There's unconfirmed rumor in RuNet that Sotskova is injuried and Medvedeva is going instead. No official info on it though.

Oh no! If that's true, we won't get to see her Winter short program!    I guess we'll find out soon.

I'm cheering for Radionova and Sakhanovich....

Yes, Sotskova is officially out, replaced by Medvedeva: http://www.isuresults.com/events/cat00028064.htm

Martinez withdrew due to injury:

Thank you for the information. Too bad about injury and withdrawals ...
Yey I will be rooting for Russian girls!    I fell in love with Serafima Sakhanovich and Alexandra Proklova at JGPF. So I'm a little bit sad that Alexandra will not be there.    But, I'm looking forward to seeing Elena.   

Thanx for the infos, let's talk and Abdiel. I'm hoping for Elena's win, and for Nathan Chen doing really well.   Will there be any streaming available? I guess ISU can't stream it on their youtube page (like they did WTT and Nebelhorn) since someone (probably Russia) has surely bought the broadcasting rights.  

ISU is very kindly streaming junior worlds here:

Thank you Cinquanta.

Nathan Chen's SP. Shame about the fall in the opening 3A. He telegraphs into it,and when he pulled into the air position, it looked off to me. Step sequence, spins, basics and the polish were very good for a junior.

There may be a Russian sweep in the Ladies' singles event. But wow, the freeskate will be exciting. The top 4 are separated by narrow margins!


1 Elena RADIONOVA        RUS 66.90
2 Serafima SAKHANOVICH RUS 64.75
3 Evgenia MEDVEDEVA RUS 63.72
4 Satoko MIYAHARA        JPN  63.57
5 Amber GLENN                USA 56.58
6 Karen CHEN                USA 56.09
7 Alaine CHARTRAND        CAN 54.68
8 Jenni SAARINEN        FIN  53.76
9 Da Bin CHOI                KOR 53.69
10 Tyler PIERCE                USA 51.84

The men's singles is even more exciting. The leading and top 13 skaters are separated by 10 points. Any of them could be on the podium depending on the freeskate. I am honestly curious on how MCM would have done had he been injury free. Also, 2013 bronze medalist Shotaro Omori of the US did not qualify for the freeskate.


1 Nam NGUYEN        CAN 72.87
2 Boyang JIN        CHN 71.51
3 Shoma UNO        JPN  70.67
4 Keiji TANAKA        JPN  70.57
5 Alexander PETROV RUS 69.72
6 Nathan CHEN        USA 69.65
7 Adian PITKEEV        RUS 68.76
8 He ZHANG        CHN 67.72
9 Jordan MOELLER USA 66.38
10 Petr COUFAL        CZE 63.92

The freeskate tomorrow will be very interesting    

Wow congrats to Brian Orser!   This season his skaters became European champion (Fernandez), Olympic champion (Hanyu) and Jr. world champion (Nguyen).   And it's very possible that he'll add two more medals at WC in two weeks. It's Yuzu's competition to lose, and Javi is in a good position to win a medal as well.

I'm watching ladies right now, the sound is horrible, either very quiet or so loud that even when you have a sound installed to it's minimum the music can still be heard through half of the house.   I hope ISU will fix it soon.

I'm sorry I'm responding so late, I haven't seen your message.   COHK has already replied, it's the only stream available as far as I know, though like I said, the sound is really annoying today. 

Here's the starting order/time schedule:

Satoko is skating last, I hope she'll medal. Last night all of her jumps were rattyfied,   which is great news, so hopefully the same will happen today. Go Satoko!

haha it's alright heh I only just wrote a few minutes ago, by the way I found jenny from finland very elegant but she was technically very weak, if she could get those jumps more stable she could become very competitive

I think she'll get there she just turned 15 so she has time. She probably won't be in the same league as the russian geniouses, but she could become another Korpi or Lepisto.

I do wonder though what's in the finnish water, every finnish skater is drop dead gorgeous.

i agree, they are very pretty heh, but for me what is most noticeable with jenny is her carriage and elegance, it's good to see an upcoming Finnish skater, since the current ones are gone due to injury

Da bin choi is the first south korean skater I have seen whose skating doesn't resemble kim

YES! I really, really like her. Hopefully she'll survive puberty and have a great career ahead of her. She's really cute.

well to me her skating is not that catchy or memorable, but this is also only the first time i have seen her, maybe that will change with time, but she unlike the finnish one seems to hav the technical goods but artistically could improve alot

Elena really a joy to watch, the music really fits her well

Well, she only turned 14 two months ago, so she's practically still a "baby".   I say give her time and I'm sure she can and will improve. But her TES is really great for someone so young.

And gosh Lena...     simply amazing. She's such a star.
