I have a question: do they need to get TES minimum for Europeans in senior competition or their junior scores count?
Junior scores doesn't count.
There will be three Challengers. Zagreb is too late, but they can participate in Warsaw or Tallinn. So it's not a big deal for them to make a TES minimum.
Anna and Martin won their first gold medal among seniors in Nice! Their programs were quite messy to be honest but they did get the TES minimums they need for Europeans. Congratulations!

I think we are forgetting how young they are. Martin is not even 18 yet and they have 2 more years of juniors left. I'm hoping they can qualify for the Olympics.
I heard she was going through puberty? Anyways I'm just glad they are still hanging in there and haven't suffered the same fate as Ohanesian/Bardei who fell off the face of the planet dealing with injuries and puberty. Hopefully Martin can still grow (he's only 17?!) because he'll need that height as his twist was not the most stable to begin with and now it is starting to fall apart. Speaking of height and strength, their lifts were always unstable, so Martin needs to be a tank like Han Cong is to Sui for Duskova to rely on. Work on those SBS and throws; their consistency seems OK but OK isn't enough, they need to nail it every time. GORGEOUS skating skills, so once they get their mojo back together and start skating as consistent as they were last year a JW repeat isn't out of the question, not to mention they can be serious rivals at Europeans! Looking forward to seeing them at Europeans!
