It feels absurd, looking back, that Kihira didn’t get a single JGP Final or Junior World medal in her junior career, but boy was she a back then.

 

[Colonel Green]

I had forgotten how many teams used "Blah Blah Cha Cha" that season.

 

[DobrinFan]

Why is there no sign?

Good luck to all my boys, not a single clean SP among them

 

[DobrinFan]

Group 4. They all look so young even Davide LB. I saw him in Graz and thought he was 25

 

[DobrinFan]

My first time seeing Shmuratko so young. Nice. A bit bland.

I wonder what happened to Zenko and Folkesson?

Baby Danielian! ? Beautiful 3A and level 4 steps! My most beloved child ?

Donovan was fun Always nice to watch him. Sunny kid!

Blackout! Is Sofia trying to save on the light bill?

Trying to watch this and Nebelhorn at the same time Sahaka Sofia is on at the same time as Sahaka Nebelhorn The dilemma.... Sofia>>>Nebelhorn.

Miyake sure is handsome That was probably his last good skate....

Camden ? but what a That combo was his nemesis all season.

Phan ? Not bad. The best SP of Joseph (IMO). I miss his old coaching team.

Dying to know what Ted thinks of Sumoto and his colorful interpretation to "Singing in the Rain" ? Nice jumps, good skate ? #NotMySkater

Erokhov interprets as well as Sumoto. Boring but good skate ? #NotMySkater

Orzel Decent program. Conrad has regressed in PCS under Orser (JMO). I miss the old coaching team.

Oh Pavlov....why did he switch to pairs? ?

Matteo ? Pity about the combo. Best SP of Matteo (IMO).

Alexei K ? #NotMySkater

Off topic: What does Deniss V have on? That's R&J? Dang feed froze.

Savosin

Tomoki ? My favorite SP of his, his best!!! But what a I pray every time he jumps an axel!!!

Off to watch Nebelhorn!!! Just in time for Matteo

 

[DobrinFan]

Ted didn't disappoint ? A couple of gems in there Pity he doesn't commentate on the whole competition ?

 

[DobrinFan]

Free

Camden ? Solid skate, nice axels, love the costume and music! Spins as usual. Congrats on 6th!!! ?

Conrad's program was nice, the jumps a mess. Oh well ?‍

Joseph ? Love this FP. Good skate. Small bronze and so close to big bronze

Savosin, I always liked this FP. The best will come in 12 months time Congrats on 5th!

Miyake LesMis FP >>>>> Sumoto LesMis FP. Nuff said.

Hiwatashi ? undoubtedly has the best set of programs and costumes here! Jumps be damned, that's a good program. Footwork level 4 with great GOE (deserved!). Like Roman, 12 months time

Danielian ? Helllz yes. Clean skate, beautiful axels, highest GOE here (deservedly), loved the footwork, program ?‍ Congrats on silver!!! ?

Sihyeong I like but what the hell were those programs ?

Rizzo ? Ted agrees with me, best FP of Matteo! Damn those popped jumps but good enough for bronze!!! ?

Alex K. ?

Erokhov. Congrats on gold ? but like Browning said, it's like he's skating to someone else's program...

And I would like to thank the ISU and Ted for all the interviews and Ted's takes, really enjoyed all those, especially Matteo and JunHwan ?

Next week we get to relive 2019 Junior Worlds and its atrocious camerawork.

Next week we get to relive 2019 Junior Worlds and its atrocious camerawork.

And the PCS scores that offended me and my sons. I was there live in Zagreb. Warm city, warm arena, cheap prices for everything!!!!

Looking forward to the rewatch. And L&L have an interview with Ted!
