Katerina HANUSOVA (CZE) | Junior Women Free Skating | Gdansk 2025

My next skater represents Czechia, Katarina Hanusova. And talking of, you know, rotation and good jumping quality, Katarina Hanusova has some wonderfully good jumping passes that I hope we will see in this free skate to come. Skating to Icy Red by everybody loves an outlaw and Let's Get Loud by Jennifer Lopez. Did you really think I'd just forgive and forget? No. After catching you with her, your blood started running cold. I'm so cold. You. You're too tired and she's lying. Won't be your fool. If you thought that I'd just let this go. Did you really just say she didn't mean anything? Oh. You. Oh, what a wonderful sit spin to finish the program for Czechia's Katarina Hanusova. Amazing sit side speed of rotation. You can see in the face of Katarina disappointment because the jumps which have the potential for such good creative execution didn't quite materialize with some mistakes made. What a powerful jumper, a powerful skater. Didn't really, for me at least, connect so much to the music because the technical elements were priority, of course. And she's a good jumper. Take a look at some of those elements here. Great lift into the air, good distance as well. Let's see what happens here on the triple flip. Start the program, hands above the head. Tight landing, but a beautiful jump. Take a look at the triple loop here. Straight up, on top. Nice flow on that one. Really has the timing down. Looks comfortable to take off. That was a huge triple toe, double toe. That was a beauty. Just primed for a triple toe, triple toe. Really like, well she actually looks up. It makes me think of Louie Chan a little bit. Looking up a little bit, really elongating her neckline here. Unfortunately there, just continue to rotate. Didn't stop the rotation early enough to check out. Here's that final sit spin. Oh, glad you thought it worthy of the replay. Of course. Read your mind. Eight rotations in the sit side. That two features there, then the sit behind, and then the finish. Yeah. Good group of execution there. We'll see. 92.42, personal best from, I believe, last year. Might be the year before that. Not sure she's going to reach that score here. PCs are in the low fives. But the leader right now is also in the low fives, a little bit higher. Yeah, we're definitely in the middle of the event, whereby clean skates will have, there's a huge swing range for these athletes at present. How do you make that jump into the consistency where you can deliver a six triple program with good grade of execution? And if it was easy, everybody would do it. Yeah, exactly. I mean, we can talk all we want. I mean, we're sitting here in a comfortable, well, cool. We're sitting. We're here in a comfortable room and doing what we love to do. And we're talking about all the things we know about skating. But just remember, this is a very, very difficult sport. It's extraordinary what these young athletes are able to do at their stage and age now compared to past decades. But they cannot be all learned at once. And so it takes time. Miss Katarina waits for the free program score. And here it is. It's a 87.21. That is second in the free program with a total competition score of 132.36. That will put her in the second place overall at the moment. Let's look at your top five skaters so far.
