Yeah, that would interest me too. Who goes for Russia? Are any of those babies among the Russian "senior ladies" JGP eligible this season?

I think Isabel Drescher will do JGP again, Hecken got two Senior assignments and Drescher none.

I can't help but disapprove of anyone who skates Senior can also skate JGP. I know the Rule. No need to repeat it again. It's just a thing with me that if a skater gets a taste of the senior level, that is his level. All those other contestants in JGPs haven't got a chance, unless one is super special which I doubt.

I will not worry about who wins but I will be interested in watching those not eligible for Seniors.

Reitmayerova didn't get any GP assignments as far as I know; so she'll be back.

Out of the Russian babies who did Senior nationals, only Polina Shelepen is eligible (6th in Seniors, 4th in Juniors). I've seen Adelina Sotnikova's birthday given as either January 11 (but I think this is an error by IceNetwork), July 11 or July 1st (the date given by the Russian fed, which would make her too young by one day!). Tuktamysheva's birthday is December 17, 1996, so she's also too young.

The Russian fed listed this as their Junior "A" team:

Junior Team (b.1989-1998) - unless stated otherwise, JGP eligible
Pairs
Kristina Astahova & Nikita Bochkov - J7 (Astahova BD is 25.02.1997
so not JGP eligible)
Alexandra Vasilieva & Yuri Shevchuk - J6
Ekaterina Kuklina & Eduard Kushtanov - J5
Valeria Morozova & Denis Golubev - J4
Tatiana Novik & Konstantin Medovikov - S7
Anna Silaeva & Artur Minchuk - New team
Ksenia Stolbova & Fedor Klimov - new team

Men
Ivan Bariev - J1
Jean Bush
Artur Gachinski - J2
Gordey Gorshkov - J6
Mark Shamatov - J5
Alexander Stepanov

Ladies
Polina Agafonova - J7
Nikol Gosviani - J6 (b. 09.09.1996 - not eligible for JGP)
Ksenia Makarova - J5
Anna Ovcharova - J16
Evgenia Pochufarova
Evgenia Tarasova - J8

Ice Dance
Marina Antipova & Artem Kudashev - J3
Tatiana Baturintseva & Ivan Volobuev - J6
Valeria Zenkova & Valery Sinitsin
Elena Ilynikh & Nikita Katsalapov - J4
Ksenia Monko & Kirill Khaliavin - J5
Victoria Sinitsina & Ruslan Zhingashin - J7
Ekaterina Pushkash & Jonathan Guerreiro - new team

Note that Polina Shelepen is listed with the National team (Leonova, DomShabs, K/S, etc), so I'm assuming that barring injury she'll have two assignments. Ozerova/Enbert are listed on the reserve team.

Newbies to watch out will possibly be (All IMHO, so take it as you will) Polina Agafonova in ladies, Ilynikh/Katsalapov in dance and maybe Morozova/Golubev in pairs.

Sheremetieva/Kuznetsov (5th at Junior Worlds in pairs) and Novik/Medovikov (7th at JGP Sheffield) split. Tatiana Novik and Mikhail Kuznetsov are skating together; Sheremetieva also has a new partner. Both teams are eligible for the JGP.

For what it's worth, here's the "B" junior team, but on the whole they tend to be younger, less experienced and not as good results.

Pairs
Maria Deryabina & Mikahil Akulov
Irina Moiseeva & Vladimir Morozov - JGP eligible
Ekaterina Petaykina & Maxim Kurdyukov - JGP eligible
Elizaveta Semenova & Maxim Petukhov

Men
Ivan Bich - JGP eligible
Fedosy Efremenko - JGP eligible
Murad Kurbanov
Konstantin Miluykov - JGP eligible
Dmitry Mihaylov
Artemije Punin - JGP eligible
Vladislav Tarasenko

Ladies
Maria Artemyeva - JGP eligible
Alexandra Deeva
Kristina Zaseeva
Polina Korobeinkova - JGP eligible
Anna Pogorilaya
Rosa Sheveleva - JGP eligible
Elena Radionova
Anna Shershak

Dance (all are JGP eligible)
Evgenia Kosygina & Sergei Mozgov
Valeria Loseva & Denis Lunin
Valeria Starigyna & Nikolai Moroshkin
Alexandra Stepanova & Ivan Bukin

Out of this group, I would think that Petaykina/Kurdyukov, Maria Artemyeva, & Polina Korobeinikova would be the most likely to get assignments based on results from last season, if any.

Reposting from FSU... Here are the JGP-eligible skaters/teams as compiled from the 2008-09 ISU Season Best score lists. All scores are Junior unless otherwise indicated.

Thanks Sylvia. If I have the time, I will figure out who will also skate Senior Nationals. I know the age rules; it's just one of my pet peeves.
