Having confirmed they had a considerably better day than the boys, I'm now catching up with the Jr. women's SP.

Amaliia Nassybullina is quite lovely to watch. I really enjoy how she moves on the ice. #JGPFigure

Fell asleep during the last group but this tells you all how the Men's short went in Ankara.
Also, that fog I saw at the halfway mark, played a huge factor because of all those slips and falls.
😳
I 🙏🏾 all do better in the free on Saturday.

JGP Ankara - Men’s Short Program results #JGPFigure

Daiya Ebihara 🇯🇵 is in first place after the #JGPFigure 🇹🇷 men’s short programme.

#FigureSkating

We did it! Despite one of Jakub Tykal's boot straps coming undone on a fall on his 3Lz, we seem to have made it through the men's SP without injury!

#JGPFigure

Okay, we only have to make it through one more skater. We can do this. #JGPFigure

Latvian fed continually failing to capitalize on their access to Deniss Vasilijevs to teach their junior men to spin.

For Akims Kirilovs that was a solid skate and it was nice to see a successful skate finally. #JGPFigure

The ISU needs a protocol for pausing/delaying a competition when the ice quality degrades this much. Somebody's going to get hurt out there.

Alek Tankovic was 6th at US Jr. Nats last year, he's a stronger skater than that performance suggests. #JGPFigure

🇧🇦 Alek Tankovic is the first man to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina on the Junior Grand Prix! #JGPFigure

Albin Samuelsson started with a lovely 2A, but everything after was just a little bit messy. #JGPFigure

By contrast to some earlier music choices, Another Brick in the Wall is PERFECT music for a junior skater. But the same kind of issues we've been seeing for Sandro de Angelo.

Ted acknowledging that the sketchy ice condition is probably a contributing factor to how messy this has been. #JGPFigure

I think Mehmet Cenkay Karliki is the first skater I've ever seen do a program to Take Me Out. Weird music cut though.

Unfortunately, another rough skate. This has been a really hard night for the junior men. #JGPFigure

In Xi'an, it was the step sequence.
Today, in Ankara, it was the triple axel.
Great short from Daiya Ebihara (🇯🇵) nonetheless as he takes the lead in Ankara.
In Xi'an... he was outside of the top 3 going into the free.
Little improvement here in Ankara despite the mistake.
#JGPFigure

Daiya, your 3A! That 3Lz was fantastic though and the rest of the program was really solid. #JGPFigure

A little too much energy from Michaelangelo Caprano, he just couldn't keep himself under control. He's a fun skater. I like this program. #JGPFigure

Goes beyond that.
Hits 60.
Truly his best to date.
Again, marvelous short by Kaan Sanal (🇹🇷).
#JGPFigure

Kaan Sanal (🇹🇷) performed marvelously with his short.
Think he'll hit 50 here with less than 10 to go.
#JGPFigure

Kaan Sanal is so tiny he's almost swallowed up by the fog! The 2A was very pretty and he has really strong spins. #JGPFigure

GREAT 3A for Mohammed Aamara. And good job getting the triple on the end of his combo after popping the first jump. One to watch. #JGPFigure
