2019/20 Junior Grand Prix pre-season news & discussion thread

[alchemy void]

Yay, Kromykh got an event! Cc: @alchemy void

I'm a little surprised. Fantastic news!

Not sure this is good for Khromykh. I don't think she is ready.

She may not be the best jumper of this batch of Russian juniors, but her musicality and programs are among the best.

Other notes:

• Hey, a North Korean junior pair!
• Patricia Andrew and Zach Daleman get a JGP slot, which is nice.

 

[Jeschke]

Yablokov and Khuda, oh yes
ITA forgot putting Leccardi at all?

How can RUS send 4 pairs?

 

[Colonel Green]

How can RUS send 4 pairs?

I didn't understand that either. Maybe there's a missing S.

 

[ivagall]

How can RUS send 4 pairs?

In pairs at JGP the host nation can have unlimited number of entries.

 

[Jeschke]

In pairs at JGP the host nation can have unlimited number of entries.

So why they only send 4?
Bring them all from the test skates!

 

[danafan]

I thought host picks in pairs was unlimited?

 

[DobrinFan]

I thought host picks in pairs was unlimited?

It is.

 

[oleada]

I’m glad Russia assigned 4 pairs. I’m really happy to see Mukhortova/Evgeniev assigned because I think they have something special even if the lifts and twists are still works in progress.

 

[Stephanie]

I'm surprised Russia would have Gummenik and Danielian compete against each other here

 

[DobrinFan]

I'm surprised Russia would have Gummenik and Danielian compete against each other here

They competed against each other last year in Slovenia. After putting Mozalev and Samsonov in Riga together, nothing surprises me with the RusFed. Unfortunately with Gummenik, being removed from Lake Placid, it was expected.

 

[Colonel Green]

They competed against each other last year in Slovenia.

It should be noted that with Danielian’s injury they didn’t have much choice but to cram him into the final JGPs.

But I’d guess here that they want to maximize their chances of winning at home.

 

[DobrinFan]

It should be noted that with Danielian’s injury they didn’t have much choice but to cram him into the final JGPs.

But I’d guess here that they want to maximize their chances of winning at home.

I know he was injured they still put them at the same GP event together so it's no surprised they would do that here.

With 5 GP events left, it's obvious Gumennik, Danielian, Mozalev, and Samsonov were going to run into each other. If they even get a second event, that's 4 events right there.

S - Substitute Entry

 

[Dobre]

I'm surprised Russia would have Gummenik and Danielian compete against each other here

Along with Adam. That's gonna not be easy.

ISU's annual JGP press release was published today: Skating season kicks off with the ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating 2019/20

 

[Wyliefan]

Have I missed Lucrezia Beccari somewhere? I keep looking for her name but not seeing it. They really need to give her something. She's the Italian silver medalist, for crying out loud!

Maybe she's injured?

 

[Sylvia]

Have I missed Lucrezia Beccari somewhere?

I checked Beccari's IG and she recently spent 2 weeks training in Moscow (CKSA club/rink): https://www.instagram.com/p/B0-m34YJ2PG/

Both she and Daniel Grassl have yet to be assigned so they must be doing POL or CRO and home JGP #7.

We know for sure Grassl will be assigned, so I agree they must be planning to assign them later/closer.

 

[Colonel Green]

It's kind of an odd choice to be intentionally putting their competitions close together. Generally skaters like more time between.

Granted, Beccari isn't a strong medal prospect regardless, but Grassl certainly is (indeed, he's by far Italy's best hope for representation in their home GPF).

Thank you both. I love that FSUers are so knowledgeable!

Does she really thinks that the cobble stones on Red Square have any less pigeon poop and filthy cigarette butts than Bergamo's Piazza Vecchia....?

Grassl is the Italian National Champ...like, he beat Rizzo at Natls & skated great at Euros but Italy had only one spot for Worlds. Love them both - so different. I hope that both can make it to the next Sr Worlds.

 

[oleada]

Mukhortova/Evgeniev were replaced in Russia by Julia Artemieva/Mikhail Nazarichev and Kostiukovich/Ialin were replaced by Akhanteva/Kolesov.

I hope it’s just that Kostiukovich/Ialin need more time to be ready and not something more serious.

 

[hanca]

I really wanted Mukhortova/Evgeniev to have a chance. I know it is quite early in their partnership, but I really enjoy watching this pair.

They cannot be injured. They just can't.

 

[Tinami Amori]

They cannot be injured. They just can't.

М/E maybe feeling "not ready". After their Test Skate in an interview they repeated many times "we still need to work on developing/expanding the understanding of the programmes", and "we're still working on tech content, making it more stable and more difficult. we have a way to go".
