😳 that was awkward for Donghan Yu (🇰🇷).
Triple axel goes wrong but manages to get the combo in when suddenly... music stops playing.
Took a minute to fix things and suddenly...🤯.
Amazing short to Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" but... awkward scene there early on.
#JGPFigure

The landings weren't with Ryan William Azadpour today and his shirt is kind of hideous, but he's a lovely skater with some really nice qualities #JGPFigure

Slightly behind starting the #JGPFigure Ankara men's SP, but I'll catch up in the next warm-up!

#JGPFigure Ankara TUR Pairs SP Top 8
🔢 Videos/Protocols: bit.ly/4Ay3rDI
1 Guseva/Ovchinnikov 70.48
2 Shesheleva/Karnaukhov 63.26
3 Mapelli/Quesada Grau 57.55
4 Cohen/Vochozka 53.23
5 Jarmoc/Witkowski 49.91
6 Ranzi/Legault 49.32
7 Oh/Felberbaum 47.37
8 Guo/Zhang 46.93

Starting off the Junior Men's short with Ryan William Azadpour (🇺🇲) in which... did really good, just need to work on those landings of his jumps.
They got messy but managed to get full rotations.
61.51 is to me an improvement.
It'll be beat of course but an improvement nonetheless.
#JGPFigure

Now... moving on to the Junior Men's short from Ankara with... 33 skaters?!
🤯
Long day indeed.
#JGPFigure

To me, there were only 2 bright spots in the Junior Pairs short other than those 2 neutral teams.
The 🇺🇲 pairs team of Elizabeth Yun/Mitchell Castelletti and the 🇪🇸 team of Anita Mapelli/Noah Quesada Grau.
Other than that... totally forgettable short in Ankara.
#JGPFigure

As I said before, Pairs is the 1 category I didn't want to see 🇷🇺 at all even if neutral because they kill the field.
They kill the vibe which it did for me by the time we got to the final group.
Ended up playing video games on my phone when the final group skated.
😔
#JGPFigure

Junior Pairs short for Ankara over and...😮‍💨.
As I said earlier, seen no Junior Pairs team score over 70 in their first event.
Ridiculous that the first team out scored that high.
More ridiculous, the fact that no one came close and almost every team had a mistake or a fall.

🇰🇿 Vassilianna Shelestova / Abay Sadykov are the first pairs team representing Kazakhstan to participate in the Junior Grand Prix! #JGPFigure

Why does Russia have two pairs? I thought countries had to earn extra spots through Junior Worlds?
#JGPFigure

Going to sound nuts but junior pairs skater Abay Sadykov (🇰🇿) looks so much like reigning NJPW World Champion and G1 Climax 35 winner Konosuke Takeshita.
Need to take pictures for comparisons because it's insane... the similarities.
#JGPFigure

A few issues but they will work on it!! ❤️🇨🇦⛸️ #figureskating #Canada #JGPFigure #JGPAnkara

I like this French couple!! 42.56 #FigureSkating #JGPFigure #JGPAnkara ❤️⛸️

Good crowd in Ankara!!👏👏👏 #FigureSkating #JGPFigure #JGPAnkara ❤️⛸️

This was the 1 category I did want to see 🇷🇺 compete in at all because... they kill the field.
To any1 that has yet to watch #JGPFigure Ankara, skip the Pairs, going to get repeat of Xi'an.

Don't care if you're 🇷🇺 or neutral, scoring that high of a score at a junior event especially a #JGPFigure in the Pairs field.
No 1 has ever went to that number.
Not even that fake 🇬🇪 pairs team went to that number in their first event.
Just ridiculous.
