2021 US Nationals Junior Ladies

[Spun Silver]

In spite of the music Ava was exquisite. Def one to watch.

 

[Spun Silver]

So is she the iceberg?

Just her nerves I hope.

 

[Rukia]

She really likes both hands over the head when jumping, but she seems mostly successful so keep on keeping on I guess.

 

[my3sons]

i wish there was a Zayak rule for hands over the head. Looks like the jumps she did that on are under review.

I think she fell on them in the short program. It must be difficult to change that if she learned the jumps that way.

 

[Spun Silver]

Why do juniors use OSTs while seniors use horrible covers?

 

[Sylvia]

Maryn Pierce got credit for her 3Lz+3T but her second 3-3 was called 3F+3T<<.

Darn, the live tracker is no longer working

ETA, now its back. Maybe is is just me since it is so far ahead of my feed

 

[skipaway]

For some reason I feel Kate’s uni is terribly unflattering. My eyes get drawn downward to the clunky boots.

 

[Wyliefan]

Bless this child, she thinks it's her duty to keep the audience from getting bored in the K&C.

 

[Debbie S]

Kate is adorable. I love how she showed off her water bottle and thanked fans for watching.

"It is what it is."

I hope I get to see more of her in the future.

She was cracking me up...and the ending “It is what it is.” And she said everything so seriously! I loved it!

 

[Wyliefan]

Kanon's a little star. She reminds me of little Alysa Liu.

 

[Rukia]

What a great skate. And that last spin was fab!

 

[Jammers]

Holy cow a star is born.

 

[just tuned in]

They should take the flappy shoulders off Smith's costume for Jr. Worlds. Oh wait...

 

[Spun Silver]

She does look and spin like baby Mirai. Adorable and so tough and talented. But such small jumps.

 

[Lacey]

Kanon for the win!

 

[toddlj]

Kanon's eyes popped at her score!

 

[my3sons]

She Is so cute!

I think her jumps are bigger than Isabeau’s. Although, Claire Seo has the biggest jumps of the 3. I enjoy her a lot!

Kanon's only 12 and she has better technique then Isabeau plus she skates with speed which will help her for the future.

 

[Wyliefan]

Great speed from Clare, but I wish she'd learn to watch out for the wall. Some of her jumps almost gave me heart failure, and she nearly decapitated a cutout with her blade. Kaori's assassin spiral has nothing on her.

 

[mjb52]

Can you rewind on Peacock? Just tuned in and missed Kanon.

I agree completely. Don’t get me wrong, Isabeau is a gorgeous skater and doesn’t hit a bad position. However, I’ve been saying for years her jumps entries are gimmicky. It’s like she can’t do a plain entrance and I just don’t think they are secure enough to survive a growth spurt. Plus when I saw her in person in Greensboro, she was so very slow. However, I hope she keeps improving. We need a good crop of US ladies!!

 

[Wyliefan]

Can you rewind on Peacock? Just tuned in and missed Kanon.

I'm not sure. But I think you can watch the whole event afterwards.

 

[Wyliefan]

Junior girls are absolutely adorable in the K&C!

Tamnhi has power, but someone needs to teach her to control it. She attacks those jumps so hard, they have no chance for their lives.

 

[mjb52]

She's so gracious. These skaters are really too cute. What a long wait for the scores a few of them have had.

 

[Wyliefan]

Yep, I definitely see the resemblance to Sasha Cohen.

 

[Rukia]

Isabeau is very talented, but I think I'd have Kanon over her.
