2025 JGP Solidarity Cup Women's Short Program

[Jeanie19]

Zofia. Pretty dress and a great program. Great skate in front of home crowd.

 

[Karoltyna]

Nice start from Zosia! First time I see her and I didn't expect such advanced jumping content. Spins definitely need more attention though.

I;m following her since last year, she is most promissing of our girls now

 

[FlossieH]

Is she Zofia or Zosia? The ISU results page says 'Zofia'.

 

[lileychristie]

But I'm here to cheer for Zosia, my fav polish junior at the moment

Is her name Zosia or Zofia?

Her ISU Bio states Zofia, is that a typo?

 

[TallyT]

Love the jumpsuit...

 

[brblja]

That was so nice for Zofia! There were some issues with the technical éléments, but he got way higher PCS than even in domestic events last season!

Zosia is diminution from Zofia

 

[elektra blue]

good morning folks!

It’s the same name. Basically all Polish names have at least two different forms, one is the form you use day-to-day that’s more colloquial or sometimes diminuitive (es’ecially for women/girls) and the other one is the full/official name that a lot of people use only in documents (or that grandmas use when they’re disappointed with you ).

Zofia - official/full name
Zosia - colloquial/diminuitive

 

[FlossieH]

Nice spins from Ketevan.

I do this all the time, my boy is his official name when he does things I don't like

 

[lileychristie]

Jumps not working for Ketevan tonight, but her spins are good. Nice costume & cartwheel too

 

[Jeanie19]

Ketevan. Pretty bodysuit. Rough beginning, but finished strong. Good spins and program.

 

[TallyT]

I'm sorry, I love junior comps but we are three in and I am forcibly persuaded that the folks who loathe detest and abominate vocal music have... a case.

 

[elektra blue]

nice performance from Paula

skaters could pick good songs with good vocals and the problem would be solved. it's so easy actually

 

[Jeanie19]

Paula. Pretty black dress. Nice program and skate.

I agree some vocal tracks just don't work for skating, but in general I like the variety vocal music gives to the programs. And when you're younger, perhaps it's easier to interpret music with vocals than without.

I don't think I can go through 38 junior programs with all instrumental music

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Drat! I got my times messed up.

It's National Poetry Day
But in Gdańsk I'm not going to play
Because I'm watching the girls in Almaty​

I know, it took me ages to come up with something, yet it's still useless! I'm no good with poetry!

Seriously though, this is bad scheduling. The Junior Ladies SP in Gdańsk starting 15 minutes before the Junior Ladies SP in Almaty.

So I'm going to concentrate on the Denis Ten Memorial, but pop over here to the Solidarity Cup every now and again.

ALL THE BEST EVERYBODY!!!
