Nan Song popped at least one jump, I think got 50-something for technical. It shorted out moments before the number came up!

Micheal Brezina fell at least once and did not look happy at all.
Florent Amodio 171.69
Armin got 172.64. Not sure if that won it for him or not...
I think he's second to Michal. No 3A is the main difference, but a great skate for Armin nonetheless. Note the 3A is worth more this year. Florent 3rd overall, but 2nd in the LP

Dummy that I am, I tuned in and got Brezina's last minute on the ice. He is quite a technical guy but I didn't see that wow factor I saw last year
Amodio improved somewhat. He's a work in progress and will be competitive soon. Great flow over ice, posture however doesn't vary.
Ten is good and belongs in this group but he's just not a podium type yet.
Mahmadoozabeh (I'm going to call him Amin from now on) looked like he had Morozov choreograph his routine. He was all arms, which irritate me when they are arms for the sake of arms and have no bearing on the music.
On the whole, none of the boys wowed me. Very disappointed in Brezina, hopefully he makes the final.
btw, does this same group all go to Spain?

Joe, The Madrid lineup is up, and it's not a copy of this one..

For a first time following juniors, I'm impressed with everyone's knowledge!! It's really helping understand what's going on a little more easily.
I wish Paul Poirier had placed higher, but, then again, considering his high ranking in dance, I think he's still really good!
Also, didn't Ten once skate for Canada? I thought I'd read an article on Golden Skate, titled "Ten for 2010", but maybe it was another skater with the same last name?
For whoever was wondering who the last lady was to medal in the JGP, I think it was Jessica Dubé in 2003 or 2004 -- the year she won two medals in one event, gold in pairs and bronze in singles, I think.

You're thinking of Jeremy Ten, he does skate for Canada.
Doris - I got the wrong thoughts. It was the American skaters: Bereswill, Musademba, Amin, Elliot, and Shibutanis are all listed for Madrid.Originally Posted by dorispulaski
Here's the Madrid JGP preliminary roster list: http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23530
I am glad to see that Amodio has planned a senior program - I guess he has a chance to go to Europeans, and the FFSG would probably be more than happy to give him a chance, because Préaubert and Ponsero haven't shown much improvement in the last years. Amodio has already beaten at least one of them in the Free at French Nationals last year as far as I remember. What he needs to do now is check his short program and get the levels up there, the free had good levels but the short...
And Boyadji did a good job too, he also is including the Triple Axel - things are looking bright for the future of the French skating men.
Brezina really looked a bit stiff - I wouldn't read too much into it, it's so early in the season, perhaps it gets better.
And can someone please give Eliot Halverson a Triple Axel? I enjoy watching him skate. What is it with the American Juniors and their Triple Axel, this Armin guy doesn't have one either.
Halverson landed a 3A in the Chemnitz JGP last year; the jump isn't included in his programs right now. Mahbanoozadeh has worked on the 3A in practice but is focusing on triple-triples and improving other aspects of his skating. There are other U.S. JGP guys who've landed 3A in competition -- Curran Oi who's scheduled for Merano next week, Richard Dornbush (Mexico City) and Keegan Messing (Ostrava).

Free dance scores are up.
Final standings:
http://www.isufs.org/results/jgpfra2008/CAT003RS.HTM
The Shibutanis win with an 11-point margin. What a debut! Can't wait to see the free dance on Wednesday.
The protocols are up as well. The Czechs got a deduction, so they may have fallen again :(
But they do medal! Congratulations to Alex & Maia, Kharis & Asher, and Lucie and Matej. And also to Terra and Benoit, whose 4th place finish was very, very good for a brand new team, especially when you consider they won the CD & were 3rd in the FD
