On the subject of American skaters representing Ireland, the new girl that became Junior Ladies champion in June, Julianna FARRELL, ages out of Juniors after this season! So, if she wants to do a Junior GP, this is her only chance.
With this in mind, I am amazed that Julianna wasn't on the Entry List for Latvia.
We finally have our first Irish entry on this season's JGP - Julianna Farrell at Gdansk (Solidarity Cup).
Better late than never!

I am glad that Julianna got the call up. As I pointed out a few weeks ago, she ages out of Juniors after this season. So it really was a case of now or never for her to make her Junior GP debut. The other girls that are competing in Juniors are younger and will get another opportunity next season. Julianna won't.
That said, I am still disappointed that the ISAI didn't make use of the slot in Riga. They could have given two skaters the opportunity, or given Julianna two opportunities. But, alas...
By the way, Dillon Judge and Carolane Soucisse / Shane Firus will be going to Beijing for the Olympic Qualifying Event in a couple of weeks time. Being realistic, Dillon will not be in contention. He'll be there for the experience. But, Carolane and Shane have a chance if they skate well.
All the best to all of them.
