JGP starts in August. The problem is that a lof can change in the next eight months. Some of the pairs at these nationals were not even skating together eight months ago. Some of the ladies were at the top and now they are considered 'average' in Russian measurements. So all our predictions will be just hopes based on personal preferences.

Based on past seasons I would say that all junior eligible men and ladies who were among TOP 8 at the Russian Junior Championships will be given atleast 1 JGP assignment assuming nothing major happens during summer. All those who will move to seniors are excluded of course. With ice dance I would say that if the team is among TOP 6 they will get atleast one JGP event. With pairs the situation is totally different because we have seen multiple pairs getting JGP events even though they didn't take part to the previous Russian Junior Championships. Some of those pairs probably didn't even exist at that time. Pairs can develop fast which makes prediction more difficult.
