slightly shocking result in the junior international- i thought Wolfkostin/Tsarevski won the RD, but they’re in 3rd. they scored 70 in the RD here last year as seniors. they had a twizzle issue, but nobody fell, it didn’t feel drastic, and you’re telling me this program was 13 points off last season? very curious to see the video. they feel more mature and seasoned than the other teams so this score felt stingy 👀
Peals look like one of the stronger teams here in finish but also looked slow. Aboian/Veselukhin are zippy, she’s such a performer, they have a nice spark, but they skate small. which, she’s 14. Mullens cover a lot of ice in their twizzles and RoLi but lost control a bit in the twizzles
Corneil/Emery, the newly junior IAMO team, had a good debut- they look stronger as skaters and have gelled more since Novice Nationals. they looked a little cautious today but did well. and he cut his ponytail and wore contacts, and they skated to Aretha
Epps/Gilman had Patrice in the kiss and cry with them 👀 but also had their regular coach- are they splitting time in MTL? their packaging looks like they might have had IAM input. and Charlie was at the boards for Batkova/Yang - idk if i forgot or didn’t know they’re MIDA?
also a Belgian team i didn’t know who skated well today and are in 5th- - Sofia Beznosikova/Max Leleu
W/T skated Car Wash (Christina Aguilera cover) and Disco Inferno. both Greg and Charlie are here
Madi and Adrian for IAMO

Junior Dance Comparison: Courchevel and Lake Placid
At last, the junior season kicks off for realsies this time! We're still not 100% sure what a score is, and we don't think the skaters are entirely sure either, but at least the first set of medalists have those new wine decanters. Oh France. Still, it's a better gift than what the teams at Lake Placid got, which was medical attention. We've put together a comparison of the teams from the first two events and some speculation about the rest of the season, along with some analysis of the new twizzle rules and their impact.
Front Runners
Shanaeva/Naryzhnyy
RD FD
They kicked off the JGP with a well deserved victory, and have one of our favorite RDs so far(bonus points for Laura Osnes). They would have been in first from the start had it not been for a costume failure deduction. It's just a really well put together program, the foxtrot section is lovely and fits perfectly with the pattern, and their showmanship and pizzazz to end is really spectacular. Their FD has really progressed since test skates just a few weeks ago showing more attack and synch throughout. And of course their impressive lifts in both programs utilizing distinctive entries and changes of position repurposed into new lifts for this season. We will say the final section of their free dance is still a work in progress. It's a little chaotic both musically and in their skating, there's a lot going on there that needs to be smoothed out. We're interested to see how this more modern free dance develops, especially in comparison to fellow winners Nguyen/Kolesnik's classical style.
Nguyen/Kolesnik
RD FD
These relentlessly charming kids are back and have their sight set on the junior world title, and they're off to a good start. They have their signature amazing lifts and performance quality, and have upgraded technically as well as just continuing to gel as a team. Their rhythm dance is fun and beautifully costumed, although we feel like the construction is somewhat suboptimal. The transition into the foxtrot part could be better, and the slowed down A Whole New World didn't entirely work for us. They really went after those keypoints though, and hopefully they'll nail those tricky twizzles at their next outing when there isn't a demon possessing the ice. Their free dance is very pretty and mature, but we felt like it didn't go anywhere. It's probably more of a stylistic preference-- we prefer a bit more of a build while they were going more for a beautiful seamless flow, and pulled it off wonderfully. Even if this program might not end up a personal fave by the end of the season, their sheer quality in skating and emoting will always be a fave. Their skating is so soft, no unnecessary clunky muscling across the ice. If they keep this up, it's going to be hard for anyone to beat them.
Medalists
Demougeot/Le Mercier
RD FD
Won the RD in Courchevel by a nose but weren't quite polished enough in the FD to win overall. Their FD is one that would be difficult to have no opinion about either way but we found ourselves firmly pro Weird Carmen. There are still some things that they can clean up, but they've really made themselves stand out, which can be hard to do with a Carmen program. As a note of interest, their FD choreography draws heavily from French senior Theatre on Ice team Villard’s free program last season, which featured solo ice dancers as well as Demougeot/Le Mercier and three other JGP teams. You can catch a non-competitive performance featuring the dance teams at the start of the Courchevel exhibition video. But back to ice dance, Demougeot/Le Mercier’s results have entered them into the conversation to potentially qualify for their first JGPF this season, a great next step after breaking into the top ten at the most recent Junior Worlds.
Davis/Smolkin
RD FD
Many fans were intrigued after their somewhat unexpected coaching change over the summer, and it seems that going abroad has paid off for them. They've improved a lot, both individually and as a team. They've both increased their stage presence, especially Gleb, and their emoting is more nuanced and mature than last year. They have some pretty spectacular lifts as well with unexpected entries and positions. What Davis/Smolkin do not have is a commitment to the cat theme in their RD, but they have a neat choreographic moment near the end where she's in a lunge as he runs across the ice to make up for it. Given the depth of their domestic field, making junior worlds is going to be an uphill climb, but this is a great start to their campaign, especially if they can make it to the JGPF.
Katashinskaia/Vaskovich
RD FD
A fairly new team, despite some misfortune in the free dance managed to do enough to hang on to the podium. The strength of their RD really saved them here, giving them just enough of an edge over other bronze medal contenders in the field. With the depth of the Russian junior dance field, especially with Andreeva/Desyatov missing their JGP through no fault of their own, it's not guaranteed that these two will get a second assignment, but even so they've gained good experience for the future here. They can at least work hard to develop their connection as a team and clean their elements before Nationals.
Taschlerova/Taschler
RD FD
Small feds represent! This was probably the upset of the JGP thus far. They worked hard over the summer, came to this event as underdogs without any fanfare, and just managed to snag that bronze. We're interested to see if they can keep it up, it's always nice when countries(other than France sometimes) can break the USA/CAN/RUS stranglehold. They clearly have really improved too, and their RD especially was very charming and light. What's best is that they still have a lot of room to grow, particularly in their emotional free dance. Definitely keep an eye on them to see if they can shake up any more events. They don't have domestic competition to worry about, so they can put all their energy in focusing on their international assignments and continuing to ruin people's predictions.
Canadian Brawl
Bronsard/Bouaraguia
RD FD
Missing out on a medal by a hair, this fan favorite Canadian team showed a lot of energy in their first JGP event despite mistakes. It's always lovely to see a team visibly enjoying themselves so much while they skate and what else does lip syncing through programs say but pure joy. They had some stumbles in both programs, but clearly will score very well when they skate clean. For the first time in a while, Canada has three spots for the junior world team, and they're definitely gunning for one of them. Their strong basics and expression will help them there, and their programs are nicely packaged too. Emmy is an especially joyous skater, and Aissa has such solid partnering and powerful stroking, while still matching her energy.
McIsaac/Circelli
RD FD
Olivia wins our "best dressed junior lady" award so far, which is clearly the most important. They've made a lot of upgrades this year, and their free dance is especially great, but so far they're not getting the scores they could have hoped for. They're really nailing the very different styles of their programs this year, and they've made a lot of progress, but they're giving up points. Still they have solid vehicles, and if they clean the details and get the levels, that free dance might make it to junior worlds.
Makita/Gunara
RD FD
These two have another fierce contender for favorite junior RD of the season. They're just so cute and have grown so much(figuratively and physically). It's everything we had dreamed of for the junior RD this season. The free dance is a change for them, more bluesy and a little farther out of their comfort zone, which also means more room to grow. They just lost out on a medal at Lake Placid, but they've still shot way up from their JGP performance last year and have established themselves as contenders for one of the junior world spots.
Galiyanova/Lochhead
RD FD
They've worked really hard over the summer and made a ton of upgrades, but we fear that they may have bitten off a little more than they can chew and that they won't get this down in time to really make an impact this season. Added challenges and intricacies only pay off when the elements are still well executed and so far they’ve struggled to put things together. Galiyanova/Lochhead are bringing so much to the table-- strong basics, lots of expressiveness, choreo that's both unique and intricate, mildly questionable fashion sense-- and we'd really love to see them succeed even if we have to put up with Sparkle Bra. Here's hoping they've gotten the last of their jitters out here and it's smooth sailing going forwards.
Newbies On The Rise
Wolfkostin/Chen
RD FD
It's a real bummer when your JGP debut is marred through no fault of your own, as they were one of a couple teams in the RD to have music issues. While your music getting interrupted is annoying and distracting no matter what, ice dance is probably the worst discipline for it and the pattern is the worst element for it to happen on. It's probably disappointing for them that didn't get to have a complete runthrough, but we're incredibly impressed with their competitive grit that they could just get right back into it like nothing happened. They had some stumbles in the FD but they're looking great for a first season, and definitely in contention for a spot at Junior Worlds in a highly competitive field.
Terreau/Peron
RD
Competing in Courchevel for their second career JGP, they certainly left an impression with their FD reminding everyone of good old 90s ice dance. Traditional French ice dance remains alive and well at least amongst the juniors, and Terreau/Peron are one of several young teams looking to make their mark. It will be interesting to see across the upcoming JGP events what type of domestic battle we will be seeing for France’s two spots at Junior Worlds.
Yoshida/Nishiyama
RD FD
Together for six months and already fan faves on the rise. They're extremely charming with Broadway pizazz in their RD and plenty of flair in the FD, and have already begun to gel, bringing together their individual skating strengths. Unlike most of the other teams in this round up, they have no domestic competition and so can just focus on improving and striving for a top ten finish at Junior Worlds, as well as looking ahead to the future. If they keep developing like this, Japan could have a top contender in dance sooner rather than later.
Ales/Tsarik
RD FD
They made a very solid JGP debut in Lake Placid finishing fifth with two energetic performances despite some minor stumbles. They have an endearingly hammy performance style and a solid foundation for a fairly new team. Ella's flexibility is being put to great use in their lifts and spin, and Daniel's a really strong partner. You can see his dance background in the way he moves, and they just partner really well together. They're going to need to keep pushing if they want one of those junior world spots, but they've proven here that they're more than capable of holding their own in their home field as long as they stay stable and don't make errors.
Tkachenko/Kiliakov
RD FD
We talk a lot about how difficult it is to move from junior to senior in ice dance, but a lot of the same challenges exist in the transition from novice to junior as well. Connection to the music and between partners matters more and more moving up the levels, but these two already have an extremely strong technical base with everything else likely to come in the future if they continue to work as they have been. Competition experience is another important factor and they no doubt took home a lot of lessons from their JGP debut as the youngest team in the field. We're not sure that they'll be able to push for the National podium yet, though it's possible if they really work on their levels, but it's not important for them right now. They lack the power of some of the older teams but their potential is enormous and they're shaping up to be a very formidable team in a year or two.
Twizzles Changes
One of the more debated changes to the rules this season has been the mandatory contact between the first and second set of twizzles in the free dance. It's certainly been interesting to see the effect it's had. We were pretty tickled to see Fradji/Fourneaux actually just high fiving for their mandatory contact. One effect the new rules have had that has not been fully discussed is how it forces teams to mind their twizzle spacing. Previously it only impacted GOE. In Courchevel Wolfkostin/Chen drifted a bit on their first set and there was a little bit of improvised flinging to get them back together again. In Lake Placid, Bratti/Couyras missed a blade grab due to misjudged spacing resulting in a slight loss of balance and negative GOE for the twizzles. Depending on how involved your mandatory contact is, getting too far apart could really throw you off and cause you to fall behind in your program. Scrambling to get caught up isn't a good look, and is likely to affect your elements as well as your performance.

26/11 is a past; now for Praveen Ironman Teotia its only ‘Run, Run and Run’
When Sportsavour last met Praveen Teotia, he signed off by saying, “Pain is there, it will always be there. But overcoming it is the greatest challenge. Success reduces all the pain…both mentally and physically.”
Two years have passed in between and in these two years, Praveen Teotia has courageously faced all challenges and bravely conquered those. Today, he is one of the most successful long-distance runners of India- a victorious marathon man and a triumphant Ironman.
THE PAST – AS A MARINE COMMANDO
It was on the night of 26/11 when Praveen Teotia, a marine commando, took four bullets in his lungs and ear while resisting the insurgents of Taj Hotel in Mumbai. It was the most terrific terrorist attack in India. For almost 6 months he was in hospital, fighting for life against death. His lungs ruptured, he had multiple operations and even the doctors planted prosthetic ear to bring back his face symmetry. Praveen could not move his right hand and also could not walk. But he never lost hope….the hope to survive.
Praveen Teotia’s strong will power brought him back to the mainstream. Post hospitalization, several medications made him extremely weak but at the same time he began to gain weight. He joined his office in Vishakhapatnam to continue his service in Navy but was assigned administrative desk job. It is during this time, Teotia started motivating himself to start afresh. He began jogging and running- first to keep him fit and then to remain involved. Praveen used to set a target everyday. For the first few days he ran 500 m and then gradually increased his distance. Within 1 month he started running 5 km a day and also reduced his weight from 78 kg to 67 kg. He began to feel fit and therefore applied for Navy Mountaineering Expedition. But he was rejected on medical ground. Instead of becoming disheartened, he became more determined. In 2014, Teotia forced his transfer to Mumbai and from then onwards another exciting chapter of his life started.
THE PRESENT – AS A RUNNER
Praveen Teotia participated in Mumbai Marathon in 2014 but under an alias as he knew that Indian Navy would not permit him to take part in a marathon. He was successful in his first attempt as he finished the race in 1 hour and 53 minutes. Next year he ran the full marathon. Though he cramped in the middle, still he finished the race in 4 hours 37 minutes. In 2016, he came out from his alias and took part in the Indian Navy Half Marathon. But as the Navy was still not convinced about his fitness, he did not clash with the authority and took a voluntary retirement. Since then Praveen Teotia has participated in various long-distance runs both at national and international level.
In February 2017, Praveen took part in Goa Triathlon where he covered 1.5 km of Swimming, 40 km of Cycling and 10 km of Running. This win made him high with confidence. So, Praveen decided to do another encounter but this time against nature’s dangerous landform Khardung La. On 9th September Praveen and his fellow runner reached the top of the Pass that runs at an altitude of 18,380 feet. He finished the race in 12 hours 43 minutes, before the stipulated time of 14 hours.
“Glory always comes with guts, not by death. It is not something that is awarded or gifted but is always earned.”
With the much-needed endurance level, Praveen Teotia has touched new heights. He has damaged lungs and serious hearing disability; but still he has achieved the title of Ironman, not once but thrice.
1st Ironman on 15th April 2018 at Nelson Mandela Bay in South Africa
“It was the day of Ironman Triathlon Championship in South Africa in which one has to swim 3.8 km, cycle 180 km and run 42.2 km. After finishing Swimming, I started Cycling. When I reached 110 km on my cycle, suddenly the derailleur broke and the chain got twisted. I fell down on the road with a bang on my knee that started to bleed immediately. But luck favoured me as the bike maintenance centre was just 50 m from where I fell. The volunteers helped me to rush to the centre with my cycle. The servicing was done but it took away almost 35 minutes from my schedule and more importantly the derailleur was removed. With a mechanical disadvantage and a bleeding knee, I cycled the remaining 70 km against some strong winds. But I stayed focussed on finishing the remaining distance within the cut-off time. I pushed myself, thought of not losing the battle and continuously motivated myself to finish 180 km of cycling within the fixed time. I reached my target, became the Ironman for the first time and had a great feeling. But that day I made up my mind not to stop but continue to push my limits.”
2nd Ironman on 17th November 2018 at Langkawi in Malayasia
“I woke up early in the morning, did my meditation and yoga before heading towards the venue. It was a clear morning with lovely atmosphere and 1276 participants from 61 countries. The Swimming started at around 8am. But suddenly the weather changed, the clear sky got covered with cloud and rain started. The strong winds began to push me back. The kayaks which were in the water for route safety started getting dislodged and came in the way of the participants. One of the kayaks almost hit me but somehow I saved myself. I finished the remaining distance and ran to the transition area where the participants took shower, changed and picked up their bike for the next phase of 180 km Cycling. The bike course was absolutely spectacular where we had to complete two laps around the island. But due to rain the road became a nightmare. Throughout the first lap the rain continued. Then it stopped and again the weather changed. The sun was up above the head, shining brightly making the temperature high and humid. I was dried outside but my socks and shoes were wet inside. My feet were drenched and blisters made them worse. Suddenly I felt a little pain in my damaged lungs. I was worried that I might not face the situation further. But I remembered my Marcos training where I was trained never to give up in any situation. I completed my bike ride almost one hour late than what I targeted. After a quick break in the second transition area, I started my Marathon of 42 km. But it seemed like an uphill task for me. I felt pain in my lungs that gradually increased. So I stopped running and began walking. I had only two options then- either to give up the task or continue going. At that point, my inner self acted as my confidant who gave me confidence to finish the task. I started running again and only stopped after crossing the finishing line. I completed my 2nd Ironman Challenge that took 15 hours and 23 minutes. After this event, I understood that physical preparation is definitely needed for any endurance test but what is needed more is the training of mind.”
3rd Ironman on 28th July 2019 at Lake placid in New York
“Ironman Challenge in Lake Placid is any triathlete’s dream. It was also a dream coming true for me. On the day of the event, I put some bananas in my bike bag and an extra pair of socks in my running bag. With a flag of India, I reached the venue as early as 6 0’clock. The venue was absolutely fantastic. The race started with Swimming. All was well as I completed the Swimming part of my race smoothly. But after finishing as I was in the transition area, dizziness dawned on me. I started feeling hungry and weak. I ignored the weakness, had a banana and began Cycling. Hardly it was 10 km of Cycling, I felt that I would fall from my bike. I was sacred; I murmured- ‘ Oh God, how I will compete?’ Lots of questions started coming into my mind. I rested a little, took a deep breath and again started. On reaching 20 km I found an aid station. I had some chocolates, energy gels and drinks. This rehydrated my body and I felt a bit fresh. Till 65 km, the track was non-hazardous but after that it was totally an uphill road. Wind was against us as all athletes faced difficulty in cycling. I pushed myself hard against the wind. It took 4 hours and 90 minutes to finish the first lap of 90 km. I was quite worried of getting disqualified as the next 90 km was harder and I knew I had to paddle faster. It was an extreme test of endurance for me. I tried my best and I don’t know from where all the power came. It was a do or die situation for me and the only option was to move forward. I finished the next 90 km in much lesser time. I was the happiest man at that point of time. I quickly went to the second transition area, changed to running attire and started my final round. The running track also comprised of uphill and downhill course but I successfully completed it in 4 hours 57 minutes. It was an extremely proud moment for me. It was an Ironman hatrick for me.”
There is a unique saying- ‘Tough time does not last, tough people do.’ Praveen Teotia is a burning example of this. I a true sense, he is a man of mettle. Praveen, presently, is in New York to run at the New York City Marathon and later this month he will be in Pune for another Marathon. 26/11 is a thing of past for him now. He has stepped far ahead from that; has been in his own world of comfort where there is only ‘ Run, Run and Run’.

Results of the Solo Dance RD at the Lake Placid International (hi Emmy!). idk much about solo dance, but i do love that it’s a single event for all genders
these are many of the officials present at Lake Placid - they’re assigned to the dozens of events there in different configurations. it’s always weird to me that the head of the ISU dance committee, Shawn Rettstatt, can sit on panels
the disparity btw judges in PCS is wild - you have judge 6, Hazel Wecal from Denver, getting her marks thrown out for every skater in the top 8 as the lowest - sometimes her mark is 2 whole points lower than the average 😬 but then she’s one of the higher scoring judges lower down in the rankings
watch her PCS tomorrow for the free be more in line - often it’s like they get a talking to btw events when they’re too different

I used to think Carol was the right coach for Nadiia and Peter but seeing this programs… really not sure anymore. These feel junior-ish in a way that doesn’t showcase them well, and quirky in a way that Piper and Paul can do but I’m not sure is right for B/B. Nadiia and Peter excel with more sophisticated programs imo and the new RD and FD do not have the taste level they need. And we know taste level is a common issue with Carol. Curious to see if/how it evolves.
the transition from junior to senior is so hard in big feds - a jr world medalist team's taken care of in that first season after with a GP assignment but then often drops back into the pack because they have developing to do before they're on level with more experienced teams but don't necessarily get sent out for international experience like they might if their fed had few top teams. that's where they're at right now. and it can take a couple seasons (or more) to find their way to a breakthrough (or not)
i feel like i want to see more RDs to get a sense how theirs fits into the field, see how everyone looks at Lake Placid. it's very early yet
but i agree that the FD looks like Carol Lane gave them a Piper/Paul-ish program, and the packaging's mystifying. one of the tracks is a Rhumba by Walter Laird and Nico Gomez - Walter Laird was a British ballroom champion after World War 2. you can't tell me Nadiia and Peter came up with that. it feels like a coach saying let's stretch them, show they can do something that's not balletic. the music starts ok but a couple of the pieces sound antiquated. but it's a program that needs high energy start to finish, and their conditioning and comfort with it is in July shape, not mid-season shape, so i look forward to seeing how it develops
#it's a coaching conundrum - if you stretch a team outside their wheelhouse#then they won't look their best at first and might lose momentum#but if you don't then you get a team without range#and not all have the resources or appeal to mitigate that (somewhat) like a f/g
