Mia Shimada has such small jumps but she seems to get them still done. Not crazy about the program.

We`re in a new world where we don`t know exactly how to manage young superior skaters. If I was Shimada`s federation I`d be tempted to reduce her competitions the next two seasons. She could be Olympic champion but injuries from so much competing could put that in a kibosh.Shimada - The state of greatness in today’s female figure skating.Everything lovely!
I don’t think she needs to compete less (as a junior she already has fewer). The continued use of the quad, on the other hand, makes zero sense to me when she should be focused on making it to 2030.We`re in a new world where we don`t know exactly how to manage young superior skaters.

The thing about Sherry is that even when she makes mistakes, she still scores relatively well. She’s had a good season and I hope she can build on this next year.For all the complaining, Sherry finished 7th in a tough field at her first JW. And yes Everhardt would have done better than Lee, plausibly, but we keep the two spots which is right given how much good competition there is.
Will Japan ever be the opposite?Will the U.S. ever be as good in Men's and Women's as it is in Pairs and Ice Dancing?
Sherry’s jumps (when she lands them) are of an amazing quality. She is one of the few skaters out there that lands the jump with more speed then she enters it with, and the glide coming out is very nice as well. She also has very good spins. Now she needs consistency (especially in the short program).The thing about Sherry is that even when she makes mistakes, she still scores relatively well.

Yes, I really appreciate Sherry's speed & attack - she had the 6th highest PCS today (highest aside from the medalists & 2 others in the final group).Sherry’s jumps (when she lands them) are of an amazing quality.

The gap just isn't enough, she really deserved much more of a gap vs Mao.Nice to see the judges rewarding her with the highest PCS of the night.
Awwww…Sherry on a roll until falls on flip & salchow.
Everhardt anywhere around?

I don't recall this ever happening before? The point of the JGP is to give young skaters from as many different countries as possible, esp. the smaller ones, the chance to compete.Was there a time where a country could earn three spots for a junior Grand Prix event if it was not a hosted event?
What do you mean by "trajectory"? In any case, had she placed top 10 in her first Junior Worlds that wouldn't have changed the number of spots for next season's JGP & Junior Worlds.I see everhardt, placing in the top 10 in this field, with how she had been on her trajectory all season.
this happened when spots were transferred from one JGP to anotherETA:

Kind of a shame that Jia came closest to winning on her first silver when her skating has improved so much in the last two years, but Mao is undeniable technically. I still dispute that Isabeau had very generous calling when she won.
