2023 U.S. Nationals Jr. Women's Free Skate

[labgoat]

7 Sarah Everhardt in red dress is well balanced skater with good jumps and spins skating to requiem.

Missed first group. Brought 3 sweaters, Gracie’s sloth, Gracie’s flowers, one medium teddy bear which is going to whoever moves me the most, a bag with 3 diet cokes, a bag of peanuts and some jerky. Please don’t tell me we are growing a cactus garden here

Sadly yes, but there are 7 novices skating Junior so not unexpected.

I wish there were a novice Grand Prix.

8 Sofia Bezkorovainaya - N
Wearing hot pink, black and gray she skates to Edith Piaf. She is very tiny but attacks her jumps and rotates well. Lots of jumps landed, but small. Now music change to New York, New York. She needs to skate juniors, she has all the jumps. Her coach has done well with her.

Pity about the botched first combo but the rest solid for Logan. Hope she gets a competition next year as she has potential and good qualities.

9 Logan Higase-Chen in black dress skates to James Bond music. Missed her toe pick on first jump. Strong jumps and elegant spins. 3Lo and 3F landed. Very well done. Into the lead.

Clean - 1 for Annika. Never seen her before. Lovely soft quality to her skating. Should lead.

I have arrived! I just realized I was sitting in the wrong section yesterday. My actual seats are slightly better, but I’m already missing my neighbors.

And here is Ela. Love the purple dress. All purple dresses are good dresses.

 

[moonvine]

Beautiful skate!

 

[yelyoh]

Ela much better than SP. Again very nice qualities and looks young.

 

[Ross74]

That was nice!

 

[purplecat]

The last three have been really good minus one big mistake. Nice skate Ela!

11 Ela Cui - N Lavender and purple dress. Well rotated first jumps. Quiet elegance. These novice ladies are gorgeous. Ela has excellent presentation and attack on all her moves. She should lead the FS,

 

[Jammers]

Is Ela related to Ting Cui?

 

[purplecat]

Yay Jessi! What a great job for the novice skater!

 

[yelyoh]

And yet another very solid skate. Clean. Another very young skater. The US Jr women are bringing it!!
