and has such good performance and movement quality but I worry about injury and longevity in the sport.

She seems like such a sweetheart though, and I love Ted narrating that she is "holding Cookie Monster in the kiss & cry".

The dress flows very prettily, but I'm not a fan of the heart cutout (?) at the front.
She reminds me of Alena Kanysheva, so I'm praying her fate is a better one :pray:

sorry, Anastasia but i quit 🙉

I hope you put the sound back on after she finished. That was such a cute "thank you" speech Anastasia gave while waiting for her scores.

Somebow, methinks she's happy to be here. :)

Into 8th in the FS, but 3rd overall.

This is probably my favourite women's FS of the season. I love the music, I love the choreography, and I love how Ikura skates it. Her posture and refinement really stand out in a junior competition. That 2A fall was a little strange, and it's such a shame about the loop, but she came back fighting with that combo.

please consider ice dance if singles doesn't work out we'll get you a boy with incredible posture

Has Ikura's 2A always been this small? 🤔 Like, I know that her jumps overall are small and underrotated like at least half of the time, but I never noticed her Axel in particular :scratch2:
