The ISU Junior Grand Prix Final Champions earned 63.78 points, improving their seasons best by 2.04 points. “It was a good performance today, but obviously we would have liked to get a level four for all elements”, Zhiganshin said. “It's our first Junior Worlds and I felt nervous, but I tried not to think about this. We just want to skate clean”, Sinitsina added.
Stepanova/Bukin's dance to the “Caramelio” Cha Cha and “La Collegiala” Samba was highlighted by two level-four Cha Cha patterns, fast twizzles and a rotational lift. The Muscovites scored 62.68 points. “Today I didn't feel so confident, but overall we are happy with our performance”, Stepanova told the press. “For us, it's also our first Junior Worlds and we were nervous because of that but we tried to skate as we do in practice”, she continued.
Yanovskaya/Mozgov turned in a strong performance to Cha Cha and Samba as well and got a level four for the twizzles and the rotational lift to collect 58.89 points. “I think our skate today was a little dirty, not perfect, but overall it wasn't bad. The emotional part of the performance comes easier to us than the technical part”, Mozgov explained.
