Everything else is up in the air.
Oh, so they're going to train in Beijing?Shi Shang/Wang Xinkang pairing has been announced by Beijing Century Star Club
As I commented in the ISU Allotments thread - that's one way for China to regain some of the JGP spots it lost due to not competing at Jr Worlds this year.ISU Communication No. 2634 Decisions of the Council (May 13, 2024): https://www.isu.org/inside-isu/isu-communications/communications/33778-isu-communication-2634/file
2025 Europeans location now TBD (Croatia can't host); JGP #1 in France has been moved to become #7 in Wuxi, China; Grenoble confirmed as new city of GPF/JGPF in December 2024.

Given that the new generation of Chinese junior girls is so crowded and competitive (and also losing spots and quotas because of the stupid political reason for not sending any delegates to WJC this year), good to see CFSA's positive move so more girls can have more chances to compete. Team China might be able to compete in JGPF with this batch of girls.As I commented in the ISU Allotments thread - that's one way for China to regain some of the JGP spots it lost due to not competing at Jr Worlds this year.
Not just the girls but also the ice dancers - there are a couple of those junior teams we should be keeping an eye on, I think. Same goes for their junior men.Given that the new generation of Chinese junior girls is so crowded and competitive (and also losing spots and quotas because of the stupid political reason for not sending any delegates to WJC this year), good to see CFSA's positive move so more girls can have more chances to compete.

I'm going to be a bit of a damper and say that none of the juniors will be medaling. But I'm happy about them getting a shot.
Because they're not competing at this event?Why do you think their pairs cannot medal?
He's not junior eligible. He's 20 this September.Chen yudong may have a shot at medals for the men's event
Maybe? It will depend on the other fields (Korean/Japanese/American). I do like Tian, so would be happy if he does medal, but need to see him going for at least a 3A at this stage. I think that's in general my opinion on Chinese men, and maybe also the women. The jumps need to be better, because PCS is largely rep based and takes time to grow.Well, Tian Tonghe and Wang Yihan were so close to the podium last season, especially Wang Yihan (with a very tiny margin). With Jin Shuxian and Gao Shiqi, good technicians who consistently land difficult layouts internationally and domestically, they certainly have a chance to get to the podium in JGP.

And all of the missed opportunities for competition are preventing his rep from improving. His programs last year also weren't ideal, very jump focused, but he has so much potential to be an expressive skater.I do like Tian, so would be happy if he does medal, but need to see him going for at least a 3A at this stage.

Well he needs to be consistently "up there" in terms of rankings, too, which is where having a 3A will help. He already beat Yudong at junior nationals, he clearly has huge potential. He needs to get that 3A, which I'm not even sure he's training.And all of the missed opportunities for competition are preventing his rep from improving.

No official announcement, but I'm fairly certain they've split. Neither appear to be continuing pursuing pairs at the moment. They downgraded their tech content for nats due to Zhiyu's shoulder injury and completely skipped NWG. Zhiyu posted a cryptic post on weibo (that was swiftly deleted) around NWG alluding that he was prevented from taking part in NWG against his own will (and not because he was injured). Keep in mind that Shi/Wang are a Jilin/Heilongjiang collab team, so you know...what ever happened to SHI Wenning / WANG Zhiyu. they medalled in austria but then bombed nats and NWG.
I should probably add that I do think Zhiyu is a very solid pairs boy despite being on the shorter side. I would love it if he could find a suitable partner and make a comeback. It was a crime that he was split from his original partner Zhang Jiaxuan so that Jiaxuan could partner with that obnoxious baby that is Huang Yihang.Anyways, I don't think they're a huge loss to the Chinese junior pairs scene.

This is actually not supposed to be insulting, to be fair, it's just supposed to be about her hair. But you know. Hilarity ensues anyway, and I can't say it hasn't made me snort.Noodle Sister
