Luka's lifts are still scary
Yes.Well, that's assuming the ISU doesn't raise the age max for junior men at the Congress next June.
They're not going to win Senior Worlds. They might podium, but hopefully we'll have Miura/Kihara and maybe Chan/Howe back by Montreal.Anastasiia Metelkina (18)/Luka Berulava (20)
Coach: P. Sliusarenko, E. Zakroev, M. Trankov
Music: The Millionaire Waltz by Queen
3Tw 4
3S+2A+2T+SEQ
Throw 3F
3T
Reverse Lasso Lift 4
Back Outside Death Sp 3
Choreo Sequence
Throw 3Lo
Hand/Hip Lift 4
Pair Combo Spin 4
Has anyone ever won Junior Worlds, and Senior Worlds in the same season? This program is so much better than the short, and they really make use of the wonderful piece of music from Queen.

I feel like I should bookmark this post for later in the season. Miura/Kihara are a question mark with their injury issue, but Metelkina/Berulava would easily beat Chan/Howe with a skate like that at a senior event.They're not going to win Senior Worlds. They might podium, but hopefully we'll have Miura/Kihara and maybe Chan/Howe back by Montreal.
We're gonna have to agree to disagree. Chan/Howe are far from perfect, but their PCS and their lifts are far superior to Metelkina/Berulava. Not to mention, Luka has let a senior Worlds medal slip through his very easy grasp before...I feel like I should bookmark this post for later in the season.

There's a step sequence in the senior FS that is missing for juniors. Theoretically, yes, it's possible that they could skate clean and score in the 210 range, but I also think that they aren't feeling any pressure skating juniors right now because they don't have any competition for the top spot. Let's see what they do at Euros before we start declaring them contenders for the Senior Worlds title, okay?What if I don't want to agree to disagree. Huh?
Metelkina/Berulava put up a score at this event that is higher than Chan/Howe's personal best with fewer elements to complete. But actually when I posted that they might win Senior Worlds I was forgetting their were teams who weren't competing here that might be competitive.
Well if you're going to be all boring and logical, than yes, but it's more fun to make proclamations now, and forget about them later.There's a step sequence in the senior FS that is missing for juniors.

Really? Ava will be 17 in June 2025, when Yohnatan is 21, so aren't they senior eligible for 25/26? (her birthday is June 24, 2008 while he was born December 2003)Their problem will come after next season where they will have a year where they will be unable to compete internationally.
Yes, but he'll age out of juniors - pairs/ice dance men can be no older than 20 by July 1. He has one more season of junior eligibility unless the rules are changed.Really?

That's what I meant - she should become senior eligible just in time for the following season, unless I can't count.Yes, but he'll age out of juniors - pairs/ice dance men can be no older than 20 by July 1. He has one more season of junior eligibility unless the rules are changed.
No I think I might be miscounting - it's so hard to keep track of eligibility with it coming mid year.That's what I meant - she should become senior eligible just in time for the following season, unless I can't count.
After seeing their score was so close to the senior pairs I also came here to ask if anyone has ever won junior and senior worlds in the same year They were also restricted to doing a 2a in the short so more possible points there as well as one less element in the free.Well if you're going to be all boring and logical, then yes, but it's more fun to make proclamations now, and forget about them later.
I feel that the ISU should be pressured to make a few more rules. ie Russians can skate for other countries but cannot train in Russia. If their coaches only work in Russia they should have to change coaches. This would be helpful to avoid doping the skaters and turning the girls into robot sticks. It would also mean they would have wider news input and maybe stop thinking Putin is trying his best to help Ukraine with climate change.I'm sure they both have Russian passports
