My my my. So many fave children assigned. So many crowns to make...
I'm just sad of no Baby Brits...they look to be assigned for last 2 GPs, unless I've missed them somewhere on other JGP lists...

Let's hope it stays this way and all pairs will compete. Eager to see all of them!

Have Sofia Holichenko/Artem Darenskyi been a senior pair the past few seasons? Or am I muddling them with someone else.

Yep, that's the right team you are thinking of. In fact, they've not competed in Juniors once since pairing up in 2020.

How strange. It must be related to Sierova/Khobta's split and the upper age change. What doesn't make sense if that they are only doing one JGP event. Ukraine had plenty of spots because Sierova/Khobta made the free at junior worlds and they have no other pairs JGP entries this year.

Just saw this and...WHY???
Plus no substitutes assigned..?
I'm honestly lost for words at this point, this much talent while reducing opportunities...

It has been posted elsewhere that Japan requires skaters to place at least 4th in their first JGP to keep their second spot. Ebihara was 5th and Nishino 6th, so neither is eligible for a second JGP this year. Yoshida/Ogahara placed 8th. Ikura Kushida had already lost her second spot after placing 5th. It seems that JSF is perhaps unwilling to spend money sending skaters unless it believes they will medal. Whilst JSF is richer than many, it still doesn't have a bottomless pit of cash and there were rumours about financial issues contributing to the cancellation of the Japanese Open. We may not agree with the decisions, but I am glad at least that it isn't just Kushida who is being treated that way. I wouldn't be surprised if the ice dance team who competed at Ostrava also lose their second spot.

Jumping to top 4 after sending out skaters to a second JGP after placing as low as 8th last season is too much, imo. (Which did pay off, by the way, all of the skaters assigned to a second JGP after placing outside of the top 4 last season ended up medalling at their second assignment.)

And if it's financial issues, at least let skaters chose to compete as long as they can fund themselves - I'm sure some people would be willing to donate to gofundmes as well.
