Junior Grand Prix Varese Ladies SP: Results; Protocols
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh13-tKM9ZQ
Vasilisa finished 12th out of 36 in the SP, with a score of 55.21.
Unfortunately, I was not able to watch the entire Ladies SP, because there is so much on this weekend. However, I did break away to watch the Group 1 Warm-Up and my two kids that were in that group.
Before the action started, I wrote an introduction post about my two kids. Here is the part that I wrote about Vasilisa:
Here is what I wrote about the Warm-Up in the competition thread:

Although not about skating, when Vasilisa was being introduced, my good friend in Sicily, @elektra blue, sparked an interesting conversation with this comment:

And so will I! Along with @elektra blue's initial observation.
Anyway, getting back to the skating. The first comment about the programme from other members had come from @labgoat:

Vasilisa is currently 1.06 points behind 11th position, Amanda GHEZZO (ITA), and 0.21 points ahead of 13th position, KO Nayeon (KOR). All three of them are part of a larger group where 25 skaters are covered by 17.99 points, stretching from WANG Yihan (CHN) in 2nd position, 5.70 points ahead of Vasilisa, down to Olivia LENGYELOVA (SVK) in 26th position, 12.29 points behind Vasilisa.
That was using my normal method of using a 2 point gap to define groups. If we use a 1.5 point gap, then all three of them are part of a larger group where 15 skaters are covered by 7.87 points, stretching from WANG Yihan (CHN) in 2nd position, 5.70 points ahead of Vasilisa, down to Eve DUBECQ (FRA) in 16th position, 2.17 points behind Vasilisa.
In a competition this tight, anything can happen. With a good Free Skate, Vasilisa could potentially climb all the way to the podium. However, if she makes any mistakes, she could slip down the order.
But, she does tend to do better in the Free Skate than the Short Programme. So, let's hope she does so today as well.
WELL DONE VASILISA!!!
The Junior Ladies FS is due to start today at 16:20:00 CEST (14:20:00 GMT / 15:20:00 BST / 17:20:00 EEST / 17:20:00 MSK). So 9 hours from now.
Vasilisa will be the 25th skater to start. So, first skater to go in Group 5 (and first skater to go after the second resurfacing).
The Group 5 Warm-Up is due to start at 19:59:00 CEST (17:59:00 GMT / 18:59:00 BST / 20:59:00 EEST / 20:59:00 MSK). So 12h 39m from now.
Vasilisa is due to start at 20:05:30 CEST (18:05:30 GMT / 19:05:30 BST / 21:05:30 EEST / 21:05:30 MSK). So 12h 45m from now.
But, those times may change if somebody that is due on before her withdraws.

Before the action started, I wrote an introduction post about my two kids. Here is the part that I wrote about Vasilisa:
Two of my kids are making their Junior GP debut in the opening group.
Kicking off the competition is Vasilisa Bogomolova (CYP), who I was referring to last season as "my little flame-haired Duracell Bunny". The reason is self-explanatory - she had red hair, and she just has so much energy. I may have to change that this season, though, as the last I saw she had gone back to her natural blonde hair colour.
I really rate Vasilisa. After seeing her first couple of Junior competitions last season, I was convinced she was going to go unbeaten right up until she got to Junior Worlds. But, things went off track mid-season, and she ended up as second substitute for Junior Worlds. But she came back in style at the México Cup a few weeks later, which is where she debuted her programmes for this season.
Unfortunately, the Free Skate programme which conclusively won her the title isn't on YouTube. But here is her less-than-perfect Short Programme:
Vasilisa Bogomolova - 2025 México Cup SP
...
Enjoy!
But back to the present and the skating.

Here is what I wrote about the Warm-Up in the competition thread:
Took a long time until we saw Vasilisa, and she was only briefly in shot. But it was long enough to confirm that she is back to blonde.
The camera finally focussed on her towards the end of the Warm-Up. So, we didn't see her doing much. Just taking off her jacket.
ALL THE BEST VASILISA!!!

And here is what I wrote about her programme:
Different dress to what she wore in México. Suffice to say, it is very pink!
She's grown since last season,
Camera lost her just after she started.
Lovely spin to start with.
Not the best landing on the first part of combination jump.
Next jump
Sit spin beautiful.
Actually, the rest of it was great!
A bit of confusion over whether to show the highlights or the results area!
Ted and Mark impressed.
She goes into the lead. Obviously.
WELL DONE VASILISA!!!

Bronze Medal and achieve her second highest ever SP score, her third highest international FS score, and her third highest international overall score is pretty good going. However, she will be annoyed that the Top 2 were able to pull so far ahead of her in the Free Skate, and that her Free Skate scores are still not near what she was achieving domestically in Russia.
GOLD MEDAL!!!
