[Wyliefan]

If you'd told me last week that Mei Okada would be skating first in the free ...

 

[Karen-W]

LOL - love how Ted is pointing out to Mark that many of these 3As in juniors might not make it to seniors. Reminds Mark that Alysa had a 3A and a 4Lz as a junior but doesn't have either now and she just won the Olympics.

Yes, I do think the likelihood of several of these gals successfully bringing their 3As to seniors is high but it doesn't necessarily mean they're going to win.

 

[Kateri]

Awwww, awesome redemption skate at home for Elina.

 

[Sally1214]

Wonderful clean skate for Elina. Loved seeing her joy at the end. And, I also thought that red teddy bear she was holding in the K/C was pretty cool.

 

[MsZem]

Normally I am all for unconventional music choices, but Venla's felt like the soundtrack to a headache relief commercial. Before said relief.

 

[my little pony]

I love a plain costume sometimes. every story isnt best told with 9 lbs of bugle beads.

 

[allezfred]

Appropriate for the times we are in.

 

[Kateri]

The editing choices made in Ghezzo's Chicago LP are just the most confusing thing.

 

[Wyliefan]

The editing choices made in Ghezzo's Chicago LP are just the most confusing thing.

Of all the terrible Chicago cuts we've heard in skating, those were some of the worst. She really offed the guy just for popping his gum!

 

[Kateri]

Of all the terrible Chicago cuts we've heard in skating, those were some of the worst. She really offed the guy just for popping his gum!

It's so confusing. She uses over a minute of the song intro, then cuts it off halfway through a verse?

 

[Flip Jump]

I can feel that Korea could possibly slip to 1 junior worlds spot next year
Please no! Let’s go Jiyu

 

[Wyliefan]

Ted would keep getting himself into the worst messes if Mark weren't there to keep correcting him.

[I'm watching without sound so I can participate in a Zoom meeting]

 

[Cachoo]

Enjoyed the interview with Niina.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Some strange choreographical choices from Alica.
Nice jumping technique, though.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

And Dzhumaniyazova wins the award for least chances of having her last name pronounced correctly.

 

[Karen-W]

That was rough for Polina. This is going to drop like a rock.

 

[Sarah]

That was rough to watch.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Nora

 

[Kateri]

Mark's use of the word "showcased" is increasing to 4 or 5 times per skater. At this rate, we're going to see a double-sentence event any moment.

 

[Wyliefan]

Last place. Ouch.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I'm not the biggest fan of Huh's jumping technique. Something tells me she won't land anything after growing a cm.

 

[Wyliefan]

Nice job, Jiyu! She looks so happy.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, the KSU can breathe a little easier knowing they'll keep 2 spots. Lovely from Jiyu even if her style is 100% Korean woman cookie-cutter.

 

[jlai]

There is no huh about Huh's skating. Wonderful

 

[skateycat]

Joining the competition in progress…

I like Huh’s dress’s colors. The jumps were small but soft smooth and graceful. Just that one spin where even in no teknik me thought “ooh that spin is going to get a red blob.”

 

[Sarah]

Jump rotations aside (they won’t get better with Tammy), there is something really lovely about Angela Shao.

 

[Karen-W]

Quite nice from Angela, but she needs to work on those spin levels - giving away points needlessly that she may very well need to remain ahead of Jiyu.
