At last an event without eyebrows-raising judging and calling - where viewers don't have to feel an itch to see the protocols as soon as the event ended :agree: As it always should be :yes:
Sinitsina was the only skater worthy of viewing for me there, tbh. Godlike SS, she is like quicksilver on ice! Probably she is the only one lady skater in a whole JGP who is doing jumps as they should be done - from running edge to running edge. Even for that only reason she is deserving as many PCS/GOEs as they can give to her and more. That's the real figure skating

Loved it that Grassl won, though equally bummed that Danielyan did not make it. By some inconceivable reason, I don’t like Gummenyk, but hey, the kid works hard, that’s completely obvious, and he is in the final. I loved how Smuratko skates, but the music was strongly not my cup of tea.
Sinitzina, yeah. There is nothing Junior about that lady. She was put together last year in the JW, she is a force of nature here. My heart bled for Frolova on principle, b/c she lost her spot in the finals so narrowly, but she seemed to be happy with the silver, so I think it was sweet I tuned in about half-way through, and did not mind music/skating in the last couple of flights. The Italians were fun... and, yup, Ruiter is a happy joy to watch.
