World Juniors 2025 - Jr Women SP

[Karen-W]

Oh dear... Yujae's having a disaster of a program - issues on every single jumping pass, including a 2f that was wonky. PCS is going to give her an undeserved boost and may be enough to keep her in the FS, but that's only if her TES holds & I expect it to drop.

One skater away from Veronika Kim making the FS.

Gah. TES held, which I question.

Kim

2a and flips out—hand reached for ice, not sure if touched, 3z-3t landed first jump with thud and had to muscle the second one, bailed on 2f in air

This is becoming a disaster for Koreans just like last year when they dropped a spot

 

[Colonel Green]

Korea only have two girls here? Huh.

I was confused by that at first, but last year Jia was second and the Kims were fifteenth and sixteenth.

 

[Karen-W]

Korea only have two girls here? Huh.

Yup - the Kim twins didn't do particularly well last year & Korea dropped to two spots. I'm thinking they're going to only have two spots again next year.

 

[Stephanie]

Korean Fed

Yeah, the depth in juniors isn't really there, which is kinda surprising - I was expecting the post-Yuna boom to last longer!

 

[her grace]

Lowest TES of any qualifier

 

[Karen-W]

So, is Brandenburg inspired by Shcherbakova or CarPon?

 

[Colonel Green]

Fall on nothing into a combination, back half looked <<.

 

[Karen-W]

Ooooof - random fall on nothing for Brandenburg; held onto the 3z+3t that came afterward, but it was tight and will get reviewed. Shouldn't be enough to drop her out of the top 24 or anything.

 

[her grace]

Brandenburg

3f, 2a, she is breathing life into the choreography, falls on a backwards crossover, 3z-3t I’d review lutz for edge and toe for rotation, strong components, fluke fall

 

[Sally1214]

Brandenburg showed what she's made of by completing that combo immediately after a fall, which much of shocked the heck out of her. She's not easily rattled.

And, she gets a SB score. Good for her.

 

[Karen-W]

2.0 in deductions - time violation?

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

So will Brandenburg eventually skating to one of the Brandenburg concertos?

 

[her grace]

Cute bows from Brandenburg in k-n-c

 

[PRlady]

Worst music evah and the leg garter is confusing but she’s quite good.

 

[her grace]

Goidina

3z-3t huge!, 2a, 3f, well-skated and performed with clarity and brightness

 

[Karen-W]

Goidina - solid skate, similar impression as Wang - still rather restrained in her presentation. Guessing she'll slot in between Wang & Tzimpoukakis overall.

ETA - judges surprised me - ahead of Wang & only .2 behind Wada!

Should have orange accents instead of blue.

I so wanted Alexia Paganini to skate to a Paganini violin concerto

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Worst music evah and the leg garter is confusing but she’s quite good.

I guess the garter represents the demon side of Angels and Demons.

 

[floridaice]

Should have orange accents instead of blue.

and she needs orange hair too

 

[Sally1214]

Very good skate by Goidina. Did a good job with the choreography. She drew me in. On the downside, the music was a bit jarring at times, the costume was odd and, of course, those tights over the boots (sigh). But, overall, very well done.

I also thought she was skating similarly to Wang, but Goidina did express more at the end of the program and the PR marks between the skaters tell the tale.

 

[her grace]

Gurgenidze

3f, 2a good, 3z-3t, making good eye contact during steps, neat and tidy

ETA: I thought there was a little wobble after lutz landing (confirmed in replay, but got high GOE for the combo

 

[Karen-W]

Gurgenidze - another really solid skate. I think she's going to wind up just behind Elyce.

ETA - seriously, judges? PCS above Elyce?

 

[Sally1214]

Wonderful skate by Inga. As Ted says, showed a great deal of maturity.

ETA: Big score. Goes into 1st place. I think I agree with that. Good for her.

 

[PRlady]

Boo. Elyce was better, robbed on PCS.

 

[Citlali]

Finally, I have no patients for at least a couple of hours (skating my bank account )

 

[Karen-W]

Gladki - another solid skate - the 3z+3t was rather careful. This dress is just too fussy for her and the blush peach color washes her out. This will go behind Goidina, could also wind up below Wang. We'll see.
