Xuanqi is a little star! And that was a stellar performance from them.

Their pairs elements are just so good. They are also starting to connect with the music and each other more and more, Xuanqi in particular. Hugs all around, so sweet <3 And their training mates in the stands to support them Ah, the JGPF and Jr Worlds will be so interesting this season (A certain team can stay at home, you know who they are. Though it would be funny for them to be beaten by “proper” juniors).

I will miss at least first 2 groups of girls so see you some time later

The strategy was fine. They could have made it if they were clean with the lower content. That's the real issue. If you are going to water down the content, execution needs to be flawless. In some ways, I don't like this strategy because as soon as a mistake is made, there is tension and pressure built in.

That's what I meant by being a bit sloppy. This should have been doable.
I am still a big fan of them. Just going to chalk it up to a learning experience.

I kinda don't believe you

I am going to have to skip the girls and watch them another time. Trying to watch and work at the same time hasn't been very successful this week. I need to move between laptops and the keyboards are different enough for me to need to retype a lot of words.

JGPF Qualification standings:
Qualified:

1. Ava KEMP / Yohnathan ELIZAROV (CAN) - 15+15=30 (355.34)
2. Xuanqi ZHANG / Wenqiang FENG (CHN) - 15+13=28 (329.87)
3. Rui GUO / Yiwen ZHANG (CHN) - 15+13=28 (329.17)
4. Jazmine DESROCHERS / Kieran THRASHER (CAN) - 13+13=26 (321.15)
5. Julia QUATTROCCHI / Etienne LACASSE (CAN) - 11+9=20 (297.02)
6. Yuxuan CHEN / Yinbo DONG (CHN) - 11+9=20 (285.37)

Alternates:

1. Naomi WILLIAMS / Lachlan LEWER (USA) - 11+7=18 (305.83)
2. Reagan MOSS / Jakub GALBAVY (USA) - 9+9=18 (291.14)
3. Sofia JARMOC / Luke WITKOWSKI (USA) - 11+3=14 (274.99)

Really bitter situation for Williams/Lewer. First alternates with a higher combined score than the teams making it into the JGPF in 5th and 6th. That's life for you, and a very painful lesson to never play it too safe.

So Mark knows your GS name...he said crowns by @NoNameFace

He was just passing under the stands and waved to me, as I'm finishing crowns

Also when you make a lot of last minute changes they are not what you have been practicing. Perhaps maybe better to stay with what you have in muscle memory. Either way, they will learn from this and be stronger. Sometimes you learn the most when you fail.
