Reigning Junior World Champions Sonia Baram and Daniel Tioumentsev of the US have split.

Sonia says she will continue in singles and is looking for a new partner for pairs. Daniel is not officially retiring but says he is "stepping away" for a bit. He is working full-time at SpaceX and is also a student at ASU.

2022 JGP Poland stage 2 entry #23

Junior pairs short program

Kemp/Elizarov(CAN)

Thoughts: No one can rock hot pink quite like Ava

Schmitz/Taylor(CAN)

Thoughts: Tristan’s neckline is too deep. And Ashlyn was very wobbly.

Baram/Tioumentsev(USA)

Thoughts: When I saw them in JGP Czech, I gave them a pass for the death spiral position. But I can't ignore it anymore. It is a legal position but it’s a less flattering position to curl the leg underneath the body. And I can’t just forgive Sophia because she knows how to rock a cotton candy pink dress.

Junior pairs free program

Kemp/Elizarov(CAN)

Thoughts: Their lifts still need some help but the improvement in their death spiral and their throws. I am so proud of them.

Schmitz/Taylor(CAN)

Thoughts: given that Ashlyn was still very wobbly, I didn’t expect their lift to go as smooth as it did.

Baram/Tioumentsev(USA)

Thoughts: so because Daniel fell, they only got credit for the triple sal and not a combination. Even though Sophia attempted the second jump? Yikes.

Raking the GPF programs - junior pairs SP edition

6 - Sophia Baram/Daniel Tioumentsev - Bla bla bla cha cha cha, choreo by Cindy Stuart

Cute but I despise the song. Solid technically but imho not my thing.

5 - Chloe Panetta/Kieran Thrasher - If I Ain’t Got You, choreo by Julie Marcotte

The technical elements are a struggle which is a shame because in that field, Chloe and Kieran are definitely the most classy, for lack of a better word. 

There’s a maturity to their skating, and certain abandon when they’re not struggling with the jumps, and throws, and the twist... Pretty much everything. Chloe was injured at the beginning of the season. And they’ve been skating what ? two seasons together, but ngl I’m not optimistic about their prospects.

4 - Haruna Murakami/Sumitada Moriguchi - Le Corsaire, choreo by Cathy Reed

Classical but nice. The jump requirement for the SP doesn’t allow them to showcase their ace which are stunninng SBS jumps, and puts their other pairs elements in the spotlight. It’s still a work-in-progress but they’re a very new pair.

Also best SBS spins of the field. So fast it’s a wonder.

3 -  Cayla Smith/Andy Deng - Summer of 42, choreo by Alena Lunin

Cayla and Andy have split just after the JGPF as Andy wanted to go to university. 

While the tech content of that pair wasn’t the highest, they had some really nice skating skills and a decent musicality. Summer of 42 is starting to get overplayed imho, but it suited them well.

2 - Anastasia Golubeva/Hector Giotopoulos-Moore - Architects of the Mind, choreo by Galina Pachin and Jonathan Guerreiro

Music is whatever but I like the choreo, it’s all about coiling and snapping, enfurling like a snake, or like an accordeon. And kudos to them because the music is extremely fast paced and they are able to maintain that drive throughout the program. A really solid team and I cannot wait to see them next years among seniors.

1 - Violetta Sierova/Ivan Khobta - Vesna, choreo by Pylyp Zalevskyi

Hands down the best choreo for a short program of the season among the pairs, juniors AND seniors.

There’s just so much to love there, starting with the costumes, with Ivan in traditional Ukrainian vyshyvanka, and while the embroidered flowers on Violetta’s dress are in the colour of the national flag.

The music choice also is outstanding. We need more ethno rock/folk, and less Western pop music in figure skating. And that song genuinely slaps. Please if you can have a look at the lyrics, they are beautiful, and in the context of the war, became even more haunting.

And finally the choreo is chock full of little details, lovely transitions, all taken from traditionnal dances, the hops, and turns and the moves.

Violetta and Ivan do need more speed, attack and projection to make that short really sing, so I hope they’re going to keep it for the next season and refine it.

The ISU has announced that there is a proposal in the works to up the men's age limit for Juniors for the 2024/25 season. Due to this, teams that competed together during the 2022/23 season but where the male will have reached 21 before July 1, 2023, will be allowed to compete in the 2023/24 season.

This does not help Japan’s Haruna Murakami/Sumitada Moriguchi, who have already split but might help World Junior Champs USA’s Sonia Baram/Daniel Tioumentsev, who have not made any announcements, but judging by the wording, only for one year.

Anastasia Golubeva and Hektor Giotopoulous Moore of Australia won the gold at the JGP Final. The US went 2-3, with Sophia Baram and Daniel Tioumentsev taking the silver and Cayla Smith and Andy Deng taking the bronze.

[figureskatingfanblog]

Just as a reminder to people watching Junior Worlds - Baram/Tioumentsev will be in limbo for the next few years. Sophia is only 14, and with her birthday in November, they will be ineligible for international competitions for three years as Daniel is going to be 21 in March. 

It seems that they’re going to continue skating together, though.

Also, similar situation with the Japanese pair - only their period is only two years instead of three.

[figureskatingfanblog]

Reigning World Champions Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier won their second national title in dominating fashion, winning by over thirty points. Emily Chan and Spencer Howe won the silver, Ellie Kam and Danny O’Shea won the bronze, and Sonia Baram and Daniel Tioumentsev won the pewter.
