-1.00 = Falls (1)

Good skate, but her fall in the jump sequence, and the lower base value compared to Ariano Kent/Laliberte Laurent should be the difference from bronze.

Don’t jinx them like that!

[Wyliefan]

Things are getting interesting ...

 

[Colonel Green]

Our ladies appear to have forgotten how to jump this week, alas.

 

[PRlady]

They’re better than the Americans but too many mistakes.

 

[Karen-W]

AKLL - why does their costumes designer hate them and give them mismatching costumes?

Ooof... she nearly sat down on the 2nd of the 2a+2a. And down she foes on the throw 3lo. That won't help their BV, Ted. SBS 3s - down she goes again. And the BV over WilLew continues to evaporate. And a half down on the throw 3s. This should not beat WilLew, to be honest. It's a hot mess of a skate, which isn't all that surprising for them.

 

[Colonel Green]

They have the TES lead, somehow, but with the extra deductions that’s pretty much a wash even if it stands up on review.

 

[her grace]

Could the Italians get a small medal in the FS?

 

[Wyliefan]

So many have just looked off today, I'm starting to wonder if there's a stomach bug going around or something!

Wow, who would have thought that both Canadian teams would crumble like this.

85.59 = 4th Place
141.26 = 3rd Place

 

[Aceon6]

Lesson to all, it’s better to splat on a higher base value element.

 

[Frau Muller]

Radioactive is not the wisest theme.

 

[Colonel Green]

They weren’t the ones who got silver at the Final, Ted.

 

[Karen-W]

Woo-hoo! At least one medal for Team USA!

He’s having a really hard time reading the notes today.

 

[Sylvia]

Wow, Naomi & Lachlan getting a Junior Worlds medal was not in my predictions!

 

[Karen-W]

MetBeru - this program is so much better at the Jr time length than the Sr time length.

It won't matter with a 9pt lead but... she's a hot mess today already. And now he's a hot mess too on the jumps. I really hope FlorWang can skate clean to end this competition on a positive note. Step out from her on the 2nd throw. Their TES isn't going to be much higher than the Italians, lol.

They will be very lucky if they don't give away this title. What the heck is going on?

107.79 = 1st Place
179.32 = 1st Place

 

[Colonel Green]

Oh my.

 

[victorskid]

He’s having a really hard time reading the notes today.

The long hours of being alone at the microphone are telling.

 

[Wyliefan]

If we were doing thread titles here, White Women Can't Jump would have been a good one for this.

 

[rfisher]

I only tuned in to watch the Georgians have the worst skate of their season. Good thing they had a 9 point lead. Pavel beating his head against the wall. They're going to have a lot of reflection if they are going to senior worlds.

 

[Frau Muller]

Georgians…so many errors (as in GP Final)…
Maybe it’s just me but I don’t like his negative brutal energy when he throws her.

 

[Colonel Green]

Well, the door might be slightly open for Flores & Wang, which would be one of the biggest upsets of the year.

 

[Karen-W]

Maybe MetBeru SHOULD stay junior next season, lol.
