Junior Worlds: Pairs Short Program Results
Wednesday, February 22, 2012
Junior Worlds: Pairs Preview
Sui and Han are the two-time reigning Champions of this event and the only medalist returning from last season. They also just won the Four Continents title at the senior level. They won two gold medals on the JGP and the JGP Final this season as well as a silver medal on the Senior Grand Prix. They have a quad twist and a throw quad in their free skate which gives them a technical content unmatched in the world. Their size difference also allows from some interesting and difficult lift entrances and exits. This is their title to lose, but they've shown that big elements can be costly as a mistake on the throw quad at Cup of China cost them a medal and a trip to the Grand Prix Final. They have the best short program, free skate and total score of the season. They have the 4th best short program, 3rd best free skate and 3rd best total senior scores of the season.
Bobak/Beharry won a gold and silver medal on the JGP to qualify for the JGP Final where they won silver. Their silver medal came in their first competition together and they improved by 15 points to take the gold in Estonia. They have been known to come from behind after a poor short program, but have really cleaned this segment up to keep them in contention the whole competition. They have the 2nd best short program, 3rd best free skate and 3rd best total score of the season.
Yu/Jin won two silver medals on the JGP to qualify for the Final and took home gold from the Youth Olympic Games. They increased their score by 15 points from Latvia to Austria. However, they dropped to a disappointing 5th place at the Final, even though they were only 2 points from the podium. They have the 3rd best short program, 2nd best free skate and 2nd best total score of the season.
Simpson/Blackmer won a gold and silver medal on the JGP and qualified for the Final where they won bronze. Their gold medal came in their first event together as a team and they were the first U.S. team to win JGP gold since 2007. Their free skate is especially breathtaking set to the music from Titanic and is wonderfully emoted. They have the 4th best short program, 5th best free skate and 4th best total score of the season.
Petaikina/Kurdyukov won bronze at JGP Austria and qualified for the JGP Final. They showed significant improvement between Latvia and Austria with a 17 point improvement in their score. They just missed the podium at the JGP Final, finishing .18 behind Simpson and Blackmer. They have the 7th best short program, 4th best free skate and 5th best total score of the season.
Li/Jiang: While they didn't win a medal on the JGP, their scores are some of the best in this field and they showed significant improvement during the season with a 38 point bump in their scores between Latvia and Austria. They have the 8th best short program, 6th best free skate and 7th best total score of the season.
Purdy/Marinaro won bronze at JGP Latvia showing a big improvement over their previous placements but dropped to 10th place with a score 17 points lower in Austria. They have the 7th best free skate and 9th best total score of the season.
Other teams in the mix include Davankova/Deputat who won the Russian Junior National title and Denney/Frazier who won the US Junior National title.
Teams who won a medal on the JGP but are not at this event include Russians Tudvaseva/Lisiev (alternates) and Americans Calalang/Sidhu (alternates).

Junior Grand Prix Final Pairs Preview
These teams range in age from 14 to 21. One has a Grand Prix Final medal and one has a Junior Grand Prix Final medal from last season. They won 4 gold medals, 4 silvers and 2 bronzes on the circuit this season.
Sui and Han kicked off their season with a win in Latvia and again in Austria with a 15 point increase in their score. They are capable of quad throws and twists, but a mistake on their quad throw on the Grand Prix cost them a medal and a spot in the Grand Prix Final. They have the best short program, free skate and total score of the season.
Yu and Jin won silver behind Sui and Han at both Latvia and Austria and also increased their score by 15 points between events. They have the 2nd best short program, free skate and total score of the season.
Petaikina and Kurduykov finished 4th in Latvia but improved to the bronze medal after increasing their score by 17 points in Austria. While their places don't seem to be impressive, they were in tough fields and their scores put them among the best. They have the 6th best short program, 4th best free skate and total score of the season.
Tudvaseva and Lisiev are replacing Calalang and Sidhu who withdrew due to injury. They started their season with a 5th place finish in Latvia, but quickly rebounded to the bronze medal in Poland. They have the 10th best short program of the season.
Simpson and Blackmer won the gold medal in their debut in Poland and were the first USA team to win JGP gold since 2007. They followed it up with a silver medal in Estonia. They have the 5th best short program, free skate and total score of the season.
Bobak and Beharry made their debut in Poland and took home the silver medal. They improved by 17 points in Estonia to take home the gold medal. They have come from behind with their free skates several times, so it is often their short program which will determine how high they can climb in the free skate and what medal they can grab. They have the 4th best short program, 3rd best free skate and total score of the season.

JGP Austria Pairs Preview
Although Sui and Han finished below their personal best at their first Grand Prix event, they still took home the gold medal by a comfortable margin. A medal of any color here will likely secure them a spot in the Junior Grand Prix Final but they'll be hoping for a return to the Grand Prix Final. Their teammates Yu and Jin won silver behind them at JGP Latvia and are likely to do the same here. They finished slightly below their personal best at their first event, which I expect to improve here. Purdy and Marinaro already have a bronze medal this season and finished behind the two Chinese teams in Latvia.
Kadlecova and Bidar of the Czech Republic pulled double duty last season competing as seniors and juniors. Their best result was a 7th place finish at Europeans. They were fairly consistent last season and had solid results but have yet to climb onto the medal stand at a major international event.
Two Russian teams are also looking for a medal finish: Petaikina/Kurduykov and Vasilieva/Shevchuk. Neither have won a medal on the Junior Grand Prix and with so many talented Russian pairs teams they'll need a medal to prove they can cut it on the international circuit and have a shot at Junior Worlds.
My podium predictions:
Gold: Sui/Han
Silver: Yu/Jin
Bronze: Kadlecova/Bidar

JGP Poland Pairs Preview
Tudvaseva and Lisiev finished below the podium at the first event in Latvia. But with the absence of top Chinese teams, they should be a contender here. Their biggest competition will be from Aaron/Settlage of the United States and Bobak/Beharry of Canada who are both making their international debut. Aaron/Settlage are the reigning national novice champions and competed well against established teams at the junior level in their summer competitions. Bobak/Beharry are a new team and won the free skate at the Indy Pairs Challenge earlier this summer. Brittany Simpson of the United States is one of the more experienced skaters of the bunch, having competed on the JGP, at Junior Worlds and on the Grand Prix. She is competing here with her new partner Matthew Blackmer and will be looking to recapture the same success.
My podium predictions:
Gold: Bobak/Beharry
Silver: Aaron/Settlage
Bronze: Tudvaseva/Lisiev
Paliakova/Fomichev, BLR: They finished 18th at Junior Worlds. This is their JGP debut. She is 19 and he is 20.
