Thoughts on Courchevel 1
The first JGP event was a hot mess, as usual. Especially the junior men. The women actually did pretty well, for the most part. Ahsun Yun and Seoyeon Ji both won the costume competition. They were both so well-dressed. I really liked Ahsun’s FS to The Mummy. It was a good but unique choice, and she had a fantastic skate after a rough short. Kaiya Ruiter surprised me. She’s quite juniorish, but in a good way. She’s a solid performer and held up really well under pressure, so hopefully she can lead Canadian women’s skating over the next few years. Clare Seo and Lindsay Thorngren are so different: Clare’s very artistic with solid skating skills, while Linday’s more technically minded. But they both did really well here. Clare got nailed with a few URs, and Lindsay really delivered with her jumps to get the gold medal. But they’re both really talented and I’m excited to see where they go. 
The men were... pretty much a disaster, as I feared. The last two skates in the free were particularly rough. It’s probably because Courchevel is like a zillion miles above sea level and everyone was exhausted. Ilia Malinin had a fantastic short (although that cover of Billie Jean needs to die) and a spectacular morning practice, landing 4 different types of quads. His free was not nearly as solid: a fall on a quad sal, a popped quad toe, and a popped triple loop off of a triple lutz. He looked so tired. Corey Circelli started off well in the short, but his free skate was hard to watch. Lots of falls. I am happy for Francois Pitot and Lucas Broussard. Both of them don’t have the huge tech content of a lot of the Russian and Japanese men, so they managed to rise to the occasion here with solid skates to take JGP medals.
Also, shoutout to Katarina Wolfkostin and Jeffrey Chen, who dominated ice dance

JGP Courchevel II
This time I – very surprisingly – decided to watch some ladies for a change so that it doesn’t seem that I live in a cave and so that I can get familiar with at least some of them.
Isabeau Levito - The Swan (Saint Seans) * Russian dance from Swan Lake I saw her at the Peggy Fleming Trophy and just knew she was special. I think a lot of people experience this “skating love” at first sight. For me, it’s Isabeau. Especially her step sequences are beautiful.
Nina Pinzarrone (BEL) - I will wait for you * Frida Nina is only 14 year old! I was amazed by her impeccable stylization into Frida. The costume, the flower crown, amazing spins, good jumps. Just an awesome program.
Kaiya Ruiter - Opportunity by Sia * Mulan I think Kaiya is an example of a skater with very balanced programs. She performs quite well for the spectators and doesn’t do many mistakes.
Ginevra Lavinia Negrello - GoT * La Terre vue du ciel She is a very expressive and mature skater. When it comes to jumps, both programs were quite unfortunate but it doens’t take away from the beautiful music and very fluid moves she does.
Niina Petrokina (EST) - Je n'attendais que vous * Love of my life  Her FP program didn’t go as planned, but I loved her great skating, mature performance and also a beautiful blue costume with red roses in the free.
And now some ice dance!
Solene Mazingue & Marko Jevgeni Gaidajenko - Clint Eastwood, Beggin * To build a home You probably already know that I’m a major hater of this season’s RD but this wasn’t bad at all. There were attempts at humorous choreography?! We take it all. And then in the FD a complete change, very nice calm program, great lift with Marko holding Solene in front of himself just by the upper part of her leg.
Barbora Zelená & Jáchym Novák - Seven Nation Army, Swing Baby * Rain in your black eyes, Fire on fire Awesome straight-line lift on one leg! That would be their trademark. But there were also 8 Ns on basic pattern :( and Jachym had some problems with twizzles (in RD as well as FD).  Good news is that Czech Republic has three junior ice dance teams!! And oh, what a great FD, it suits them much better, it’s much more fluid, the lift went even better.
Isabella Flores & Dmitry Tsarevski - Oh what a night for dancing * Nuvole bianche, Earth song Nice, oh wow what a rotational lift with Isabella hanging around Dmitry’s neck by her leg!, oh yessss, I’m happy it’s a “dancy” RD without streetdance vibes. And so fluid and light in the free, getting a silver medal and even winning the RD portion. What a debut! It’s interesting that they debuted quite late (in JGP terms) because they are both 18 yo.
Noemi Maria Tali & Stefano Frasca - Love is a lie * Always remember us this way I liked their FD, it was more lyrical with a nice spin at the beginning, it’s really soothing… And what an interesting curve lift with her “flying” under Stefano who is in a sitting position.
Oona Brown & Gage Brown - How ya like me now * Muse medley So quick, wiiiild, I liked it. But they were awarded only one yes on the blues pattern and the first half was deemed to be only basic?! That’s quite surprising, but it’s the beginning of the season. Good powerful skating in the free dance!
Eva Bernard & Tom Jochum - Black Swamp village * Kaleidoscope They are part of the Villard-de-Lans skating school and one of the many talented French junior ice dancers. This school produces some quite unconventional programs and I love it! Great blues, very defined finished moves. It’s a really enjoyable and crazy RD! And OMG the FD it’s like a mix of African woodoo and Indian tones it’s awesome. They are in synch, admittedly the music may be weird but they thrive! It was awesome. Such detailed choreography.
