JGP #7 - Abu Dhabi, UAE - Jr Women SP & FS

[floridaice]

Wow Hana!!

 

[Wyliefan]

And that's a medal! She's so thrilled!

 

[her grace]

I’m so happy! I really wanted Bath to medal this year on JGP.

 

[her grace]

Shiffrin

Maria Bute dress, 3z-3t that went up and down, nice 3f, very different style of program from SP—showing nice diversity in interpretation, turnout of 3z, halting 3s-2a-2t to end, she gave it her all

 

[Wyliefan]

Sophia Shifrin looks like someone famous -- I'm not sure who. First I thought Faye Dunaway, but I don't think that's it.

 

[Wyliefan]

Did we know that this gorgeous dress of Mao's was designed by Madison Chock? If so, I'd forgotten. She has quite a future as a designer!

 

[her grace]

Shimada

3f on a lean, 3a excellent, 3z-3t, Mao hurt is still pretty darn good, 3s-2t, soft landings with a glorious ride out, superlative spins to finish

 

[floridaice]

Even injured, Mao Shimada is wonderful.

 

[Citlali]

Mao

[her grace]

Shimada makes Final again. Kanazawa and Yuseong Kim take final spots.

 

[Citlali]

Did we know that this gorgeous dress of Mao's was designed by Madison Chock? If so, I'd forgotten. She has quite a future as a designer!

The dress is lovely... Madison

 

[Debbie S]

I think the presenters' outfits have more bling than the skaters'.

Great skates by the top 3!

Are those virtual flags? Just like SA last year...

 

[Karen-W]

I think the presenters' outfits have more bling than the skaters'.

Great skates by the top 3!

Are those virtual flags? Just like SA last year...

There have been multiple events with virtual flags rather than actual flags over the past few seasons.

 

[zigzig]

Mao was SUBLIME! That wonky flip almost seemed to zap her into focus and she was brilliant after that.

Bath - so exciting, can't wait for her to go to seniors when she can do the 3A in the short as her solo jump. Skating needs work but the pop and spring on her jumps is thrilling.

Shifrin - had some suss rotations that seemed to be generously overlooked. Reminds me of Svetlana Khorkina.

Youn - looked so scared and tentative out there. Lots of flip floppy placements here for her to stay in 4th with just a 10th place in the free.

Kushida - obsessed. Excited to see her growth as an ice dancer.

Gurgen - her programs are a lot but I like her commitment. Will be fun to watch her voidiness and creativity as a senior.

Huh - she's so talented, what a disappointing event for her.

 

[Kateri]

Another weird program for Inga. "Voidy," according to Mark.

I can't watch much live this week, but had to drop in to comment when he said that. That is very specific FSU jargon. We know you're in here, Mark!

The double Axel timing is completely gone at the moment. Otherwise it was lovely performance with strong non-jump elements.

The jumps on the planned program content were completely different from what was actually attempted, and it looks like she's upgrading her jump content.

Very solid skate for Rachel, and bonus points for doing a non-jump element near the top of the program.
