Junior Women - SP & FS

[Lizziebeth]

Emilia has really nice poise and expression for her age. (Whatever her age is. I couldn't find it online.)

March of 2010 according to her bio

 

[Sarah]

I really liked Emilia!

 

[Frau Muller]

Emilea - clean and easy style. Just one fall. Lovely overall.

 

[Aceon6]

Realistic girl, too!

 

[Spikefan]

See, pewter matters.

 

[Sarah]

A happy pewter (?) medalist!

 

[Wyliefan]

I was going to say, "Wait, she made it on the podium?" and then I remembered pewter!

 

[Aceon6]

I can’t with Cleo’s dress. It looks like the sale bin when they have the lingerie feeding frenzy at Nordstrom. And after Emilia’s jumps, these look downright sketch.

 

[Karen-W]

Kiera is from my neck of the woods so good to see someone so talented from here.

Same! I almost typed "go Portland ISC!" So great to see her podium again.

 

[Wyliefan]

That was nice. She's got good charisma and energy.

 

[Frau Muller]

CLEO!!! She hit it out of the PARK!

 

[Sarah]

Cleo's jumps definitely don't look as great after Emilia's, but I still like her style. Nice to see her have a decent skate.

 

[Jammers]

She trains in SoCal at the Great Ice center.

Yes but she's from Portland just a few miles from me.

 

[Rukia]

Kiera with the silver!

 

[Aceon6]

Nice podium.

 

[Karen-W]

Silver medal two years running for Keira!!!

 

[Wyliefan]

Good podium. I wish we could have just one more medal for Annika. Copper, maybe?

 

[Badams]

Awww, Cleo looked sad. Poor kid.

DH said...isn't there one more skater. He didn't know about pewter medals

I originally wrote "A happy pewter medalist!" without a (?) in there and then I added the (?) because I didn't want to jinx Cleo.

I'm sure she was disappointed though she did skate well. I just think Keira and Logan had more content and slightly better skates.

How many Junior girls landed clean 3-3s today? I counted five. Because our senior girls are not so good at it.

Age. By 17, I knew my left knee was done and I merely did ballet!

 

[skatingguy]

Oh come on. My granddaughter was born in 2021. This is getting too close.

So just another decade until she makes her nationals debut.

 

[PRlady]

So just another decade until she makes her nationals debut.

Ha. Not in my family. Debating team, maybe.

 

[skatfan]

Had to leave to drive to work in the middle of the final flight. Congrats to Keira - 2nd jr medal and can go the the JGP this fall! Will have to check out Cleo later.

 

[Frau Muller]

Excellent top 3!

Agreed, big congrats to Keira. She appears to have grown a bit since last year and she had a relatively rough (for her) sectionals, so it’s great to see her do so well here. Looking forward to her JGP debut!

 

[Dobre]

I quite enjoyed the short programs from all three of the top finishing junior ladies today. Kudos for some more entertaining choices than last season.
