[n_halifax]

Here is a possible list of projected entries for the 2010 World Junior Figure Skating Championships in The Hague, Netherlands... I have compiled this list based on the eligible ISU members and national results that are available, keeping in mind that certain countries have not yet held national championships and many countries send junior age eligible senior ranked competitors. Please help confirm/correct this list with any information you may have.

Skaters in BOLD are confirmed entries, skaters not in bold but without a star by their name are pretty much locks and skaters with stars by their names are purely speculative. Country names without a skater listed are listed as such simply because I haven't had time to research those spots yet... Please help if you can.

Ashley Wagner: According to usfigureskating.org, she has pulled out of Junior Worlds. Anybody know why? (Kiri Baga, 1st alternate will take her place)

[Morning Glory]

Ashley Wagner: According to usfigureskating.org, she has pulled out of Junior Worlds. Anybody know why? (Kiri Baga, 1st alternate will take her place)

In the "Projected entries" thread, Chemistry66 gave us the explanation.

Just Google-searched Ashley Wagner and came up with this:

http://figureskatersonline.com/news/...h-seasons-end/

Basic premise seems to be that she's not injured or anything, but just came to the conclusion that training her Senior level programs as an alternate for Worlds was a better plan. Seems also that she wasn't adjusting well to her shortened LP and was having issues getting back to the Junior mindset.

That's good she is not injured.

Ashley Wagner: According to usfigureskating.org, she has pulled out of Junior Worlds. Anybody know why? (Kiri Baga, 1st alternate will take her place)

According to Post #90 (page 6) of the "Projected Entries" thread, it looks like she was having trouble with the shortened Junior (3'30") program and generally adjusting back to the junior mindset. She's apparently more intent on focusing on polishing her Senior program in case Mirai/Rachael withdraw from Worlds (heaven forbid!).

ADMINS: This thread really should be merged with the other thread.
