A little early I know but thought someone might know when the assignment meeting takes place.
Anyone please let us know.
Last year it was late May, IIRC.
Mid June. Last year was earlier than usual because of the Olympics.

Thank you.Mid June. Last year was earlier than usual because of the Olympics.
Lysacek will get 1 , I think he will not want the second one.
Alexei Yagudin was going to continue after winning the OGM - and was leading after the SP at the 2002 Skate America, when his hip injury forced him to withdraw and eventually ended his competitive career.Interesting. When was the last time an Olympic champion skater or team took part in the Grand Prix?

Sarah Hughes? I'm not sure...
didn't Plushenko skate in the GP for the 2006-07 season?
May 18 and 19 of this year? That's tremendous! I hope Kimmie is back to full strength. I hate to see a good skater fall out the bottom of the sport. I feel the same way about Caroline. I'll watch the video when I get a chance. Thanks!
Here's Kimmie skating in Superstars on Ice which took place May 18 and 19 in Illinois. It's a fun routine, and she looks really strong.

I'm still a bit hazy on this Junior competition. Apparently, it has to do with the skater's age, but what other credentials does the skater need to qualify for Juniors? Are there tests to qualify for Juniors, and do they apply to all Federations??

But surely, age is not the only requirement. Can a coach put her 12 yr old student into the Junior event for experience based on her age only? I would think the Junior Event would be flooded with contestants.Internationally, junior is strictly an age definition. Nationally, that differs however. I do no in the USA it's a matter of passing tests, so someone might compete at the senior level nationally but junior internationally - that's quite common (Virtue/Moir did for two years, for example. Some skaters - like Denis Ten, will do both. You cannot do senior and junior GP events, except pairs as a host nation pick, I think)
You're probably correct, but this is not about being 'really junior'. It's about a question of elligibility other than age. No one can state categorically that AGE is the ONLY REQUIREMENT.junior.
