" Tetiana BIELODONOVA / Ivan KACHUR (UKR) | Junior Ice Dance Free Dance | Riga 2025"

14-year-old Tatyana Bieladonova and 18-year-old Ivan Kucherov. Aggressively skating onto the ice, powerfully pushing towards their presentation as they now assume their start position for the music to Survivor. And avenges for Endgame. Such an amazing contrast in the performances of these free dances as Tatyana Bieladonova and Ivan Kucherov complete their Survivor free dance. We've seen the ballad in classical, we've seen ballroom-esque stylization from the British team that have just performed. This stark, stark contrast. There were some incredibly complex transitions and difficult features on the exits and entries to some of the elements. I think it just started to fatigue and get a little bit scrappy laterally in the program. So we'll see how that impacts the scores. So much difficulty and complexity. And you can extract in this ice dance competition highlight moves from each of the teams. And there were moments within Tatyana and Ivan's program that were quite brilliant. This difficult opening. And here, difficult entry into the twizzles as well. But in terms of clarity, just not totally aligned in their body movement or in their relationship and distance between each other. This, again, so difficult. Difficult entry into the upside-down and difficult hold within the straight-line lift. Here, good shot from Ivan within the step sequence. Again, the technical panel looking to see how many of these difficult turns are callable. Here, the choreographic character step sequence. Good to see. Looking a little less refined at that stage in the program. And a great save from Ivan there. And avoiding a mandatory one-point deduction for a fall as he helped Tatyana to stay afloat. So it's a Junior Grand Prix debut for Tatyana and Ivan. It's great to see them shaping her. So glad to be here. So proud to represent the country. She's just 14 years old. Oh, yeah. It's amazing. The score is 75.48. It is fifth in the Freedance with a total competition score of 126.51. And that will put them currently into third place. With five teams to come.
