2026 Junior Worlds - Women SP

[Karen-W]

Wang is another one who is dull as dishwater, even if the elements were well-done. Zero expression.

 

[Hanna]

Love Wang's spins!

 

[Wyliefan]

Motion to ban "Big Spender" from junior competitions. It's a great song, but not for kids.

 

[Karen-W]

Ugh. If I never see another 16-yr old skating to "Big Spender" it won't be soon enough.

 

[her grace]

Shifrin

Some nice detail in her presentation, clean long-limbed look, good linking transitions in her choreography, and her combo was spot on

 

[Debbie S]

I hate Big Spender for a teenager, but Sophia skated it very well.

[Debbie S]

Mark, stop getting your news from TSL.

 

[Sally1214]

Love Wang's spins!

Me too. Did the man sitting next to her (was that her coach?) in the K/C utter a single word to her? Not much of a talker, I guess.

 

[Colonel Green]

I thought she was going to hit the boards on that combo, but nope, nicely done.

EDIT: Fall on loop.

 

[her grace]

Kims and junior worlds don't mix.

 

[Wyliefan]

That was some reaction from that one coach to the loop. Looked like she was going to walk straight out of the building.

 

[her grace]

Tzimpoukakis

the 3t on her combo rotated into the ice, nice speed throughout program, think she's performed this with more vim and vigor previously--a bit tight today

 

[Karen-W]

The depth with the Swiss junior women is just crazy.

 

[Hanna]

Finally a big Kaori-like 2a from someone I really appreciate Leandra's power skating amongst all the smaller and prettier type of skaters

 

[her grace]

Gurgendize's 3z in her 3z-3t combo just flew into the air-excellent, nice ease in her performance, can't wait to see her launch to seniors next season

 

[Wyliefan]

Terrific skate for Inga! Great speed, expression, spring in her jumps.

 

[Karen-W]

Cute program from Inga! Such a contrast from the scary, dead-eyed, horror movie-esque FS she had a couple years ago.

 

[JoannaLouise]

I love that we always see so much personality from Inga - sometimes fun and sometimes dramatic, but she's never afraid to stand out and be different.

 

[my little pony]

im kind of obsessed with Inga, that was so joyful

 

[Wyliefan]

I'd have had that 3rd. But it's not too far out of 3rd.

 

[Hanna]

Yay very nice from Inga

 

[Sally1214]

Oh, Inga brought the FUN. Loved that.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Gerke's Dune program is so very dull.

I was shown a video last week where she gave a very unique expression in the kiss and cry I guess to the judges, I couldn’t believe. But was funny.

 

[Wyliefan]

Stefania's skating is maturing nicely. She doesn't go rushing around the ice like she used to.

 

[Karen-W]

Lovely program for Stefania. Ted's telling us she's getting some rotation calls, so she may not make the penultimate group for the FS, but will still qualify.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Lovely program for Stefania. Ted's telling us she's getting some rotation calls, so she may not make the penultimate group for the FS, but will still qualify.

She looks so different this season, it’s like had a major year of growth

 

[Wyliefan]

I can't believe Mao's actually going to be a senior at last!

 

[Karen-W]

If Alice Smith's costume was VERY orange then Mao Shimada's is VERY Pepto Bismol pink.

 

[Colonel Green]

Time for Mao to “get happy” at the thought of not being in junior anymore.
