2023 U.S. Junior Team Cup, July 6-7, Milwaukee, WI

[maureenfarone]

I had the same issue.

I called the number 708-409-9686 and was told it was a glitch and it was fixed. It is not fixed and I cannot watch the U. S. Junior Team Cup. I've called again and it goes directly to voice mail. I am ticked!

I had the same issue.

Try clicking the "Live Streaming Videos" button on top of the website and it should be there. The problem I'm having now is that it's saying "player error". Stream is working now for me

Thanks! It is working for me now - confusing that is labeled Skate Milwaukee. I am happy to watch.

I am getting the same message. I also purchased the 2 day pass for Thursday and Friday and am now getting the message that I need to purchase a 1 day pass.

I don't seem to find a way to contact them except for arranging for other services.

This isn't working for me either. I just emailed [email protected] and will see if anything changes. How frustrating, especially after paying $25.

Thanks for the tip. Whew. It is working now.

I followed ptvvibezz advice and clicked on the "livestreaming videos" at the top of the website and the video started playing. It is mislabeled as Skate Milwaukee but is actually the Junior Cup! Hope this helps. Oh, you got the message! Yes, love skating!

 

[sk8nlizard]

Yay! I figured out how to watch today, haven’t figured out replays but will figure that out later. I don’t think I will be able to watch the Junior Women live today so I will need to go back and watch!

 

[livetoskate]

I've got a nice view of the beach, sitting indoors watching skating! Martynov had a gorgeous triple loop and flip. Too bad about all the other mistakes.

Only making my campaign argument for him to switch to pairs stronger...

 

[livetoskate]

Wow, Beck Strommer! I never heard of him before but he's definitely one to watch. Such gorgeous, smooth skating, nice height on jumps, fast spins. I really enjoyed seeing him skate. He also looked thrilled.

 

[livetoskate]

Only making my campaign argument for him to switch to pairs stronger...

Yes, sad to say but I don't see him making a splash as a singles skater. He'd have more success (maybe) as a pairs skater.

 

[livetoskate]

Fegan was nice to watch too. He reminds me of a young Johnny Weir.

 

[Sylvia]

After group 2 Beck Strommer leads 186.57 (128.59 in FS), followed by Taira Shinohara (who skated to an instrumental piece then Japanese song/female vocal) 174.71 and 'Sasha' Fegan 173.20 who skated to last season's POTO ("Phantasia" featuring violinist Sarah Chang).

"Happy Kirk" Haugeto is in 5th (behind Martynov who skated to a les Miz medley) - he started with Middle Eastern hands and, no surprise, the Aladdin OST (songs were "Arabian Nights" & "Friend Like Me") is his music!

I hope that Kirk is still happy. From Rigoletto to Aladdin. Not sure that the JrGP is in the cards this year.

[Karen-W]

Whelp, junior men are gonn junior men, lol.

 

[Sylvia]

Triple Axel attempts today by 5 (eta) 6 of the 15 men (ETA so the 4 who are more likely to get a JGP, IMO, aside from Murzin):

Daniil Murzin (has aged out of ISU Junior this season): 3A+1Eu+3S (12.8 BV -0.8 GOE = 13 points); he also landed a 4S (turned out) in his POTO FS.

Jacob Sanchez landed his opening 3A+2A (11.3 BV + 0.8 GOE = 13.1 pts) but then popped his 2nd 3A plus too many other pops today. His dramatic FS music sounded really familiar (used by many skaters) but I blanked out the title/artist... anybody?

Michael Xie fell out of his 3A (-3.20 GOE) - based on his 2 consistent skates here I expect him to get one of the early JGPs.

Kai Kovar fell on his one 3A (his FS music is a slow-ish male cover of Coldplay's "Fix You").

Daniel Martynov popped what I assume was his opening 3A. He didn't looked trained enough for this comp. - a shame because he skated very well in his 10th place debut at 2023 Junior Worlds.

I really hope Beck Strommer gets one of the early JGPs based on the results here despite not having a 3A.

ETA on June 8 that I forgot to mention Nicholas Brooks who fell out of his opening 3A (new jump for him in comp.) in his FS to “Standards” & “Go Crazy” by Leslie Odom Jr.

 

[Karen-W]

I'd be surprised, even with the other jump issues, if Jacob Sanchez doesn't also receive one of the early JGP assignments since he did manage to land the 3A cleanly in both programs.

Highlight of group 1 was Teryn Kim - she leads with 151.55, 110.03 in her FS to classical ballet music (wearing a pink tutu & white gloves) and she stood up on all of her jump attempts (with some likely underotations, like her opening 3F+3T). Nice job!

She had a cute Blackpink SP, glad to see her do well in the free!

 

[ptvvibezz]

Poeta free for Josephine?

 

[Sylvia]

After group 2, Teryn Kim still leads in the FS but the current top 3 are:

Soho Lee 162.14, 108.62 FS to Moulin Rouge, incl. "One Day I'll Fly Away"
Josephine Lee 161.33, 108.58 FS to Poeta/flamenco
Logan Higase-Chen 158.24, 106.74 in FS to Florence+The Machine's "Breath of Life" from Snow White and the Hiunstman OST

 

[Sylvia]

Annika Chao landed everything she attempted in her FS music from last season, “Easy on Me” by Adele: 3T+3T, 3Lo, 3S, Ripp3Lz, Ripp3Lz+2T, Ripp3F+2A+2T & 2A - she has light jump landings and good extension on her long lines.
115.96 FS, 176.43 in 1st with 2 to go!

Mia Kalin (Carmen) - jumps: 4T pitched forward on landing, 4S fall, 2A, 3Lo, 3F+2A, 3Lz+2T, 3F+1Eu+3S off balance. 109.36 FS, 170.31 in 2nd.

3rd-5th:
Soho Lee 162.14
Josephine Lee 161.33
Cleo Park 159.02 - FS to music from The Lion King that she debuted at the Mexican Open in Adv. Novice in May

 

[Sylvia]

Final 2:

Sarah Everhardt (selections from Vivaldi’s 4 Seasons): 3Lz, 3F, 2A+3T, 3Lo fall, 3Lo+2A, 3Lz+2T+2Lo eked out, 3S.
108.89 FS 5th, 170.19 finishes 4th overall behind Chao & Kalin.

Elyce Lin-Gracey (“Anna’s Theme” from The Red Violin / “Not About Angels” by Birdy / “Remember Me“ by Thomas Bergersen): 3Lz+3T tight, 3S, 2A, 3Lo with falling leaf exit, 3F+2A+2T, 3F+2T, 3Lz.
126.67 FS, 188.55 - she wins!

 

[Frau Muller]

Mia Kalin (Carmen) - jumps: 4T pitched forward on landing, 4S fall, 2A, 3Lo, 3F+2A, 3Lz+2T, 3F+1Eu+3S off balance. 109.36 FS, 170.31 in 2nd.

Mia needs to stop this Russian Ultra-C thing. She should develop basics and style.

[Karen-W]

So, I'm guessing Elyce will be given 2 assignments, and possibly also Annika - both should receive early JGPs, with Mia Kalin and Sarah Everhardt getting 1 each to start out with, then we'll just have to wait and see how any extra spots pan out and some of the others like Josephine, Soho, Cleo and Logan do in some of the upcoming NQS comps.
