2026 Junior Worlds - Rhythm Dance

[Allen]

After Worlds I’m going to boycott MC, BSB and Ricky Martin for at least a decade.

Yes, but also, I have been so excited to see Groove is in the Heart and Around the World, two of my favorite songs, on this kind of level.

 

[Debbie S]

A/V have the best Vogue of the season.

Wow, those top scores are tight.

 

[just tuned in]

No mention from Chris and Mark about Americans Blake and Gilman's move to compete for ISR just this year. He said they've been together for only a few years, but actually it has been a long time.

 

[Sylvia]

I assume that Julia Epps/Blake Gilman would not have switched had they been given a JGP by USFS...

They've been skating together since August 2015!

Epps/Gilman historically have a slow start to their season (when JGP assignments are being decided) and then gain a lot of ground by nationals. That pattern didn't help them earn JGPs for the U.S. IMO.

Is it acceptable I find the Junior worlds more exciting for ice-dance than the Senior ones?
These junior couples are pure fire!
I didn't know Czechs come not only in siblings form, Aboian is a diva of Fusar-Polesque proportions, and the only reason why I'm not girlscreaming for M/Bigot is that my voice is too low.
Can't wait for all this crop to move to the seniors and make the likes of whoever is left there eat dust.

Thing is they move up then don't do as well.Neset Markolov Bashynska Beaumont Yanovskaya Mozgov to name a few .
