Supatashvili

Nice interpretation of the music, too many solo double axels, good moves in the field section. Could skate with more speed and of course, adding the harder jumps would also be a plus. Nice work.

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

An 80 in junior men for the SP is brushing up near Malinin levels a couple years ago. It's a great score.

Malinin at international competitons. Yes? Sanchez`80 was at Mid Atlantic regionals, I tbink.

Vaclavik

Paint it Black, but he's wearing blue. 1a. Fall on 3-3. Waltz jump. Jump technique looks pretty good, but couldn't quite finish all of them with a solid landing. Speed was okay. Needs more expression.

 

[Wyliefan]

Elias, dude, lose the long wrinkly illusion sleeves. They're freaky.

 

[jlai]

((The last group of jr men so far))

Sayed

Tiny jumps. Nice camel spin combo with a back catchfoot position. He needs more height on his jumps stat! Nice combo spin to finish.

 

[Sylvia]

Nakata’s jumps: high 4T! 3A+1Eu+3S, 3F then 3Lo both had smooth flow out, 3Lo+2T, 3T pitched forward, 3T+2A a bit shaky.

ETA: 148.80 in FS, 222.35 - both are ISU SB/PB!

 

[Wyliefan]

Rio's looking gassed at the end, but most of that was beautiful, including the opening quad.

 

[her grace]

Nakata

There's more choreo in the opening movements than several of the past programs. Calm 4t. 3a-1r-3s. Step up in quality big time. Basics are quite passable, but not to the Japan-exemplary level so hope he keeps working on those. Fun cantilever. Coherent thematic piece and elements are well-integrated into program.

 

[Frau Muller]

Lovely action-packed final minute by Rio Nakata!!! The Writing’s on the Wall for a JrGP final spot?

 

[Sylvia]

Ebihara’s jumps: 3A hard fall [eta: < in protocol], 3Lz+3T, 3F, (missed how he fell after spin?), 3Lo, 3Lz+2T, 2A+3T, 3S.

ETA: 131.07 FS, 207.17 & he is thrilled he will medal in his JGP debut!

 

[her grace]

Ebihara

3a fall to start, jumps aren't carrying much speed on the landings, but are landed with correct position and good extension on free leg. Random fall. Good step sequence. I like the bones of the program, he can add more interpretation and feeling to the movement to give it more effect.

 

[Wyliefan]

Not bad for Ebihara after the fall on the 3A. The spin got positive GOE, so they must have ruled that he fell after he was done, I guess. But of course that's 2 deductions, and his TES is already 5 points behind.

 

[Frau Muller]

Younger Japanese guy - not his day. Nakata will move up.

 

[her grace]

Ebihara celebrating his medal in k-n-c!

 

[Wyliefan]

Seo has such wonderful height on his jumps.

 

[Sylvia]

Minkyu Seo: 3A (landed on a bit of a lean), 3F+3T, 2A+3T high, 3Lo, 3Lz, 3F, 3S+2A.
His glide/acceleration across the ice is amazing!

Needs 146.69 to win

 

[her grace]

Seo

floaty 3a to start, soft knees on his jump landings with good flow out, emotional engagement with the music. Fantastic!

 

[jlai]

Looks like Seo will win this one

 

[Wyliefan]

What a gorgeous skate! This little guy steps on the ice and just takes command.

 

[Frau Muller]

Dream of a skate by Seo of !!!
PRAYERS for Notre-Dame de Paris!!!

 

[Karen-W]

Seo was really good today! I think he's just booked his ticket to the JGPF - so has Rio, though, which is nice.

 

[jlai]

Will be back watching the last two flights of jr dance. At least the last 3 jr men were good!

 

[Holy Headband]

Was this Minkyu's first successful 3A? I think so, at least in international competition.

Was this Minkyu's first successful 3A? I think so, at least in international competition.

Internationally, yes. I don't recall if he attempted 3A at Nationals.

Oh. Boys.

 

[Holy Headband]

Oh. Boys.

First Nakata fell on his entrance jump after being announced AND tripped over the carpet on his way to the podium, then Ebihara didn’t know what to do with his bouquet, then Nakata and Ebihara’s positions had to be corrected by the photographers for the podium photos... But all three medallists looked relaxed and were joking around with each other, unlike the ice dance podium’s atmosphere, which was a bit more reserved. And Seo’s coaches made him put on a flower crown that matched his costume… Most stylish 14-year-old boy I’ve seen in a while.

Edit: Apparently the crown was made for him by a Korean fan:
