2019 World Junior Championships Ladies Free Skate

[Skater Boy]

it is interesting that the three medallists weren't really the top skaters from their country. Russia's best was injured and the American was too young. The top two were amazing. And Ting what a future. Japan will dominate senior worlds. Korea almost came backand got three spots. And Canada really got lucky a bit and made the top ten. So many top ten sp ladies faltered badly to allow that. Good work for Ting to keep it together. Fortunately for her the Japanese ladies and the Russian sub didn't skate too well in the fs or she may have been bumped. Now will these Russian ladies survive puberty?

Poor Yuhana, she is very good skater but that short program is her nemesis.

 

[b-man]

Trusova is just playing a different sport from everyone else.

They were ringing her scores up like Hanyu!!!

 

[frida80]

Both Japan and Korea missed three spots by one placement, didn't they?

Yeah... a lot of bad luck contributed to this. I feel bad for them. Especially Young and Yuhana who fought as hard as they could. I feel even mor irritated that Yuna's placement on the JW team may cause a tradition of giving senior ladies JW spots. Not fair.

Also if Yelim was here, she would've been super competitive. Just saying.

Kostornaia is my favorite of the bunch but I wouldn’t say that she alone is Russia’s best. She won the JGPF, sure, but Trusova won Junior Nats and Scherbakova took the senior title. They’re evenly matched and victory stems from who skates best on the day. Seems silly to sell Anna and Sasha short considering what they’ve accomplished. But nothing new for GS I suppose.

In fact Satoko Miyahara already took part in JWC while she was a senior

I think Trusova's amazing technical advantage outweighed any superior artistry Scherbakova has in this particular competition. I actually prefer Anna S's skating a lot more, and her short program is lovely (one that I often rewatch) but her FS is just kind of stuffy and overwrought to me. Either way, the competition between the two girls is very close. I am most upset about Yuna not getting higher placement here. I think she deserved bronze over Ting Cui.

But Yuna was clearly the best of them? And had she got the PCS she deserves, the end result could have been a lot different. She's junior eligible, so she can skate. I don't think it's unfair. Who else would Japan have sent? Just out of curiosity.

I'm just sad because Japan and Korea have so many talented ladies at the moment, they really deserve three spots.

Yelim had boot problems recently. And wasn't she injured at 4CC or something? I think Haein deserved to be here, too. And if not for that popped axel in the SP, the story would again have looked different. I think it was mostly bad luck that resulted in them losing the spots. Yuna, Yuhana, Haein and Young all fought and showed their absolute best in the FS. But alas, it wasn't enough.

But who will the best junior girl next season?
Most of them are inconsistent

 

[WeakAnkles]

Sour grapes

History. Sorry but I agree with her.

 

[hippomoomin]

I don't think Alena K. is a clear "best" among Russian juniors. The order of the 3As can be any combination depending on who delivers and also the judging.

[Alegria]

So once again I must to believe, that Anna's and Sasha's spins were the best today. It's not like they were bad, but not that better than spins of many other girls. It's so good to be top girl from powerful federation.

 

[Sabrina]

I felt sorry for Anna, as after she finished her program she kind of said, "I did all what I could"...I don't speak Russian, it was just her expression.

 

[Elaine]

I really, really liked Sasha's LP at the begining of the season, but for some reason, it has lost its spark as the season progressed. It's weird because it's usually the opposite way. A lot of programs I don't particularly find good at first sight usually grow on me, but this...

Anyway I just love Sasha's 4T.

 

[BillNeal]

She just broke the junior world record today

Ya but she got a UR on her 4Lz + fall, a turnout on her +3Lo and an unclear edge on her 3F. She has become less consistent.

Who knows what will happen to her consistency when she turns senior?

Are you delusional? Shiraiwa was 5.5 points behind Cui after the short program. You do remember there are two programs, right? Then go look at the free skate protocols which are now posted. They reflect the reality of what I saw in real-time as far as underrotations and edge calls on the TES side. As far as the PCS goes, I think Cui did slightly better with her program than Shiraiwa with hers, and that's pretty much reflected in the very close protocols on components as well.

 

[frida80]

Really sad that Japan and Korea only have two spots for next year, but I’m really happy Canada also has 2!

Good for Allison! I’m sure people are still smarting about men’s yesterday, but today was really good day for Canada. Two spots for ladies and the first JW good in dance since V/M!!!

 

[Ichatdelune]

Young's ! on her flip returned here, she didn't get it for a while so I thought maybe it was fixed, apparently not... oh and Haein also got one but Haein's flip edge is her biggest issue

Reality in PCS? What about that huh?

Now, I'm not sure if Yuna's advantage in PCS can overcome the tech difference, but it sure as heck should have been an advantage in Yuna's favour, not Ting scoring a full two point higher.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Flip edges caused lots of ladies grief today.
