JGP Toruń, POLAND (Sept. 9th- Sept. 12th, 2009)

[Lucky Star]

Kanako JGPF will be very interesting I think (Murakami, Shelepen...). And Russian girls did very well again! (both only 13), good luck for them in FS!

Reitmayerova is only 16th :scratch:

[MikiAndoFan#1]

Go Narumi and Mervin!

 

[SamuraiKike]

Ouch.. poor Reitmayerova.. what happened to her?? 2 falls!! I really like her and I think she has some future but is not a good season start at all for someone who's going to Vancouver ....

 

[100yen]

Really glad to hear about Takahashi/Tran! I guess they managed to clean up all the little kinks (a.k.a. random falls) in their program here. I enjoyed their JGPLP skate, so I am excited to see an improved version of them.

And wow! Kanako! Also very excited to see her skate. I remeber just last year when it was Yukiko instead of her who was getting all the attention ...

so Right now they are the Shibutani's main rivals for gold at the Final..

I guess it's time to up the ante on the Shib fandom!!!!

Haha, really...all the best for Elena and Nikita, though.

 

[oleada]

Yay for Elena and Nikita. I love them
Their basics and speed and lines are amazing.

 

[bibi]

I hope to find videos of ladies, it's a really interesting field out there !!!

 

[bekalc]

Kanako Murkami is someone I really like. She has really great expression and is a good performer. IF she can rotate and land her jumps I can see her being huge on the Junior Circuit this year winning everything, and making a big splash next year in Seniors.

 

[snowflake]

Junior Men

Anyone knows something about Gordei GORSHKOV? I saw him skating when he was a young boy, 3-4 years ago . To me he seemed very talented and promising. His ISU bio says he didn't compete last season. Why?

 

[Fashionista]

His ISU bio says he didn't compete last season. Why?

He was third on Winter European Youth Olympic festival and also took part in some inside Russian competitions.

 

[life684]

This is turing out to be a very good junior grand prix for Japan. Hanyu leads after sp.

Men's SP results: http://www.isuresults.com/results/jgppol2009/SEG001.HTM

I heard Keegan Messing skated with stitches in his leg after a practice accident on Wednesday. He could have withdrawn but not surprising to me that he toughed it out and competed anyway. Brave guy!

Thanks for the clarification, that might explain why he is so far back in the standing

The Russian pair seems to be doing really well!

 

[MikiAndoFan#1]

It's a pity that the results aren't updated after each skater. Last year they updated after each skater (at least in senior competitions they did it). Is the GP going to be like this, too?

:scratch:

I hope not!

JGP have always updated after each event. It was like that last year.

Junior competitions are always updated after each event. Only seniors are done after each skater..

 

[MikiAndoFan#1]

Thank you, oleada and SamuraiKike!

:yes:

I'm kind of relieved now!

 

[snowflake]

Go Yuzuru!

Yeah, the bielman guy with lovely spins. Last junior worlds (12th) he looked so tiny. Now apparently he has grown to be 169 cm and maybe put on more flesh/muscles. Only 15, what will be? Good luck to him.
