2024 Winter Youth Olympic Games, Gangwon KOR, Jan. 26-Feb. 1

[Karen-W]

CAN - nice twist, excellent SBS 3s, very nice & fast lift! Good SBS combo too. They are certainly a stronger team than Smith/McPike, so I expect they'll win this segment, but this pairs spin went on way too long, lol.

 

[Desperado]

Yeah Canadians!

Another ice resurfacing!

 

[Desperado]

Wrong thread… off to bed.

 

[victorskid]

The men are warming up.

 

[Wyliefan]

It can't be easy to skate to a bunch of snaps and whistles.

 

[victorskid]

The Men FS is done.

The team standings now:

​

1	United States of America	USA	12	4		4	4
2	Republic of Korea	KOR	8	5		-	3
3	Canada	CAN	8	2		5	1
4	France	FRA	6	1		-	5
5	People's Republic of China	CHN	5	3		-	2

And the final ice resurfacing is underway.

Jia has been robbed of more titles in her junior career so far than all Japanese women combined in the last 10 years. How they could do this to her on home ice is beyond me.

Why did her combo spin in the long not get credit?

 

[4rkidz]

Women next

 

[victorskid]

Can Kaiya do enough to keep Canada in the bronze medal position??

 

[Frau Muller]

Can Kaiya do enough to keep Canada in the bronze medal position??

How did Sherry Zhang do?

 

[victorskid]

And the event concludes with a bronze medal for Canada - can the "powers that be" make the same result come true from Beijing???

The final results:

1	Republic of Korea	KOR	13	5	5	-	3
2	United States of America	USA	12	4	4	[4]	4
3	Canada	CAN	9	2	2	5	[1]
4	People's Republic of China	CHN	8	3	3	-	2
5	France	FRA	7	1	1	-	5

 

[Frau Muller]

Thorngren did well…kinda a smile there?

Like her transitions.

 

[crzesk8dad]

How did Sherry Zhang do?

She was very good, a bit better in her FS single comp however. Score of 122.?

Oooooo… Ziegler into the final group of six!

 

[Frau Muller]

Mai Mihara - Lovely floating quality, despite the one fall. One of two 4Cs ex-champions here.

 

[Frau Muller]

Lee very disappointing with two falls. Oh rats!

So it’s three Japanese & two Koreans + Ava Ziegler in final top six!

 

[victorskid]

A reminder that this is the thread about the Winter Youth Olympics Games taking place in South Korea and specifically about the figure skating

Nice that Kaiya had a redemption skate for the long so the team could get bronze. Nice to see some nice young athletes, I especially liked Gao Shiqi was a great little skater - I will watch out for her next year. What a wonderful experience for all - what a thrill to skate in Korea where they appreciate their figure skating so much.

[victorskid]
