There’s a skater called Elsbeth in the pre Novices. It’s my neighbours name, I love it!
Looking forward to this and seeing Graham perhaps get his minimums and seeing Harry improve his SB.
Karly is 52nd on the SB list and above some surprising names but perhaps pushing into that top 50 would be good?
Interested to see where Tasya Putri ends up, I hope she does well! I’ll be surprised if Kihira competes.
Starr Andrews added to the list! Looking forward to seeing her.
Still thinking it's absurd JPN fed is sending both Sota and Kagiyama into seniors when there's basically just 1 podium spot to fight for (no chance IMO for them against Aymoz and Grassl unless either implodes). Why didn't they just enter Kagiyama into the junior event alongside Shun??! They'd be practically locks for gold and silver, and Kagiyama has more of a chance to gather points there. I just don't understand their reasoning...

Well, he can use the experience (I mean, it wouldn't hurt), he can earn Senior minimums if he doesn't already have them and not only that, he can gain ranking points if he finish high enough (top 5).
If he competes in the junior event, he would not be able to gain ranking points nor get mimimums for 4CC/SrWorlds. They do not give ranking points to juniors outside of JGP/JGPF/JrWorlds. Junior Bs are only there for skaters to get experience and to earn minimums for JrW.
Here's a reference from the ISU website

Maybe Yuma is going into seniors next year, so they want him to experience it? Although I personally think he could stay in juniors with a good chance of going to junior worlds next year. I really like his FS.
I'm puzzled as to why Rika is going. Her latest comp is 4CC which she won, and that gives her enough time to prepare for Worlds. Mako came 6th in nationals, and as far as I know, she hasn't been assigned any international competition.

I too think Yuma could get great results if he stayed in juniors for one more season, what with Koshiro, probably Sena, and possibly also Tatsuya and Yuto turning senior... but what do I know. :scratch:

I don't understand why Rika is here ether. I'd like her to focus on recovery and then on Worlds. But it seems like it's a strategy of JSF for skaters to train and compete in the area before larger events. I think Shoma definitely likes this strategy, he showed up pretty early for 4CC and competed in Europe before WC 2017.
World standing points. She’s hoping to make the Final short program flight at Worlds.I don't understand why Rika is here ether.
