Pernille WITH (NOR) | Junior Women Free Skating | Gdansk 2025

Our first skater represents Norway, Pernille Witt. And Pernille coming into the free skate in 28th place after the short program. And this is her final season on the Junior Grand Prix as she skates to the soundtrack from Proud and Prejudice. Mark, I have to say Pernille is a really, really good skater. Beautiful techniques and beautiful sensitivity to the music, some wonderful spins as well, some mistakes in the program, no question. But overall, a very strong skater. Yeah, and good quality jumping. And for me now, Pernille is just ascertaining now moving forward how to get that junior world's minimum tech score. So she has 20, almost 22 points from the short program. So therefore, she would need 50 points in the free skate. She's got 43 currently as we see this double axel. Beautiful. Really good. And this is on a lean on the triple toe, but you know she can do it. She didn't do it, but she can. Here's the triple loop. And that was a beautiful, love a clean, clean jump. Yeah. Mohawk up into the triple salchow, watch the free leg come around, gets that done easily up into the double toe, double loop. Keeps flow. A little bit later, another triple salchow. Really excellent technique, wonderful execution, some good spins as well. Here's the layback or the sit spin, pardon me, at the end of the program. Getting the eight rotations in. Yeah, beautifully centered. Nice position, change of position here. When you take a look at the core, this is another skater I would add to my list. You could do a lot with this skater because she's already been taught so well. The basics are all on a high level. And she now, you know, needing to find probably another 10 points through her highest total technical element score, 66.5. She needs to find, you know, five and a half more points. She's so very, very capable. Just needs to manage to deliver that under the pressure of competition. Free program score for Purnil, 77.95. That is second in the free program. And she really skated clean, that number would have been much higher, 115.20 total competition score. Very nice skater. Few mistakes here tonight. And that'll put her currently into second overall.
