And, on top of the cast, 4 broken ribs, an injured lung, and pneumonia.

Beginnings of the season just are not for them. It's good they have later GPs.

not pneumonia. A pneumothorax, which is a collapsed lung. Wishing him a speedy recovery, sounds like it was a rough ride.

Whee! Junior debuts.

Re: T/K and L/S at CannonTexas Open,I heard they did pretty well

I think they probably both did well for a junior debut. Pretty certain that Tkachenko & Kiliakov will be added to the ISP. They medaled behind Nguyen & Kolesnik and Wolfkostin & Zhao and also scored higher than the marks that I assume put Ales & Tsarik onto the ISP after Nationals. Also three points higher than the Browns' scores from Chesapeake. So, yeah, that's a good start in the U.S. junior field.

Now, why Rachmaninov 2 for Nguyen & Kolesnik?

(I do believe she can skate to anything and that powerful classical music is probably a good stretch for them at this point; but of this particular piece of powerful classical music, I have had enough).

 

[Katesk8sgr8s]

Replying to myself lol in case anyone is interested: my friend told me the junior entries for Texas Cannon Open. Still don’t know senior.

Wish I could watch! Some new teams competing.

Igor has never met a warhorse he didn't like?

 

[chameleonster]

Where was it confirmed that N/K are skating to Rach 2?

They skated to it at the Cannon Texas Open. There are reports in the club comp thread in the Kiss & Cry section.

Because Shpilband is a complete and total hack? This team won't have a style other than "Chock 2.0 with Sexy Bates".

Hey, Marie-France has already managed to make Classic Bates somewhat sexy!

Shpilband & Camerlengo together have been producing much more interesting choreography (in my opinion). N/K are not the only junior team skating to common music this year.

When do the JGP entries come out? I'm dying to see Nguyen/Kolesnik at Lake Placid and wondering if any of the Russian teams I like will show up.

For Lake Placid, preliminary roster comes out in 2 weeks.

The initial rosters come out a month beforehand; we should get Courchevel by this time next week.

The Russians will obviously fill their quota for Lake Placid, but I wouldn’t count on any of the bigger names. RusFed won’t waste them on an event they won’t win.

 

[Ka3sha]

I think Davis/Smolkin will most likely be at Lake Placid since they moved to Shpilband this off-season.

I was thinking that too at first, but they’re one of only a handful of medalist teams left from last season, only a few of which in turn are Russian — seems to me like they’d want to go for gold, not silver.

 

[Dobre]

Golubtsova & Belobrov are scheduled for Riga & Zagreb.

Other Ukrainian assignments are listed here but I'm not familiar with the names so wary of Google translate and not sure which teams are pairs vs. dance:
https://ufsf.com.ua/novyny/22-novyn...st-v-shesti-etapakh-yuniorskogo-gran-pri.html


Russia sent Shpilevaya & Smirnov up against Lajoie & Lagha last year and Skoptcova & Aleshin up against Carreira & Ponomarenko the year before as well. I don't think they will mind sending up a high-ranked team against Nguyen & Kolesnik. But I don't think they will do it in North America. Davis & Smolkin were only 9th at Russian Junior Nationals last year. Bunch of teams have gotten out, but still, D&S could easily be assigned to Lake Placid. Maybe 4 junior teams remain above them from Nationals?

Russians would not win because it is in US or N/K are unbeatable?

 

[Colonel Green]

Russia sent Shpilevaya & Smirnov up against Lajoie & Lagha last year and Skoptcova & Aleshin up against Carreira & Ponomarenko the year before as well.

I wasn’t suggesting they avoid direct confrontations, but they do tend to avoid doing so on the other party’s home turf, e.g., JGP Richmond last year in dance.

Combination of them being a top team and at a home event.

 

[Dobre]

Just realized that Popova & Byelikov are not on the Ukrainian list above. Unless Google Translate is very off. (Possibly moving up to seniors for the whole season? They've done both juniors & seniors the last two years). That takes another JGP medal-winning team out of the junior field for the JGP season.

Shanayeva/Narizhny may potentially compete with N/K besides Ushakova/Nekrasov

Don't think Russia will send Shanaeva & Narizhnyy to Lake Placid either. They are the likely team to take the bullet elsewhere but, unlike the top #2 teams Russia sent out against North America's #1 the past couple seasons, not much experience. No Junior Worlds or JGPF qualifications yet. Russia might opt to watch their six there because they probably want S&N in the Final. Providing S&N look like #2 heading out of Russian test skates, it would be possible for them to get at least 1 event without Ushakova & Nekrasov, Nguyen & Kolesnik, and Kazakova & Reviya.

Courchevel is up first. Last couple years the first event has been the one free for the taking without the big names. I'd assume Demougeot & Le Mercier will be there. (Starting to think there's a good chance Wolfkostin & Chen might go too).

All kinds of room on the JGP this season. We should get some surprises.

Igor can (if he decides so) make Davis/Smolkin very capable of beating N/K and W/C very quickly. I am not sure if he will be willing to do so though.

When do the JGP entries come out?

Initial entries and subs published on the ISU website will be posted in the JGP news thread in GSD (currently open for discussion until the start of the competition season):

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

Before the JGP season actually gets underway in late August (and individual competition threads are started in the 2019-20 Kiss & Cry section after it's created), here's a thread for those interested in discussing potential skaters (all countries), both new and returning, as well as for posting...

www.fsuniverse.net

ETA a friendly note to @Katesk8sgr8s... since you copied-and-pasted the scores in your post above, you probably should have mentioned that the club competition dance result links are posted in the U.S. Dance news thread in GSD: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...9-20-season-news-updates.105725/#post-5607014
(I did this for those without access to U.S. Club competitions thread in the Kiss & Cry section where results/scores and some reports/music notes are posted.)
Ice-Dance.com is providing a very helpful service by compiling these scores from result sheet photos posted at the competition rinks and they deserve credit. P.S. I am not an Admin. here, just posting as a fellow fan.

"Chock 2.0 with Sexy Bates".

I'm totally onboard for this.

 

[Dobre]

It will be a new challenge for Nguyen & Kolesnik this season. As there were really no expectations for them heading into last year. And now the pressure will be there. (Which is part of the process). I don't have huge expectations, as I think that transition in learning how to lead can be really tough and is a very important step. I'm looking forward to watching them tackle it.

I will also try to think very positive thoughts before all their twizzles.

 

[VGThuy]

Chock/Bates realized the difficulty of skating to Rach 2 as an ice dance program, so I wonder how wise it is for such a young team to tackle this one. I sort of think they need a few more years, but what do we know until we see it by the end of this season?

I still think they're missing an opportunity and should be embracing their youth a bit to give ice dance some refreshing energy. I like it when younger skaters don't try to skate to programs that are made only to make people think they're more mature than their years. If they are, no matter what they skate to, it'll come out anyway so no need to force it.

According to Russian boards, Katharina Mueller/Tim Dieck moved from Alexei Gorshkov to Anjelika Krylova
