The men's junior SP is scheduled for between 12:15 and 2:10 this afternoon. Ice resurfacing is set for 12:15, so the skating probably won't start right on the dot.

Just salchow and I've worked on the others, but it's not a rush to learn jumps now. only my first year junior, so I want to learn how to compete the double axel and sal now.

Good luck, mnm464!!

Thanks for posting such a detailed report, TrishaG! Elizabet's program sounds lovely. I'm not surprised people thought she was 12 or 13 - she looks absolutely tiny to me on video, so I can only imagine it in person.

FYI: Juniors Group A will take the ice for the Freeskate in 1hr. 2:30PM EST

Good luck, mnm464!!

I just wanted to say that if anyone is watching try to pay attention to Demetra Koris's FS if you get a chance - I did not know she would be here. She was a highlight for me at the Broadmoor Open a little while ago. She made attending the first group worth it for me so hopefully others may enjoy her. I was really impressed with how elegant she looked and her extensions/lines even though she was wearing sorta a Three Musketeers outfit that often is not the most flattering for those aspects - but she overcame it and looked great! I tried to get a pic of her, but it was just not working.

Anyway I thought I would toss it out if anyone wanted a bit of a hidden gem to keep an eye on.

Yoohoo? Anyone here?

Did I miss mnm? I'm watching a Titanic program now. Does the stream keep jerking for anyone else?

That was a nicely timed jump by Syndy. When she first came out, her costume reminded me of Madonna in the Material Girl music video and I got all excited. But this is a cute program, too, and she's skating well.

That were some animated gesturing going on at the judges table. I wish it was miked.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

I thought Margerie(sp) had nice jumps and good choreo :thumbsup: The music was a bit dramatic but she made it work.

Only other one I saw was Rebecca (purple dress) first one from the second group. Some two foot sloppy jumps at first but a nice presentation and as the program went she became much much better. :thumbsup:

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Is Haley Wint (sp?) really skating in glasses! Brave girl. Her costume is GORGEOUS ON HER. I like this music. I like her skating to this music. OH NO FALL!

All in all, I'm a fan. She looked disappointed at the end, but I quite enjoyed it. Good on you, Haley.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Oooh, Sasha Cohen's dress

....and Sasha Cohen's jumps....and Yuna's layback.

It got much better in the second half. The music picked up and so did her energy.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I am loving this Three Musketeers program. I am not loving this stream.

YEESSSSSS FOOTWORK FENCING! She would be a great show skater.

Her name is Demetra Koris and she really surprised me when I got to see her at the Broadmoor Open, glad someone else enjoyed her.

I did! It's not just that her program is unique, it's that she had the charisma to pull it off. Shame about the jumps, but that's my least favorite part of skating anyway.
