Junior Pairs SP & FS

[her grace]

Who knew junior pairs would be such a feel-good event?

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

really loving McDonald and Felberbaum, although I always find it not that appropriate when Junior skaters skates to “love story.” I love his arms, I am looking forward to watching them develop. We got to see Chris, that’s always a bonus.

They have so much air and height on the twist and throws that I think it should be easy to convert at least the twist and one throw to triples by next summer.

Being with Chris is a huge advantage as she can experience the bigger elements without worrying about safety. Same with the SCoB teams being helped by Simon.

So Ben is here now! Yay!

I like the height on this purple team's throws (even if it's only a double).

 

[Matryeshka]

Ooo, I'm ready for some lavender.

So question: did they get the sound fixed, or did they send someone to find Gracie and Ben in the bar? Cause if I had to watch and comment and be nice for junior pairs, I would not want to do it sober.

Lotta pieces of music in whatever this is… ahhh - Gatsby.

 

[floridaice]

This is quite the mash up of music for Sophia & Luke

 

[Aceon6]

The music cuts want me to dump them. They’re a nice pair, are probably nice people, but geez!

Decent from the Jarmoc/Witkowski!

 

[Karen-W]

Jarmoc/Witkowski - 2tw - nice; SBS 2a+a - messy; throw 2s - okay; oh, this is a Great Gatsby program; nice lift; SBS 3s - very nice; oh, commentary is back! Good FIDS; another beautiful lift; throw 2f - bit pitched forward on the landing but decent; why are they doing a slow pairs spin to "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody" with it's upbeat tempo? Nice.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Peacock is way slow for me, their score is already up

Jarmoc/Witkowski

Feel like they were rushing at the beginning, but seemed to settle down one she hit the throw 2s, SBS 3s

Felt like the previous team had more presence and connection to each other; this team had harder SBS (but J/W lost the sequence, unfortunately)

They always broadcast live events on a delay

You never know when Tara Lipinski is going to drop an F bomb

Lol

I love Carpenter/Maravilla, they have such a nice smoothness & use of arms. I need them to get a good twist & I'll absolutely uber them.

I can’t remember did they have junior Grand Prix events?

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I’m looking forward to Moss and galbavy

 

[Karen-W]

Carpenter/Maravilla - millennial pale violet with silver floral accents for her; 2tw - low; SBS 3s+1a+1a - wow! Sort of slow on the first lift; throw 3s - fall SBS 2a - solid; nice FIDS; throw 2lo - good; last lift excellent; her extension in the choreo seq wonderful; pairs spin - TES tracker showing no value because of the miss on the first position. I fear they're going to fall behind Jarmoc/Witkowski.

ETA - behind them in the FS, but just eeked ahead of them by 1.08 overall!

 

[Karen-W]

I can’t remember did they have junior Grand Prix events?

Yes, they had two.

Carpenter/Maravilla

Small 2tw, nice 3s-1a-1a sequence, down on throw 3s, they are letting the program breathe and their basics are strong, throw 2r, Agosto pointing out some difficulty in pair spin, good skate overall

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Wow, McDonald and Felberbaum still have the best free score

USFS needs to get Jarmoc/Witkowski out to a spring international

 

[my little pony]

Saint Yuka is so serene for an ageless vampire

 

[beckab81]

Ooof, this is not going well for Flores/Wang

 

[Rukia]

well that was rough

 

[Karen-W]

FlorWang - I think these are another new set of costumes - TLK. 3tw - huge; SBS 3s+2a - she fell on the 2a; SBS 3t - and she fell, nearly slid into Luke; okay on the lift; throw 2lo - and she falls... Wow, this is a disaster program; another BODS with no value on the TES tracker... Is Olivia sick? great last lift; throw 3s - she stays up; choreo seq would have more impact with a clean program.

 

[my little pony]

Luke is a flower! that high kick was a moment

 

[Spikefan]

Seeing him live, Luke Wang is one of my favorite pairs men in a long time.

I'm not sure if any of the remaining spring internationals have Jr pairs. They can go home & start preparing & training for next season and a JGP debut.

 

[Rukia]

I think they lost the death spiral again oof
