My favorites were Gifford/Bodnarek, Vollmer/Sidhu and Gibbons/Harris. :thumbsup: Gifford/Bodnarek had the best and most intricate program of the night. Vollmer/Sidhu had natural charm and expression. Since they're so young, they have a lot of years on the JGP (13/16 I think?) which is quite rare for US Junior pairs. Gibbons/Harris were one of the few who had a theme to their program and try to do something beyond just two people skating together. Their elements were also of good quality. :thumbsup:
