Canada will keep two spots!

Lulu makes the top 12! Wonderful for Canada

 

[skatingguy]

Lulu Lin is now at least 12th saving a 2nd spot at next year's World Junior Championships for Canada.

Inga helped Canada

 

[her grace]

2 spots for Italy at junior worlds next season.

 

[airgelaal]

Does Korea want to lose 3 spots?

A lovely ethereal quality to her skating, but too many errors in this program for it to be really successful. Looks like Korea may drop to 2 entries for next year.

111.22 = 9th Place
170.80 = 8th Place

YUSEONG KIM - The Lark Ascended for me! Absolutely gorgeous! My absolute favorite look…dress AND…HAIR ACCESSORY for the ages!

[airgelaal]

Oh my God. This is a disaster for Korea

 

[her grace]

Wow, hard to believe Korea would be in this position

 

[Lilia A]

Into 8th with 7 to go. They'll need Jia to do really well but also they'll need others to mess up to keep 3 spots

 

[her grace]

Nice skate by Uezono, looking relaxed and in the moment.

 

[ainouta]

Rena's free might be my favorite ladies' program of the season (across junior and senior).

 

[Kateri]

Uezono is just fabulous.

Wonderful. Some many moments in that program. Nice solid, and secure jumps, and spins, and she uses the music and performs to the audience which is so rare for a skater of her age.

132.74 = 1st Place
184.70 =1st Place

 

[PRlady]

Rena really has something for so young a skater. Good job.

 

[Frau Muller]

UEZONO a divine skater & dancer! Love her movements!

 

[Lilia A]

Well that was just lovely. Jumps are smooooooth. Should go into 1st for now unless the caller saw something I didn't.

That puts the pressure on the final flight - Uezono staking a claim to the podium.

Great score and reaction.

Skaters are only allowed one +2A sequence, no? If this is accurate, I guess the second one will be marked 3Lz+2A*? Costly error that probably dropped her 3 placements.

 

[Sylvia]

She's not listed in Elina Goidina's ISU bio under former coach but an Estonian fan during the SP YT live chat mentioned Elina used be coached by to Anna Levandi (eta that she switched "like one and half a year ago" I was told). Elina won both the senior (Petrokina was absent) & junior national titles this year.

That might help the Koreans a bit. Good for her for pulling it together after the opening couple of jumps, and finishing the program strongly.

109.86 = 12th Place
172.89 = 6th Place

 

[PRlady]

Well the dying at the end is a bit too much but a lovely skater.
