Farrell 18th At Cranberry Cup

In her competition debut representing Ireland, Julianna Farrell has finished 18th in the Junior Women’s event at the Cranberry Cup International in Norwood, United States of America.

The 2025 Irish Junior champion had a rocky start to her short programme when she fell on a planned triple Salchow combination and popped the proscribed loop jump into a single. She settled herself with a Level 4 flying sit spin and a nice double Axel and closed out with a Level 2 camel spin, a Level 1 step sequence and a Level 2 change combination spin. A score of 28.74 points had her in 21st place overnight.

Farrell skated in Warm-Up Group 1 of the free skating the following date and opened with a double Axek and a triple Salchow. The loop jump proved to be her nemesis again with a single on her first attempt and a fall on a triple. Aside from that, she had a much improved performance from her short with two clean jump combinations – a triple Salchow-double toe loop and a double Axel-double toe loop-double loop. She received Level 3 for a camel spin and Level 4 for both change foot combination spin and a flying sit spin. She amassed 68.37 points in the free for 17th in the segment and rose to 18th overall in the final standings with a total of 97.11 points.
