Junior Pairs - SP & FS

[Sarah]

If Zheng/Deng can replicate that performance next week and slightly improve their SP, they should be able to get the Jr Worlds TES mins.

Where are they competing?

 

[Aceon6]

And now, the hardest working guy this week. Jon Ma-ra-vee-ya. Not Maraviliar!

 

[Karen-W]

Where are they competing?

They (and Park/Griffin) have been assigned to Bavarian Open. It's a shame the USFS didn't also assign Carpenter/Maravilla.

 

[PRlady]

Yeesh awkward lift.

 

[MacMadame]

He's a good partner. He made sure she was ready for the 2nd jump instead of just doing the combo as if she hadn't had an issue.

 

[Karen-W]

Carpenter/Maravilla - that was one rough entrance to the DS. I'm intrigued by this team. They have good potential and should get at least 1 JGP assignment next season, I think.

Agree. He’s sooooo good. She doesn‘t perform as well as he does, though.

I was just going to comment on that. The rest of the sequence was REALLY nice because of that.

 

[MacMadame]

So impressed with Maravilla. And they actually interacted on ice more than some elite international teams!

 

[Sarah]

Carpenter/Maravilla - They have potential. He's very good. She could be good, but she's younger (or skates younger). Some messiness, but overall, it was good or intriguing. I liked them!

Hi Yuka! Hi Steve!

 

[PRlady]

Omg twist landing.

 

[MacMadame]

Now that's something you don't see every day. (twist)

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

I was so worried Jakub wouldn't catch her on that twist.

 

[Karen-W]

Moss/Galbavy - love these costumes! Wouldn't have expected emo "California Dreamin'" but there we have it, lol. Gorgeous SBS 2A+2A+1A sequence! I'm in trouble... I'm already ubering this team and this is only their 3rd competition, lol. Aw, down on the 2nd throw.

Can't wait for him to have his release and for them to get some JGP assignments next season!

 

[PRlady]

Nice unison on this team, anyway. And one of the few covers I like as much as the original.

Where’s he from?

 

[Sarah]

They had a less bad but similar version in the short. The need to fix that, because they can jump (as she just misses they throw).

 

[Karen-W]

I missed the twist - gonna have to watch the replay later.

 

[MacMadame]

Cowbell sighting!

 

[Aceon6]

MossGal. Disaster on the twist. Scary lifts. They could be skating to anything. I‘d rank them behind CarMar. But their outfits are nice, so there’s that.

ME TOO. Help me. The twist issues aside, they unison, jumps, and a decent amount of speed and power...

You should be able to rewind to it while we wait for the scores.

 

[Karen-W]

Sounds like it was similar to what happened in the SP - so, not very good at all. They need to address that and get it fixed before next September.

And you were correct in where they wound up placing!

 

[MacMadame]

Where’s he from?

His bio says Minnesota.

 

[PRlady]

Googled him. Slovakia?!

 

[MacMadame]

Miss Saigon. A bit of a cliche, no?

Pretty much. Just worse and he splatted.

Slovakia, IIRC. He'll have his release this spring.

 

[Aceon6]

WilLew. She is STOKED! I guess the foot feels fine. Great job.

 

[Karen-W]

Williams/Lewer - getting their competition legs back under them and skating much stronger today compared to yesterday. They both look so thrilled with this skate!
