2015 Junior Worlds Men's Short Program March 6

[Dr. Jenn]

Pretty decent skate by Petr - too bad about the fall. He has a much more mature presence on the ice and puts more personality into his performance (although it was fading by the end) than many of the skaters we've seen tonight.

KOTLARIK, Petr CZE

2nd Minnie the moocher of the day ( I hate it with a passion)
3T-3T well done

26.80 prelminar TES

Besides the fall the skating was solid but a bit on the boring side. The generic program didn't help.

[Dr. Jenn]

I don't think I've ever seen Kevin skate before, but that was very impressive! He is a very well-rounded skater, both in terms of his technical skills and performance abilities. I liked the variation on the 'butt spin'.

 

[TMC]

I really enjoyed that! Kevin Shum is definitely a name I'll keep in mind!

Rough skate for Nicky... There is something I like about his skating though - maybe his arms? Something drew me in at the start of the program, but I can't put my finger on it.

That was very sloppy. he was rushing on every element and didn't bother with interpretation.

[CaroLiza_fan]

Isn't it when we reach the end of this group that we start to find out who has qualified for the FS?

Because there are a few that have been on already that I would love to see get through!

*cough* James Min *cough*

[Dr. Jenn]

Team Canada continues to struggle in singles... Hopefully Roman will pick things up!

Nicholas really lost his mojo after that pop. The performance really went downhill after that point. His spins also need a lot of work, especially the illusion.

 

[SamuraiKike]

Good looking kid
3A, nice flow out of it
2Z
Flying Camel
Big 3T-2T
Combo Spin
Messy step sequence
Cof Sit Spin
29.10 preliminar TES

He tried but it didn't look that well trained specially during the steps he seemed like he was forgetting his choreo or maybe he lost focused after the missed jump.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Oh dear... Costumes do not need to be such a literal interpretation of song titles!

As much as i want him to make the free skate, the field is very deep. If he can finish within the top 30, i will be more than happy
