AHA - yes, I have one particularly to block the ads on DailymotionNot sure if you're running an ad blocker, but I had to turn mine off to see the page.
I had to check who Profaizer is.Initial thoughts -
Men - finally, Italian men!!! But what's up with Zich?
Yes - Nalbone and Zich for Gdansk, then Zich for Yerevan? That would make the most sense, presuming Zich isn't injured.How many spots left for Italian men? 3 (2 in Gdansk and 1 in Yerevan)?
Looks like Kovar is unconfirmed (placeholder) https://usfigureskatingfanzone.com/...24-international-assignments-and-results.aspxNice to see Kai Kovar get a 2nd JGP, but I better see Jacob Sanchez getting a 2nd one too, USFS!
Initial thoughts -
Women - what does Lulu Lin have to do to earn a JGP assignment, Skate Canada?! Where is Vivian Papp, Hungary?! Interesting, USFS, giving Soho Lee an assignment... Oh, and FINALLY Inga Gurgenidze makes her JGP season debut! Same goes for Anna Pezzetta! Very deep field overall.
It's odd... She was originally listed on the alternates list for Linz, but wasn't included as an alternate for Istanbul or Osaka and also isn't for Budapest. I know that she missed the Hungarian test skates earlier this month. I don't know if there's an undisclosed injury issue or if the country switch is back on...Yeah, I’ve been waiting for Vivian Papp, too. She’s still Hungarian; no switching of countries.![]()
There is a link to the time schedule on each of the JGP entries pages on the ISU website and streaming can be found here - ISU Junior Grand Prix - YouTubeAny link to a schedule for streaming?
It does seem like absolute madness with two of the top teams from last season competing against each other in both of their JGPs. You'd think eventually either the USFS or FFSG would blink and put their #1 team in Budapest, since that's a pretty wide-open field.Oh I know competing in Japan is a great experience, but I really hope the french federation be strategic and put Celina FRADJI / Jean-Hans FOURNEAUX in Budapest. They will probably have a clear win here instead of competing with Leah NESET / Artem MARKELOV in both JGPs…
Absolutely!Because of Artem’s passport problem,I assume it is not easy for NM to go to Europe. So I‘m figure-crossed for FF here. Really hope to see an VDL team in JGPF!It does seem like absolute madness with two of the top teams from last season competing against each other in both of their JGPs.

Actually, Hungary would be one of the few European countries that I think Artem would be able to travel to, but it is far easier to send NesMark to Bangkok and Osaka and not have to worry at all about his passport/visa challenges.Absolutely!Because of Artem’s passport problem,I assume it is not easy for NM to go to Europe.

Kravets/Stark are a YOG-eligible teamInteresting choice by Skate Canada... then again, see my comment about Lulu Lin when it comes to Interesting choices by that fed, lol.
Thanks. I’m now watching it on demand on the ISU YouTube channel.There is a link to the time schedule on each of the JGP entries pages on the ISU website and streaming can be found here - ISU Junior Grand Prix - YouTube
FYI (for those who don't have access to the JGP subforum in the Kiss & Cry section), there were livestreaming problems in Bangkok for the first JGP (hardware issues, I heard) so the event replay videos are NOT all complete. The ISU has started to upload individual videos from the competition today, starting with the Rhythm Dance (11 of the 12 videos - missing CHN's -- are in the RD playlist at the moment, including Neset/Markelov's, which is missing from the RD stream).I’m now watching it on demand on the ISU YouTube channel.
Someone else mentioned that formly Canadian team Batkova/Yang (now Czechia) has Alexandra and Mitch listed as their choreographer for their Free Dance. So I assume it was one of the last programs they did together. I'm sure the programs will hold a special meaning to all of them now.I posted this one Alex Paul’s forum but thought I should put it here too….
Sabatini-Speciale/Buelow have updated their ISU bio to include Alex as a choreographer
On USFS' international assignment page, Flores/Wang and Williams/Lewer-Parr have been swapped between JGP Turkey (next week) and JGP Hungary. I imagine this is a strategic move by USFS to try to ensure that both teams make JGPF. JGP Hungary has by far the deepest pairs field of the 4 competitions.
JGP Linz gold medalists Martina Ariano Kent/Charly Laliberté's 2nd JGP is listed as the 3rd JGP in Budapest.Definitely a good strategic move by the USFS! Williams/Lewer are, by far, the stronger of the two teams right now and I'd rather see them fighting it out with Metelkina/Berulava, Sierova/Khobta and Ariano Kent/Laliberte Laurent for a medal. Next week has Metelkina/Berulava and Desrochers/Thrasher, plus no Chinese teams.
Totally agreed. They need this gold medal!Honestly, after today - if I was the FFSG, I'd be swapping Fradji/Forneaux in Osaka with Maliqueo-Repoux/Synelnikov in Yerevan - they would be a heavy favorite for gold there, since it seems like the only top team also assigned there are the Peals.
It is based on Junior Worlds 2023 results.Did we discuss somewhere, I`m sure we did, why US sent only 1 single skater per discipline for JGP? But where? Seems to limit possibility of a final entry.
