\"10JGPF-SD-0154-SZ-LC\"The Russian Junior National competition kicked off\u2026<\/span>  <\/p>\n

Oops.<\/p>\n

The short dance at the Junior Grand Prix Final finished with Russian teams claiming the top four spots (and the sixth and the eighth). Pre-event favorites Ksenia Monko & Kirill Khaliavin, who have not lost a Grand Prix competition since South Africa in 2008, are in second place behind countrymen Victoria Sinitsina & Ruslan Zhiganshin. The score is  very close — 55.58 vs. 55.50 — with Sinitsina & Zhiganshin winning the TES and Monko & Khaliavin coming out on top in PCS. Right on their heels are Alexandra Stepanova & Ivan Bukin with 53.59 (second in TES) and Ekaterina Pushkash & Jonathan Guerreiro 53.06 (second in PCS).<\/p>\n

Sinitsina & Zhiganshin earned high levels for their five required elements. Their rotational lift and twizzles were called level 4 and received positive GOE. Their midline sequence was level 3 and earned mostly +1s, except for one judge who saw it as a -3 GOE. Although they netted negative GOE for their two patterns of the Viennese Waltz (-.21 and -.07), the first was a level 4 and the second a level 3, by far the highest VW score at 12.72.<\/p>\n

Although they also had their lift and twizzles called level 4 and their midline level 3, Monko & Khaliavin’s Viennese Waltz patterns earned them only 9.22 for their levels 3 and 1 and Stepanova & Bukin’s 4\/2 a 12.07. Pushkash & Guerreiro’s Viennese was higher than Monko & Khaliavin’s — 9.71 — even though they had lower levels, going 1\/2. They were the only team in the top four to receive a level 2 on their midline, but the execution was strong, earning a full +1 in GOE. The 1.5 point difference between level 2 and 3 in the midline was too much for them to overcome, however.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Americans Charlotte Lichtman & Dean Copely placed fifth with 50.74, keeping them in position to play spoiler to a Russian podium sweep. Lichtman & Copely earned level 4s on their lift and twizzles and level 3 on their midline, all netting positive GOE. Both patterns of the Viennese Waltz were called level 2, though, and a miscalculation regarding the location of the rink boards cost them -.29 on the second pattern.<\/p>\n

The three teams at the bottom of the standings all had their twizzles called level 4 and the midline step sequences a level 2. Russians Evgenia Kosigina & Nikolai Moroshkin had problems during their rotational lift and were lucky to have pulled a level 3 and a net loss of only -.36. Their Viennese levels were 2\/1. Ukrainians Anastasia Galyeta & Alexei Shumski, who stand in seventh, and Russians Marina Antipova & Artem Kudashev, who are eighth, both earned level 4s on their lifts. However, they didn’t pull high levels in the Viennese. Galyeta & Shumski received base GOE on their two level 1 patterns. Antipova & Kudashev went 1\/2, but earned negative GOE on both patterns.<\/p>\n

The junior free dance kicks off day two’s competitive events. The skaters take the ice at 2:15 p.m. Beijing time (1:15 a.m. EST).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
