Farrell 32nd At Solidarity Cup

Julianna Farrell (18) has finished in 32nd place in the women’s event at the ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Solidarity Cup in Gdansk, Poland earlier today.

The Irish Junior Women’s champion got her first Junior Grand Prix event off to a start yesterday in the Short Programme. The beginning of her routine proved to be challenging with falls on a triple Lutz combination and a solo triple loop. She regained her composure following those errors to produce a Level 3 camel spin, a double Axel and a Level two step sequence. She garnered Level 4 for both a change foot combination spin and a flying sit spin to close out her short. A season best score of 34.99 points put her in 33rd place overnight.

In contrast to her short, Farrell’s Free Skating got off to a perfect opening as she reeled off a double Axel and a triple Salchow. She next landed a triple loop and then a triple Salchow-double toe loop combination. Unfortunately, she fell on an intended triple loop combination and a triple toe loop. She wrapped up her free with a double Axel-double toe loop-single loop combination, a choreographic sequence, a Level 4 change foot combination spin and a Level 3 flying sit spin. She amassed a free score of 68.98 points giving her a combined total of 103.97 points.

“I had an amazing time and it was such an amazing experience,” Farrell said. “It was so fun to interact with different athletes from different countries. Thank you so much to the ISAI for this opportunity.”
