The 2019 World Junior Figure Skating Championships concluded with the Ladies event on Saturday in which Russia’s Alexandra Trusova defended her title. Teammate Anna Shcherbakova took the silver in her debut in this event, while USA’s Ting Cui pocketed the bronze, improving from a seventh-place finish last year. Trusova fell on her opening quad Lutz attempt, but quickly recovered to land a quad toe-triple toe and a solo quad toe in her technically-packed and dynamic routine to selections of music by Tomoyasu Hotei and The Fifth Element soundtrack. The 2018-19 Junior Grand Prix Final silver medalist also landed five triple jumps, but received an edge call on a the flip. She was awarded level 4 on all spins and footwork to earn a new season’s best of 150.40 for first place in the free skate and overall (222.89). “I am happy with my performance today, but I obviously need to work on my quads, triples, spins and skating skills,” said the two-time Russian junior national champion. “It was different winning the second time, but I can’t really tell if it is easier or not.” “I already talked to Eteri Georgievna and she congratulated me and pointed out the mistakes that I made,” she said of her conversation with her coach Eteri Tutberidze.

USA’s Tomoki Hiwatashi has been competing on the international Junior circuit since fall 2015 and has had some ups and downs. However, the 19-year-old ended his junior career on the highest possible note by taking the title at the ISU World Junior Figure Skating Championships 2019 in Zagreb, Croatia. Tomoki competed at the ISU World Junior Figure Skating Championships three times, claiming the bronze in his debut in 2016 and finishing fifth in 2018. “To be honest, since 2016 until 2018, I don't think there was much improvement in myself. There was minor improvement, skating skills maybe, maybe spins, maybe footwork. But there wasn't many big improvements that I've gotten, unfortunately. I think that is what was keeping me from getting results,” he noted. In the 2016/17 and 2017/18 season the American did not qualify for the ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final, but in this season he did. He also debuted at the ISU Four Continents Figure Skating Championships, finishing a respectable eighth. “I feel like I was able to get my level to the point where I was at 2016 or even better right now. I think that's what has gotten me up here right now,” he pointed out. Hiwatashi feels that his improvement comes from being stronger mentally and working on his technique.

Ting Cui, 16, is back home in Maryland after a recent trip to Croatia, where she earned a bronze medal in the World Junior Figure Skating Championships. "I was really excited," Ting said. "I was so excited to be able to medal, because it was the first time in six years I think that the U.S. last had a lady’s medal at the Junior Worlds." Now Ting has her sights set on something bigger: the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
