Joshua Farris (USA), 1st after the short program:
"I made several short programs cleaned in season so I was aware of my ability in this test. This morning, after warming up, I tried that my muscle memory take over. So I went on autopilot, despite some problems sull'Axel these days that are then able to complete no particular worries. For me to be chosen for the World Junior from my country is a great honor that I repay the efforts made in recent months. "
When asked about the prospects at the senior level for the next season stated: "it depends on how I want to. I'm thinking of a project Seniors for 2014, but I still too many unknowns to tell you the final decision. Much will depend on the possibility that the ISU grant me the possible participation at the stages of the Grand Prix, but if you will opt to go to class because I'll be sure to be at high levels. "
Shotaro Omori (USA), 2nd after the short program:
"I am very surprised and honored to be in the top three because my staff was not very high. I think Josh and Jason are definitely the most complete and competitive skaters me on the long program, but never say never. I'm not really sure what I'll do next season, I have not yet spoken with my coach, but I think that 60% will stay in the Junior Grand Prix for another season. My parents are both Japanese and I learned a lot from Japanese culture in the workplace. I speak the language pretty well, especially at home with my parents, but often leaves a mixture of Japanese and English. "
Jason Brown (USA), 3rd after the short program:
"It 'sa shame to have stained my performance with the error in the combination. I felt good, but maybe I was too close to the railing and I found that I ruined the ice has hampered the landing of Lutz. In fact I do not know what happened exactly, but I can not change it. After what has happened I tried to move forward in the best possible way and I think I succeeded. '' I was very excited for the opening and Axel that usually causes me many problems and certainly calmed me for the rest of the program. We hope to remain in these positions even after the free program. For me, nothing will change nothing like approach, but we've made some minor changes to the program we have tried a lot here in Milan. It is a program more difficult and ambitious but I am confident of being able to perform at their best. I hope to compete in the major circuit next year. We hope that the U.S. Figure Skating will take me up, but if I had to do one more season in the Junior would not be a problem. "

La detentrice della Coppa del Mondo di gigante, che proprio dall'opening sul Rettenbach ha iniziato a costruire lo scorso anno quel trionfo, ha diviso a metà il lavoro tra focus sulla sua disciplina a Ushuaia e poi velocità sulle nevi cilene pensando al super-g. Rifinitura a Pitztal e poi direttamente a Soelden, il set-up finale lo definiremo in quel momento.
