[Wyliefan]

I can't believe I have to sleep through most of this. But if I don't I'll be fit for nothing at work tomorrow.

 

[Allen]

I'm going to try to watch as much as I can. I don't have to do anything tomorrow, so we'll see how long I can make it.

 

[victorskid]

The ISU stream is live and the trumpets have blown

 

[Barbara Manatee]

I thought I had the time wrong when I saw the stands.

 

[Amy L]

My kitty has a vet appointment at noon (she has been over grooming/losing fur, any advice?) so I can't stay up crazy late but I think I can make it through most of the RD.

 

[Allen]

Yikes, there seems to be almost no local attendance

 

[Wyliefan]

I think Cat Tibau had a growth spurt.

 

[Vagabond]

Yikes, there seems to be almost no local attendance

There never is much of a crowd when there is an ISU Championship in Taipei.

 

[her grace]

Jolan Engel is a dead ringer for young Jason Brown.

 

[Karen-W]

I got around 2.5 hours of sleep after work so I'm here now and somewhat fresh. I hope I can make it to the end.

 

[Barbara Manatee]

Points to Estonia for throwing in a little neon with the black.

 

[Barbara Manatee]

Ouch, he ran into the boards.

 

[Karen-W]

Points to Estonia for throwing in a little neon with the black.

And for the loose crop top that falls off one shoulder for her.

 

[Barbara Manatee]

They looked relaxed. Happy with a SB.

 

[Wyliefan]

Matching ponytails! Their hair is even the same color, or pretty close.

 

[Wyliefan]

5 Ys is pretty good for the first group at junior worlds!

 

[Vagabond]

The Spaniards need to synchronize their ponytails better.

Ksenia Sipunova (15), Miron Korjagin (17)
Coach: Lea Rand, Taavi Rand
Music: I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me) by Whiney Houston; Steel Claw by Tina Turner

Junior Eligible Next Season: Yes
Senior Eligible Next Season: No

 

[Barbara Manatee]

Spain had some nice edges.

All the junior teams appear to think that finger pointing = 80s job done.

 

[skatingguy]

Ksenia Siuova/Miron Korjagin
Coach: Lea Rand, Taavi Rand
Music: I Wanna Dance with Somebody, Steel Claw

Straight Line Lift 4
Rocker Foxtrot - 2nd Section B + kpNNNN
Rocker Foxtrot - 1st Section B + kpNNNN
Sequential Twizzles W:4 M:4
Midline Step Sequence W:1 M:1 - Miron fell into the boards at the end of the sequence

-1.00 = Falls (1)

34.58 = 1st Place

Even before the fall this was a pretty rough skate, but that was an unfortunate way to end the program.

 

[skatingguy]

Sarah Marcilly Vazquez (14), Jolan Engel (15)
Coach: Antoine Charrier, Julia Lambert, Stefano Caruso
Music: Father Figure by George Michael; Faith by George Michael

[skatingguy]

Sarah Marcilly Vazquez/Jolan Engel
Coach: A. Charrier, J. Lambert, S. Caruso
Music: Father Figure, Faith by Geroge Michael

Straight Line Lift 4 (3 after review)
Sequential Twizzles W:3 (1 after review) M:3 (4 after review)
Rocker Foxtrot - 1st Section 4 + kpYYYY (3 + kpYYNY after review)
Rocker Foxtrot - 2nd Section 1 + kpNNNY
Midline Step Sequence W:1 M:2

42.81 = 1st Place

Lots of work to do in the future, but a nice skate, and I wonder if the level 4 on the Rocker Foxtrot will hold, and how long before another team achieves those four yeses.

 

[skatingguy]

Lauren Audrey Batkova (17), Jacob Yang (18)

We have a crimped ponytail!

That was rough - not a single green blob.
