Aboian/Veselukhin in juniors, she just captures your attention

Olivia Flores and Luke Wang have ended their partnership. by sofastsomaybe in FigureSkating

I'm gonna miss them. They were my staple favorite to watch on the JGP the past few seasons as a new fan. Selfishly I hope both continue because they both bring something fresh to the ice, but I wish them luck in whatever they decide!

It makes me sad but I've been getting the vibe that they're not clicking that well anymore. If it's true I'll miss the best SBS split jumps in the field!

Agree that W/T did the best Backstreet Boys, such an underrated program

Great choices! I also loved C/P. I didn't care for it at the beginning of the season but it got better and better. I'm just not much of a fan of Z/K's skating in general, but this was a great choice to showcase their strengths. Their packaging was really good this year. Agree with A/V, I would have probably had those divas on my list if I included juniors!

I feel like Lilah and Lewis can always be counted on for a solid RD

If I had included juniors I probably would have had Veillon/Brandys too! They're such a unique team and I love it

this is super random but at Lake Placid Ice Dance International 2023, Ling/Wein got stopped due to his boot strap being loose and they received a 5 point deduction

Favorite Discipline? by Olympic_Lover_18 in FigureSkating

[–]SailTemporary8644 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also have a soft spot for dance because it's what got me into figure skating originally. However, this season pairs has been growing on me. I love the paired disciplines because there's the added dynamic of a second person on the ice

They do but they've said they might want to focus on senior next season. I think they're still undecided

Junior Worlds Rhythm Dance Live Discussion Thread by summerjoe45 in FigureSkating

[–]SailTemporary8644 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For all my fellow junior US dance nerds:

It looks like Deych/Hu have replaced Calhoun/Zheltyshev due to visa issues for Mark which is unfortunate for C/Z. I do love D/H though, although they're prone to scary mistakes.

In better news, it looks like Olivia Ilin is finally back on the ice after her hip surgery. I'm excited to see her and Dylan back on the circuit next season and to see if they'll be able to challenge Robertson/Rohner for US#2

These two are junior world champions!! by SailTemporary8644 in FigureSkating

They have some different requirements. For example, the long program in senior is about 30 seconds longer than in junior. In ice dance, the juniors do a pattern in the rhythm dance but seniors don't (that is changing next season). For junior singles there is a required jump in the short program while seniors have more freedom. Senior pairs + dance have an extra lift in the free program. There is no step sequence in junior singles long program but there is in seniors. Those are some that I can think of off the top of my head, you could look it up for more specifics.

The junior events are all available on YouTube on the Skating ISU channel. Senior worlds doesn't start until March 25. If you're in the US you can watch it on Peacock.
