Hey Pete - I'm assuming by Entries at JGP United States means Lake Placid.

 

[Mathman]

I've got to go with Meredith Pipkin and Brett Dunie-Neustatd, just on the basis of cool names. :agree:

The field in LP will probably be weak compared to other JGPs, but I'm not sure if it's the best idea to send what's probably 3 of the top 4 US dance teams to the same event.

Does anyone know whether IN will be covering the Lake Placid GP?

Does anyone know whether IN will be covering the Lake Placid GP?

I was wondering that, too. Last year I'm pretty sure they didn't cover the JGP. :frown2: I hope they do this season.

 

[Tammi]

I haven't seen anything yet and although they typically don't cover JGP's, in 2007, Ice Network did provide live coverage during the Lake Placid JGP. I checked back and the press release for that event came out in late August, so there's still hope.

Sorry for not noticing your query earlier Joe.... Yes, those are the listed entries for JGP Lake Placid.

 

[Narumi1997]

Laney Diggs withdrew on August 20 and was replaced by Christina Gao
Andrews/Anderson also withdrew on the 20th but there is no replacement yet.
maybe USFS is waiting to see how well Carman and Reiss are at the Golden West.

The Lake Placid JGP and Golden West are being held at exactly the same time.

 

[Sylvia]

Andrews/Anderson will not be replaced in Poland (here's hoping they may be able to get a later one - GER?). I believe the one U.S. pair team alternate currently listed for POL, Carman/Reiss, has already been assigned to the JGP in Belarus and that Laney Diggs has been shifted to there (official entries should be published sometime this week).
