World Juniors 2025 - Pairs FS

[Former Lurve Goddess]

It's something like 2:10!

The Beatles have a few song quite a bit shorter than that.

Naomi & Lachlan and Olivia & Luke all seem a little under trained than earlier in the season. Injuries/illness or just burnout?

 

[Karen-W]

FlorWang - can they have one decent FS this season? 3tw - over his shoulder & crashy; SBS 2a+1a+2a - bit off more than they could chew with Luke putting both hands on the ice on the 2nd 2a; SBS 3s - very nice; first lift - eh, bit slow; throw 3lo - she had a fast step out on the landing; BIDS - nice; combo spin - decent, nice exit; second lift - okay; throw 3s - okay; choreo seq - well, it was nice, but ended behind the music.

Definitely not the best skate they've ever had, but not the worst thing for them to end their season with.

 

[her grace]

a whole lot of scrambling going on. Not their best today

 

[Kateri]

That last section shows why so many people love this team.

 

[Sally1214]

Flores/Wang: Loved the music and their costumes. She did a great job on saving the last throw and perfect unison on the split jumps in the choreo at the end. Like this pair a lot.

FlorWang definitely had an injury during the late summer that hampered them on the JGP. I think WilLew also were dealing with an injury in the fall. This wasn't really much of a difference for FlorWang from the rest of the season. WilLew peaked at Nats, but this was more along the lines of what they'd delivered during the fall, IMO.

Depends on what SUI and FRA does, but IIRC countries have to place top 5 nations to get three spots per JGP in pairs. U.S. may drop down to 2 spots in each.

 

[Wyliefan]

Well, this isn't creepy or anything.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Yay, French voidiness!

top 4 actually - and yes, I expect the US to drop to 2 spots per JGP.

 

[Amy L]

They're just being French!

 

[Sally1214]

I think it's kinda cool .... in a creepy, haunting kind of way.

 

[floridaice]

Yay, French voidiness!

It's about time!

 

[Karen-W]

TeleCoul - I love this FS - so much character. 2tw - good; throw 3f - very nice; SBS 2a eh, done; first lift - decent; choreo seq - another program highlight; throw 3s - nice; BODS good enough; second lift - good; SBS 2f+1a+1a nice; combo spin - nice. This will likely keep them ahead of FlorWang - and fairly, IMO.

 

[Marta24]

This Baby French team needs to get triples. Or I will forever be heartbroken.

 

[Sally1214]

Liked Romane and Lucas' program a LOT. Gosh, most couples are having a devil of a time getting a decent level on the BODS today.

 

[Amy L]

Romane is a voidy princess!

However, I will not get invested in a 14 year old!

I will not become an uberfan of a junior team. I will not become a uberfan of a junior team. Sigh, maybe I will

[JoannaLouise]

I loved their in-character bow at the end!

There are too many of us who have long memories and remember how much we loved Panfilova/Rylov.

 

[Amy L]

I already uber some baby Frenchies in dance, I can't add baby Frenchies in pairs.

 

[Karen-W]

Wow. I'm surprised they dropped behind FlorWang. Wasn't expecting that at all!

ETA - looks like their TES dropped a good 5 points on review.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Who was she previously partnered with? Wow look at that twist.

 

[tony]

Bouvart just did one of the best 2A+2A sequences I've ever seen. He actually snaps into the jump, and quite beautifully too.

Please just click on their names in the wedgie.

 

[Karen-W]

VouBou - 3tw good; SBS 3t - he fell; SBS 2a+2a nice; I see her dress is remnants of Lukas Britschgi's African FS costume from last season... first lift - excellent; throw 3s - okay; FIDS nice; combo spin - alright; choreo seq alright; second lift really nice; throw 3lo huge. Another nice program. I expected TeleCoul to go ahead of FlorWang and I was wrong, so forgive me from making any predictions about whether or not VouBou will do so either.

 

[Aceon6]

For a big guy, he gets quite good elevation. Shame about the first pass.

 

[her grace]

Great skate from the Swiss team!
