Rena is usually very consistent in and excels with her technical elements, so it was a bit surprising to see her make a mistake on the combo, but she came back fighting with that lutz. Her performance is very good, but not quite at that next level of some of the older skaters. However, I think she will be really incredible in a year or two as she continues to mature as a skater

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Rena She's had negative GOEs on any element in her SP like once the whole season, at Jr Nationals, and now here again. At least it wasn't a full fall, but still, she'll be unhappy with that

 

[EdgeCall]

Hm. Good skate, but maybe not what she desired.

 

[TallyT]

The music doesn't go together, but Desplat is always good for me.

 

[Jeanie19]

Rena. Beautiful dress. Except for the step out , a really good skate.

 

[YuBluByMe]

That’s actually Uezono’s worse performance of the SP Internationally. She saved that combo from being a complete disaster.

 

[icewhite]

I love her.

 

[lileychristie]

Ahh Rena, she's usually really consistent~ glad to see her still smiling after that though!

It's okay bb, it's only your first junior worlds and your first junior season
And there's still the free too! Ganbatte!

 

[TallyT]

I think Ted finally sprained his tongue...

The stream had a few issues before Maria skated, but fortunately they got it fixed once her program started. Of course, it reappeared at the end of her skate. She's another talent from Estonia, she has great refinement and her jumps are gorgeous. I can't wait to see what her continued work with Stephane brings out.

 

[bartlebooth]

Oh no, the streaming.
Good skate!

 

[Jeanie19]

Maria. Pretty dress and a pretty skate.

 

[elektra blue]

i'm back

 

[elektra blue]

I imagine you to live above a lovely trattoria at a piazza and you just have to go downstairs and the chef who's your uncle has already prepared everything.
Correct?

who am i to pop your fantasy?

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Iida has the same technique as Janna, and seeing how Janna is faring so far with injuries and puberty... I hope fate will be kinder to Iida.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Well done Iida! Spins are excellent!

SP: 64.64 (2nd) Q, PB

I love the dress, it's very art deco. Iida is such a good jumper, but her axel technique is bizarre. It's very similar to Janna Jyrkinen's, which means it must be a Finnish coach teaching it to more than one skater, which is... a choice.
