2026 Junior World Championships | Men's Short Program

[Jumping_Bean]

Beautiful program! I don;t remember him attempting triple axel in the short.

Only his third time attempting it in competition, second time in the Short. Very new element for him, indeed.

Congratulations to Yu-Hsiang Li on becoming the first qualifier to the free.

We're halfway through. It's a good time to open my fav snacks (peanut crisps).

someone here is fan of a certain japanese skater i see. nice performance, jumps didn't happen

It was giving me Shoma vibes...but it's easy for me to see Shoma resemblances as a Shoma fan, lol

And we have a Q!!!!



And it goes to LI Yu-Hsiang (TPE).

Hiro KAEWTATHIP (THA) goes into 2nd position, but is a whisker off 10 points behind.

So, lots of room for subsequent skaters to slot in between them.

Hopefully he will end up getting through.

While he waits, he is now getting interviewed.

Congratulations to Yu-Hsiang Li on becoming the first qualifier to the free.

Met Jordan several times when he was coming to Detroit to train with Yuka Sato for several summers, and he's such a very sweet kid. Very well liked by other kids at the rink

I see my Taiwanese hero is in, yay

Lucius looks like Gogo's lost twin

Mark is talking about the ISU's decision making processes, and saying that they do care intensely about the sport, and the impression that many fans have that they don't is misguided.

Do you get the impression that he is having a dig at us?

let me react to this in a very sober way

 

[Karoltyna]

Still waiting for someone to use Sir Christopher Lee version...

 

[elektra blue]

His costume in 2020 makes me think you might be right

A bit messy from T.Vaclavik, but I think he was a late sub? He probably wasn't fully prepared.

Mark is very much so an optimist and a kind soul. He has somehow managed to remain positive through a whole career as a skater and commentator, despite having heard warhorse after warhorse and seen epic splat after epic splat. I think other fans are not nearly as positive and optimistic as he is (I usually see the glass as being half-full, but I do have my bad days where I wish to become an alcoholic), hence some of the... shall we say... disconnect? between him and the rest of the skating fandom towards the ISU and rule changes.
