2026 Junior Worlds Championships | Pairs' Free Skate

Love the French team, but they haven't really progressed much. I think they were having harder tech elements in 2024 when they did this crazed doll program

I love this program, and I love this team, though they'll sure be disappointed with the two falls They have so many nice elements, it's just a matter of being patient, staying healthy and believing. I worry that their earlier success has just made them harder on themselves

Speaking of spooky programmes, here are Romane TÉLÉMAQUE / Lucas COULON (FRA).

Romane is wearing a lovely black dress and black tights. Lucas is wearing a black T-shirt and black trousers.

And Romane has a fall!

But apart from that, they were really good.

They were visibly disappointed coming off the ice.

Mark trying to dispel the suspicions we had yesterday about Jean Medard by emphasising how big a future Romane and Lucas have.

They go into the lead of both the FS and overall.

They are taking it in good spirits. They give bemused laughs.

They've had issues with injuries and, without wanting to say too much, I don't think you can expect skaters (especially pairs teams) to only progress as they go through puberty and deal with changing proportions. Many teams that teamed up as young as they did split at this age due to this.

Ah, the memories of how gloriously Andrew Torgashev skated this at the Olympics

Of course, there is only one of Andrew; he didn’t have to worry about matching his energy to that of a partner

Well done, kids Like Romane and Lucas, these two paired up very young and are now working through injuries and growth while trying to increase their technical difficulty. Their throws have increased in size and they have started attempting 3TTh in competition and the 3S as one of the solo sbs jumps, and while it's not perfect yet, they are starting to have some success with the triples.

Spooky programme yesterday. The Scorpions today.

Are Laura HECKOVA / Alex VALKY (SVK) trying to force my hand into expanding the Slovakian branch of my skating family?

Laura is wearing a black bra top, grey skirt, sparkly belt, and black tights. Alex is wearing a black T-shirt and black trousers.

I loved everything about that programme!!!

They may be so young, but they are good.

They go into the lead in both the FS, and overall.

go brits!

 

[moonvine]

Oh dear.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Bad cover alert. Not a fan of the screeching

I don’t think these lovely young people are fans of it, either

 

[Jumping_Bean]

The rare yeet and splat from the male partner - All the while she lands the throw beautifully He was a little off after that, understandably.
I really believe in their potential though, they have improved so much, it's just a matter of putting it all together in one program now.

 

[elektra blue]

a series of unfortunate mistakes, but they look happy with it

I already adopted them, just been dragging my feet when it comes to updating their thread regularly, oops

Rough skate. They seem to be handling it well.

Ted and his "Neem"

Neamh DAVISON / Daniel BORISOV (GBR) skating to a very different female cover of Aerosmith's "Dream On". I don't like it. Especially when she started wailing towards the end.

Neamh is wearing a grey top and black leggings. Daniel is wearing a black top with coloured sparklies, and black trousers.

Nothing against Neamh and Daniel, but I didn't really enjoy that. And it was all because of the music.

Freak fall for Daniel when he threw Neamh. But, other than that, they skated well.

They were delighted when they finished.

Being very supportive waiting for their scores.

They go into 4th position in theFS, and 3rfd position overall.

Time for me to leave for my Irish Stew (how appropriate that I am eating that just after watching a girl with an Irish name!)

See you later.

All the best to those that will skate while I'm eating.

i see Irina is wearing something in italian blu

 

[elektra blue]

sadly, Mark, no one of our baby or senior pairs can replicate Conti/Maci or Ghilardi/Ambrosini's success at the moment

 

[Sally1214]

Well, the Brits certainly had some problems but I loved the way Neamh supported Daniel immediately after a mishap. The eye contact and the beautiful smile that said, "it's okay." Wonderful connection and chemistry between these skaters.

forza Irina e Edoardo!
