Long Program for Junior Ladies and Men’s Free Skating will take place on Thursday. It will be a night to remember to see what flags will be flown. In Junior Ladies there are only four points separating the current 3rd through 6th place standings. It is all going to come down to the Long Programs in both of these events to see what skaters will achieve their dreams of stepping on to the podium.
Not only are the medals at stake in Argentina. This is the first World Championship where skaters will earn points to set off the rankings for next season. With this important turning point the competitors in Junior and Senior Free Skating, Pairs, Couples Dance and Solo Dance will be awarded points which will lead to the Artistic Skating Series 2023 culminating in the World Cup Final.
