Pagiel Yie Ken SNG (Singapore) (13)

what a tiny boy... 

3S2T

2Lz - a bit unsure

2A fall

not bad, but he won't be happy

 

 

wow the announcer couldn't have butchered that name any harder could she 

Taichiro YAMAKUMA (Japan) (17)

3A fall

missed the next jump entry - stepout (turned out to be 3F3T)

2Lz

yeah, just remember Yuzu at 17.... Taichiro looks older, but skates smaller, sorry. 

 

 

GO GO GO ITALY! 

Daniel GRASSL (Italy)

Smile and Chaplin

3A two footed UR

nice spins

3F3T hangs on

3Lz rippon

doesn't look too happy

 

Yuzu is stealing all the 3A mojo from the Japanese juniors in order to power his 4A. 

Egor RUKHIN (Russia) (13)

another tiny boy - Eteri Boy

Michael Jackson

started with a spin

step sequence next - backloading? 

3F3T

3Lz rippon

2A fall

jumps could be higher, but he rotates fast 

lost his final position - clearly exhausted by his programme. 

 

Darian KAPTICH (Australia) (15)

Jazz

3Lz

3T3T twofooted landing

Yuzu's lunge for a second

2A

Nice, but a bit cautious about his upper body movements, I'd say. But well done!

Have to feed the cat or he'll eat me now...
