Non-dance Day

After another amazing breakfast at Baker's Square (served by Raspberry Rachel), we arrived at the arena in time for the final groups of junior pairs. This being a non-dance day, it's a good opportunity to catch up on posting content while enjoying the other events.

On to the junior men... Adam Rippon skated with such ease and flow, while Brandon Mroz showcased his wonderful athleticism and skill. One of the wonders of IJS is that it allows you to still be in the medal hunt when you're 12th in the short program - case in point, Ricky Dornbush finishing third in the free skate and fourth overall. Keegan Messing's free skate, which part of the music sounded like the theme from Gremlins, was a treat and seeing Andrew Gonzalez's face on the jumbotron when he realized he won a medal was priceless. Overall the event was really fun to watch.

The championship men took the ice for the final event of the day - wow! They continued the trend of the juniors with some standout performances - Weir, Lysacek, Bradley, Abbott & Carriere to name a few.

Back to Karen's for rest and recharge.
