World Junior Figure Skating Championships 2010,The Hague, NL

Been to the Ex Gala yesterday. The venue was nicely filled. I enjoyed many performances. You could tell the juniors were doing their best.

Here's a few pics from the event:

During the break an Asian lady stopped by and asked about the Japanese flag we had with us (me and hubby). I told her it was for the Japanese skaters, like Narumi Takahashi, Kanako Murakami (she nodded in recognition). Then I said:

- And, of course, for Yuzuru Hanyu!

she's like:
-Who?!

Me:
-Hanyu-sensu!
She:
-Sorry...

(Yuzuru hadn't skated yet at that time).

Me and hubby:
- And in a week we're taking this flag to Turin, Worlds, for Daisuke Takahashi.

She:
-Oh, Daisuke Takahashi! Yes! Yes!

I managed to throw a little present for Yuzu-chan onto the ice. I hope he got it.

Thanks so much for the pictures, hsuhs! They're awesome!

It seems like Junior Worlds was great this year! I'm really happy for Yuzuru and Kanako, they were both fantastic. Also, those Russian ice dancers are amazing! I don't even like watching ice dance that much, but that pair blew me away.

Thank you so much for the nice pictures, hsuhs!!

Congratulations to all the medalist!! I'm so glad Japanese skaters won two golds and one silver, even though Japan sent only one skater/pair to each dicipline!! It means we can send three in each dicipline next year.
Yuzuru was really great. Did you see the big 3A? I'm looking forward to seeing him competing in senior GPs next season. Ganbare!
And I'm worried about Denis Ten.... He must have been exhausted. He went to 4CC, Vancouver and Jr. Worlds.... It's a bit insane.

They were fantastic!! I even didn't know their names until this event, though. Russia has super talented girls as well. Elizaveta Tuktamisheva!!
