2026 Junior Worlds Championships | Pairs' Short Program

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Apart from the slightly forwards throw, this was a great program from Ava and Yoni, I''m so glad to see them skating confidently after a few rough senior events to start the year off. They skate so much like a senior team with their performance and transitions, they were a little more reserved tonight but still really strong.

That was a mature skate from Kemp/Elizarov

Nicely done from Ava KEMP / Yohnatan ELIZAROV

 

[bartlebooth]

They ended early?

 

[cocteautwin]

That was really nice, I love this program for them

 

[lileychristie]

Ava & Yohna is solid tonight, but a bit rushing ahead of the music

 

[lileychristie]

Ohh is that new costumes for Jazzy and Kiki? Or am I just amnesiac

 

[bartlebooth]

I know all the guys in this group are over 20, but that hardly qualifies them for the the title of "old man".

If it does, what does that make me?!

damn throw

Fun energy and charisma from Jazmine DESROCHERS / Kieran THRASHER.

 

[cocteautwin]

Well done, that's the best they skated this program so far. Throws are their big weakness but everything else was pretty solid (spin not so much), nice steps level 4

 

[FlossieH]

Two footed from Jazmine on the throw but they somehow have a higher provisional TES than Kemp/Elizarov and will get higher in the performance bit of the PCS.

 

[lileychristie]

Woahhh Jazzy and Kiki are also bringing it tonight Provisional TES higher than Ava & Yohna!

I really really hope this team stays together, they have such a strong, unique presence on the ice

 

[lileychristie]

Jazzy & Kiki took the lead with a PB!!!! Very well deserved

 

[elektra blue]

and now for something entirely different...

 

[FlossieH]

Both Canadian pairs have a TES of 35.57!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

I really like the way that Mark is acknowledging that the ISU SB's and PB's are not necessarily the highest scores that the skaters have achieved. That they have probably scored higher domestically or at international events that do not count towards them.

It always grates me when certain other commentators say that a skater has just achieved "their highest ever score", when you know fine well that it isn't!

Enjoyed Olivia and Luke's step sequence with the split jumps.

 

[cocteautwin]

Oh no, Luke, you don't need this beard.
Anyway, I love Olivia's joy when she nails an element. They competed all year as seniors and this experiene is really visibe here.
