The Baku and Gdansk announcements are up on the ISU website. The US men picked up an extra spot for both. Thank you New Zealand

Well, actually, thank you Germany & Estonia for passing on the extra spots. It won't surprise me if the US Men pick up an extra spot in Abu Dhabi once that event announcement is posted.

JGP Baku announcement - https://isu-d8g8b4b7ece7aphs.a03.az...ZE2025-Announcement-final-1752572705-1562.pdf

JGP Gdansk announcement - https://isu-d8g8b4b7ece7aphs.a03.az...POL2025-Announcement-final-1752586001-174.pdf

So, far, additional spots picked up -
Men - USA 2 (Ankara, Varese, Baku & Gdansk)
Women & Pairs - none
Dance - Ukraine 2 (Riga & Ankara), France 3 (Riga, Ankara & Bangkok), Canada 2 (Ankara & Bangkok)

For Abu Dhabi -
Men - doubtful that any spots will be reallocated - Slovakia is holding on to all of theirs and, obviously, neither Japan nor Korea are going to relinquish any spots this far out.
Women - no spots will be relinquished
Dance - we know Canada didn't pick up any extra spots - next in line, should Italy or Germany relinquish spots would be Ukraine & France - seems possible given the depleted Italian jr ice dance field.

Hello,

Chile has assigned Maria Ignacia Castro Brito as their lone JGP entrant - competing at JGP Gdansk. It does not appear they will use their 2nd spot for the women at JGP Riga or any of their spots in the other disciplines.

I think Chile will not be taking the women's spot for Riga.
Who will benefit from it?

No one. The only spots that are reallocated are the ones from Groups A-C in the general JGP Announcement.

Group A - member federations ranked 1-3 at Jr Worlds (JPN, KOR & USA) - 2 spots in each JGP = 14 spots for each member
Group B - member federations ranked 4-6 at Jr Worlds (FRA, GEO, EST) - 1 spot in each JGP = 7 spots for each member
Group C - member federations ranked 7-10 at Jr Worlds (SUI, AUS, FIN, CHN) - 1 spot in 6 JGPs = 6 spots for each member

None of those countries are relinquishing any of their spots.

Okay, thanks!

Skate Mariposa on Instagram has announced that Canadian dance team Summer Homick and Nicholas Buelow have been assigned to JGP #3 in Varese, Italy. With the Next Gen comp this weekend, I imagine more Canadian assignments will be out shortly as well.
