World Juniors 2025 - Jr Women SP

[floridaice]

Jia can outscore everyone but Shimada in the free, she'll be ok.

 

[Colonel Green]

The movie still hasn’t come out in Japan.

 

[skatfan]

Brilliant!

 

[Citlali]

Mao

 

[PRlady]

I’m actually crying. What a perfect match of song and skater. No words.

 

[her grace]

Shimada

2a, 3f with lovely flow out of it, 3z-3t and she’s all smiles, youthful, joyous choreography, fantastic combo spin, should lead by a bazillion points

 

[Karen-W]

Shimada - wow. Best Jr SP of the season! That final spin is just !

 

[skatfan]

Lutz looked short

 

[Sally1214]

Mao is an absolute JOY to watch! How can you not have a smile on your face when your watching THAT? She just floats aross the ice and her love of this sport radiates to the highest rafter of the bulding. What a FANTASTIC end to the Women's SP.

 

[Jayar]

Ugh. That was so good! She was so sure footed on everything. And loved the attack on the combo!

 

[Colonel Green]

The only thing I don’t like about this program is the stretching out of the musical buildup to the Lutz.

 

[Karen-W]

My only critique of Mao is the blue crystal barrette in her hair that does NOT match her emerald green dress at all, lol.

 

[victorskid]

The final SP standings show that the final cut to get the Q was 53.44 - how does this compare with previous years, I wonder...

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Mao

 

[my little pony]

"I hope they're happy"

he actually approached humor

 

[Sally1214]

Well, the women really brought it. Wonderful competition. And, now I'm off for a long walk in the sunshine before the torrential rain that is forecast for us this afternoon starts.

See you all for the FD.

 

[Wyliefan]

The final SP standings show that the final cut to get the Q was 53.44 - how does this compare with previous years, I wonder...

And Veronika missed by .16! Well, she had a great SP at her first Junior Worlds and she can be very proud of that. If she keeps skating like that, she has a promising future.

 

[skateboy]

Is Shimada old enough for seniors next season? We could be looking at our Olympic champion.

Is there a deduction for hitting the boards?

I'm pretty sure there is, as there should be. I mean, you've got a whole rink...

 

[her grace]

Is Shimada old enough for seniors next season? We could be looking at our Olympic champion.

No

Shin and Nakai are, though.

 

[Karen-W]

Is Shimada old enough for seniors next season? We could be looking at our Olympic champion.

No, she is not.

Jia Shin is old enough for seniors next season.

 

[PRlady]

Is Shimada old enough for seniors next season? We could be looking at our Olympic champion.

No, she’s not 17 until October and misses the July 1 cutoff. Shin will be old enough, though.

 

[Karen-W]

Jia can outscore everyone but Shimada in the free, she'll be ok.

She could in past seasons. There's nothing about her skating this season that makes me think she can outscore Elyce or Ami in the FS; and she may not be able to outscore Inga, Kaoruko or Yihan either. Mind, both Elyce & Ami have had their struggles this season too, but I'd put my money on them staying well ahead of Jia when it's all said and done.

 

[Jammers]

It's ridiculous Mao is ready for Seniors and doing Jr Worlds next year isn't even worth it. They should have made the age limit 16 and not made it 17 which Mao will be at the end of the year which makes it even more irritating for her no doubt to be 17 and yet kept out of the Olympics. This rule really needs to be looked because this girl is not getting anything out of competing at this level anymore especially after she wins a 3rd Jr Worlds.

 

[kwanfan1818]

So rules should be based on one outlier?

 

[Karen-W]

It's ridiculous Mao is ready for Seniors and doing Jr Worlds next year isn't even worth it. They should have made the age limit 16 and not made it 17 which Mao will be at the end of the year which makes it even more irritating for her no doubt to be 17 and yet kept out of the Olympics. This rule really needs to be looked because this girl is not getting anything out of competing at this level anymore especially after she wins a 3rd Jr Worlds.

No, we do not need 16 yr olds competing in seniors. There is too much incentive for certain countries cough*Russia*cough to use whatever methods necessary to delay the onset of female puberty with their jumping beans. Raising the age minimum to 17 makes that it a lot less likely that those methods will be good enough to carry the skater into a successful senior career.

If Mao is as good as we see her to be then she will be around and quite competitive through 2030.

 

[Wyliefan]

Golden Skate says Sophie Joline was too upset to talk to the press after her skate. I hope she felt better after she found out she made the free. https://www.instagram.com/p/DGk8PQzo2QR/?igsh=czRwY2M4ang0em9p

Maybe she and her coaches will grow a clue and aim for a clean 3z+3t, plus improving her skating skills, in the SP next season...

 

[skateboy]

If Mao is as good as we see her to be then she will be around and quite competitive through 2030.

Or not... this reminds me of another Mao who missed the age cut in 2006, and very well could have been the Olympic champion that year.

For me, senior ladies is quite dull at the moment, and I find it wrong that the junior champion is outskating all of the seniors (in my opinion).

 

[kwanfan1818]

von Felten didn't even have the lowest TES of those who qualified: not a huge gap, but Yujae Kim (#40) and Lulu Lin (#36) had lower PCS and 2.5-a little over a 3 point-lead in PCS. They skated groups after von Felten (#17) , which is almost surely a factor, but still, it shows that she definitely has work to do on the PCS side. The only skaters who had lower PCS (within a point) than she among the qualifiers skated quite a bit earlier: Sofiya Titova (#6) and Arina Kalugina (#8). Kalugina's 34.47 TES was 11th overall, just behind #7 Jia Shin's (34.54) and #5 Kaoruko Wada's (34.57).

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

Looking at protocols von Fenton got -3.4 for a q on the 3T. Seems really high. Or were also things about the axel they didn`t like - though it was rotated?
