Maxwell and Musademba are skating juniors at US Nationals.
Zhang, Flatt and Nagasu are all skating senior at Nationals, as I believe Vahamaa is too.
But they are all juniors internationally, although I believe Vahamaa is old enough for senior internationals.

Sorry to pull it off topic,. but Nagasu is skating senior nationally? I thought I heard somewhere she would be again skating junior nationally.

Final Results:

1 Vanessa CRONE / Paul POIRIER CAN 169.04 2 2 1

Congratulations to Crone & Poirer for winning this JGP and qualifying for the Grand Prix Final!

Congratz to them! I was hoping that they would make the final, but I didn't think they's win twice. What a breakthrough for them. I'm dying to see their new FD now. Hopefully it's televised at this year's Canadian championships. As mentioned above, Lenko/Islam are on the bubble. I hope they make it. Now, i'm curious at to where people think Crone/Poirier will place at the final. They've havn't had a JGP with Samuelson/Bates this season, so it will be interesting to see how they stack up against them.

Yes, Mirai is skating as a senior nationally.

Because she is confirmed for the JGPF, Mirai won't have to do Senior Regionals and Sectionals. She goes straight to Nationals.

That must feel nice, both knowing so early that she qualified for JGPF (though that was never much in doubt), and also for National's.

Senior LP's are a little longer though, will she get a chance to put it out somewhere as a warm-up before National's? She's skating her SP at the upcoming cheesefest in Japan, right?
