Yes and she was fourth at the NextGen competition, which seems to be the primary criteria being used to give out assignments. Seems likely. Will be curious to see is any new subs are listed when the ISU entries are udpated.
Right, the Japanese athletes were out last year, and the Russians are out this year so it's pretty much a wash as far as the depth in the ladies field.
Tom Wehrle, who was the director of the JGP broadcasts from 2014-2021, posted this really cool time lapse video celebrating his experiences over the years traveling to the JGP events.

Tom's the bald guy standing in the back of my 2019 Lake Placid JGP photoI know I’m biased, but from what I’ve seen so far, the production quality has taken a hit. But to answer your questions, I don’t know the actual reason why…no one at the ISU has ever said a word to me about any of it. I was just informed in mid June they choose someone else. And no, I don’t know who it was. One of my thoughts when making this, after looking at all the pics/vids over the years was that for someone else taking my job, this is there 2014…hopefully they make the most of it

It will be great to those of Canada's Nextgen Juniors who are going to be on the JGP for the first time! So many young, but talented skaters!
Thank you!!Welcome to FSU! Here's their team page on Instagram
Yes, this field at Poland 1 gives them a strong chance for a win, which should qualify them for the JGPF.

For those without Instagram,Congratulations to ALL of the skaters and their teams competing here.
A major accomplishment to compete in any @isufigureskating competition - huge respect to the skaters getting to experience the pride of representing their country on this international stage.
Swipe to see how passionately I feel we should support all of these athletes.
No time for keyboard warriors and I urge those who thought it fitting to post negativity towards any of the athletes to seriously reconsider spreading bad vibes!🕊

In reply to a comment/question on his Instagram post he indicates that he will be doing "some of" the Senior GPsMark Hanretty's post today: https://www.instagram.com/p/CiE6JRmqTN-/
For those without Instagram,it looks likeMark used (in his Instagram post) this clip of his commentary that a fan made (he also re-tweeted it): https://twitter.com/tegomass/status/1566099219768901632
ETA that Mark replied in the comments and the original person who tweeted the clip also thanked him:
"Thank you so much for putting out that message!!! and thank you so much for dedicating some time on researching some of these junior skaters prior to the event
USFS' International Assignments page has been updated and Soho Lee, Yampolsky, Baram/Tioumentsev, Carhart/Horovyi & Peal/Peal are confirmed for these 2nd assignments in Gdansk #2.
No, there's only been 7 pairs teams until a couple weeks ago when it dropped to 6.
Maybe due to having won the U.S. Junior Cup in Milwaukee in July? Michael Xie won the FS and placed 2nd in Milwaukee and he has a 2nd assignment now.
As many of us hoped, Lucas Broussard has been added to the Gdansk 1 JGP (replacing placeholder Lucius Kazanecki)
Unfortunately Will Annis has withdrawn from Yerevan and has been replaced by Joseph Klein.
for Broussard (eta that his Gdansk selection is now confirmed on USFS' Assignments page). Hopefully Annis can get one of the later JGPs if he's healthy. This will be Klein's 2nd JGP... he debuted in Lake Placid in 2019 (with Malinin & Dunk).It makes sense to get one assignment from doing well at the U.S. Junior Cup. But getting two from there seems to imply that doing better nationally is more important than doing better internationally, which is backwards IMO.
For some reason, Annis' name is still listed for JGP #4 in Armenia and Klein's name has not replaced him on USFS' Assignments page even though the change was made in the ISU entries earlier today (Sept. 7): https://results.isu.org/events/jgparm2022_JuniorMen.htm
