So a few countries benefit from others not using all their spots. USA and KOR in ladies (KAZ had 2 but used one, ARM and FIN have 1 entry in 6 events and neither are entered here), RUS in men (CHN isn't entered at all despite earning 2...actually, they're just not entered in any discipline), and CAN in Dance (POL had 1 spot in each event but isn't entered here)

The first official international competition for Polina Tsurskaya. Based on the field she should win easily. But what she will show in Slovakia will be an indication for her potential at JGPF and JW. I am quite excited to see her.

^ So am I! Who's the other girl with her? I'm also interesting in seeing how America, Japan, and Korea do in ladies...

She was 9th at the last Russian junior nationals with 157. Tsurskaya won there with 194 so that it was a big gap between them. Her season's best was 161.

She is definitely not a "JGPF material" yet but if she has good days she will fight for the podium in Bratislava. She had a strong SP with clean 3T-3T and 3Lz. She has all triples and also 2A-3T and 2A-1L-3S. Her major area for development are spins and step sequence. If she improves them, and may be changes to 3F-3T in SP she has all the makings to show 165 - 170 next season with clean skates.

She actually did 3T-3T in her programs last year... [edit]whoops, I forgot to refresh the page before this reply[/edit] Mitrofanova also only did 3T-3T in her SPs last year. That being said, with the restrictive and unforgiving rules[1] for Jr SPs(one required combo which you can't make up if you mess up because there's one required solo jump) and the increased BV for 3T it makes a lot of sense to do the no jumps or just the 2A in the first half and then do all the jumps or the solo jump and a 3T-3T in the 2nd half.

Mitrofanova did do 3Lz+3T as part of of the elements section of this competition though...

BTW, I think there's a competition in early august where skaters are chosen for the Jr Grand Prix... so going from last season's results I think there's a very good chance hat Mitrofanova rather than Mikhaylova will be going to the event.

[1] IMO, I think they should change the junior rules to require 2 different jumps and allow the skater to choose to do them solo or in combination... and Jr's should be allowed a non-scoring 1Lo in the SP combo. The current rules are too harsh as it's not possible to come back from a botched combo.

There are ladies entries for Kirguiztan and Moldova!! Great to see new countries entering the skating world.

What about the American girls? They're pretty unknown, too :scratch:

Emily Chan won the US Novice championship last year. She is very expressive and delightful but she really needs to up her jump content if she is ever going to be competitive internationally.

Vivian Le won US Novice championship in 2014 and the Junior bronze last year. She just won the jump competition at Broadmoor. I'm really hopeful for her success on the JGP this year. Here is her SP from a spring club competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YNUJyjYQPI

Isn't Emily like almost 18 already? I can't see her going much further then she already has if she is already lagging behind girls who are 4 years younger then her when it comes to jumps. She's much more mature but that won't matter much against 13 year old's who can do 3-3's.

michailova and Mitrofanova are probably very close to each other in skills. Michailova beat Mitrofanova at Russian junior nationals, which may be the reason why she was chosen before her. Michailova has 2A-3T and 2A-Lo-3S, so that can make up for not having the harder triple triple combos. She still manages seven triples program.

Yes, while I really like Emily's qualities, she was 17 at Nationals this year... so I wonder. I hope she'll be able to make progress.

She also skated novice pairs at Nationals last year... wonder if she'd try to go for that.

She has great jumps, especially the lutz. However, she really needs to stabilize and control them.

Loboda/Drozd VS Parsons. Hmmm... lovely Can't wait.

Considering the US hasn't been as successful with ladies recently, it makes sense to give her a chance. Especially if it's likely that they'll have 2 spots in multiple events (possibly all, since they're in the first spot to get any spots not used). They might as well use them for developmental purposes, like CAN did last year even when most of their ladies weren't that high a level. Gives them the experience. Maybe she's a late bloomer!

Her pairs partner from last year is apparently competing with a different girl this year according to Sylvia's Unseen Skaters site. Wonder if she'd take it up with a new partner, but I can see her focusing on singles.

Last season, somehow the Parsons and McNamara/Carpenter got cleverly pushed down in their events so they didn't make the final even though their total scores were higher than many teams that did make it. Funny, but those politics couldn't keep Lorraine and Quinn off the podium at JW, or Rachel and Michael out of the top 4. Of the teams that beat them in the JGP: Popova/Vlasenko finished 11th at JW, Evkokimova Bazin, 10th, and Loboda/Drozd didn't even get to go to JW.

Apparently the JGPF means more than JW---at least to some federations.....

Popova/Vlasenko bombed at Worlds (can happen with anyone) and Loboda/Drozd skipped an element in their FD at Nationals, so they were only 4th (while they were 2nd behind only Y/M after SD). The Federation sent E/B instead of them, and one of the reasons was that E/B had their last chance to compete at JWorlds. So it all make some sense in my opinion.
And I disagree that M/C and especially Parsons were deliberately pushed down. But maybe it's just me...

Edit: my bets are on L/D in this competition. Of course if their dances are decent enough.

Since E/B are competing again in the JGP this year, they will have another shot at JW---so last year wasn't their last chance....

BTW, both Parsons and McNamara/Carpenter had higher total scores than Loboda/Drozd even though they didn't make the final. They also outscored Edwards/Pang and Morozova/Zhirnov.

Hmmm.. yes, it seems you're right. I'm sorry, my mistake. I thought they were going seniors for some reason. Well, I don't know them very well Still they were 3rd at Nationals. Miraculously
About scores:
I don't think I should explain to you knowing your experience how judging system works, especially when junior level of competition is concerned. Judging at different JP events is different. Sometimes tech panel is very strict, sometimes it's not, sometimes it forgives some teams their mistakes etc. Just look at the scores at first and last JGP events of last season. There was huge difference in scores between these events. Zagreb's scores were extremely inflated where Parsons are concerned (I'm not the only one who thinks so, just check the thread), because there was still a slight chance to have them at Finals. Some teams, on the other hand, were held down there. It's just an example.
So it doesn't matter who outscored who between events. I'll give them credit for JWorlds of course. And overall they improved a ton within one season.

They had BOTH gone to JGPF the previous season and McNamara/Carpenter won JGPF bronze, then were 4th at JW 2014. It looked VERY odd that they were both held down to 3rd at their first events to ensure that they couldn't make the final.
