World Juniors 2025 - Men FS

[Sally1214]

Not a lot of "menning" going on right now. We're starting to get spoiled. Hope the cleanish performances keep coming.

Those "winner's couch" shots are SO darn cute!!

 

[Karen-W]

Wow! Good for Adam! I'm glad he was able to stay ahead of Choi!

 

[tony]

This music is very rapidly closing in on Feelin' Good as the most annoying torture

I know if we’re gonna have to have this again can we have Frangi?

 

[Aceon6]

I do not approve of the baggy pants. When the knees bag, time to get another pair.

 

[Holy Headband]

And we're back to scheduled programming with Nakamura after one great SP. I have no idea how such an inconsistent skater survives at Hamada's rink of death.

Just wait til next year -- consequences of Italian Olympics

 

[Karen-W]

Nakamura - sigh... Is everyone ready for two Io Caro Sio programs in a row? fall on the 4t to open; 3a+2t good; 3z+3t good; 3f skiddy landing up on his toepick; 3a good; 3z+2a+2t okay-ish; 3lo ehhh kind of leaning a bit on the landing but stayed up; this is going to drop below Hagara & Choi - or it should at least.

 

[Wyliefan]

That was a real Mie Hamada jumpscare!

 

[Jammers]

I feel like it's almost unfair for someone like Hagara to still be competing as a Junior skater with his numerous appearances at Europeans and Senior Worlds already.

 

[Aceon6]

I’d like to see a small medal for the highest ranking true junior.

 

[Marta24]

Bocelli back to back?

 

[tony]

I feel like it's almost unfair for someone like Hagara to still be competing as a Junior skater with his numerous appearances at Europeans and Senior Worlds already.

That issue is going to be somewhat closed because of the minimum age for Senior being so close to aging out of Juniors now, but it's happened from the start of time.

Sui & Han were doing it, Metelkina & Berulava here, Kao Miura won 4CC and then went to this event a few seasons ago, Julia Lautowa was top 10 at Worlds in 1997 and still going to Junior Worlds in 2000, etc.

[beckab81]

Oh, it was going so well until the popped lutz

 

[tony]

Hagara with another medal and a chance at the same podium as last season.

Sanchez just doesn't quite do it for me yet. And the dreadful music here doesn't help. Give me music of the future, music of the pasttttttt all day.

 

[Karen-W]

Sanchez - okay, time to be seriously nervous... Never has he needed to deliver a completely clean program now more than ever... 3a+3t great; 3a excellent; 3lo nice; 3f+2t good; pops the 3z and falls out of the 2a seq; 3s good; 3lz clean... But, this isn't going to be enough to stay ahead of Hagara, unfortunately. Dangit. Now, he and the USA need help to get 2 JGP spots at all 7 JGPs next season.

 

[Citlali]

Jacob

 

[PRlady]

I yelled no so loudly I scared the cat, my husband and probably my neighbors.

 

[Aceon6]

US junior men don’t seem to be as prone to menning. One mistake doesn’t kill the performance. May is stay that way.

But that one mistake just kept him off the podium.

 

[Karen-W]

But that one mistake just kept him off the podium.

Well, it's kept him off the podium for now. Nakata & Seo are both capable of blowing it.

 

[Aceon6]

But that one mistake just kept him off the podium.

He’s a kid. Results will come if he keeps at it.

 

[PRlady]

That was like Alysa’s damn double sal last week. One damn mistake!

 

[Sarah]

I will say, Jacob has gotten much stronger in the free. Even with a mistake here, it’s better than in past years.

 

[floridaice]

Ouch!

 

[tony]

Rio is intense and determined like no other junior I've seen in quite some time. He's always commenting on needing to skate perfectly and how disappointed he is with the smallest of issues. Since he started with one, let's see..

I think he's going to jump right into senior at the big levels just as Kagiyama was able to do.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

That was like Alysa’s damn double sal last week. One groin mistake!

I feel like a "groin mistake" could be taken multiple ways.

 

[Holy Headband]

Some of these passes should not be getting positive GOEs... Anyway.

 

[tony]

Lutz landing sketchy, three-jump sequence you could see he wanted another 2A but didn't do it (ETA never mind he had an Euler sequence). First 4T probably wasn't rotated, so definitely kept the door open more than usual.
