2019-20 GP Series: Entries announced

katmari · Jun 20, 2019

From the ISU announcement

The minimum total score from ISU Events for this season is 3/5 of highest score per discipline at the ISU World Figure Skating Championships 2019:

Men 194.05

Donovan's season's best was 174.70. If he does some early challenger events and brings his score above the minimum, he would be eligible as a replacement.

Dreamer57 · Jun 20, 2019

I'm looking forward to NHK pairs and I hope Miura/Ichihashi get the host spot!

Also Skate America ladies - I am totally Wakaba right now

Am I the only one who thinks Skate America men looks quite difficult?
& it's Koshiro's first and (so far) only senior GP event.

Surely the SC host pick for pairs should be Walsh/Michaud given that they a) got the silver at Nationals and b) Ilyushechkina/Bilodeau got 2 spots and W/M only got one spot.

I bet they are hoping they get another invite from withdrawals, as they are pretty high on the replacement list and if not, then for sure the spot goes to them.

Great for me as I'm going! I been waiting on a roster like this for 7 years of going to SA :laugh:

do you think Daniel Grassl will do jgp? it could make sense, he didn't get any spot on the senior gp yet, on jgp he could aim for gold, we have a lot of spots and not so many jr men (even less with an actual chance of reaching a medal of any color, let alone the finals). withdrawals are not rare, but how many chances does he have to get 2 spots this way?

Daniel will do the JGP because is aiming to be at the final.

Great minds think alike
My GPF is Rika, Sasha, Anna, Zhenya or Alena, Alina and Elizabet.

Oh I just realized our predictions are basically exactly the same. Happy to know I'm not alone

I have a feeling Elizabets 3A isn’t going to be completely perfect right away so I’m accounting for that by putting her 3rd for her first event. I imagine Eteri will keep her busy working on it in between her events :laugh:

Sensation · Jun 20, 2019

Anna got good placements.

Looking forward to SC with Zhenya vs Sasha vs Rika and NHK with Alina vs Rika.

I think ideally they would like to give that to Brasseur/Bardei and have Walsh/Michaud get a second event as a replacement.

I'm surprised H/D are willing to go for back to back events at the start of the GP once again.

My thoughts exactly - especially after Zach said they didn’t have as much time as others to prepare last year since they did the first two competitions.

Maju · Jun 20, 2019

When do JGP assignments come out?

They might not have had a choice. As bronze medalists, they kind of get stuck with whatever events P/C and S/K didn't want.

Colonel Green · Jun 20, 2019

Preliminary dance predictions:

Skate America
1. Hubbell/Donohue
2. Stepanova/Bukin (will make a fight of it)
3. Zahorski/Guerreiro vs. Fournier Beaudry/Sorensen

Skate Canada International
1. Hubbell/Donohue
2. Gilles/Poirier
3. Hawayek/Baker

Internationaux de France
1. Papadakis/Cizeron (bold, I know)
2. Chock/Bates
3. Guignard/Fabbri

Cup of China
1. Sinitsina/Katsalapov
2. Chock Bates
3. Hawayek/Baker vs. Fournier Beaudry/Sorensen

Rostelecom Cup
1. Sinitsina/Katsalapov
2. Gilles/Poirier
3. Kaliszek/Spodyriev vs. Hurtado/Khaliavin (based on scores it should be the former, but the Poles never start strongly)

NHK Trophy
1. Papadakis/Cizeron
2. Stepanova/Bukin
3. Guignard/Fabbri

Well, I guess that confirms the Greens splitting up.

I'm glad I'm not the only one upset.

About a month before the date of each. Often the list are placeholders until the Feds can decide who they want to go based on previous results.

Grassl was guaranteed one Sr GP spot by being in top 24 Season Best list. The fact he didn't get any means he wasn't submitted for consideration. So he must have decided to stay in Junior GP (or skip the whole GP season but it would sounds strange).

it make sense though. as i said on the jgp he could get the gold

deneb said:
Daniel stated in a recent interview that because of the finals in Torino he wants to try to qualify for the finals in JGP.

thank you!

Bluediamonds09 · Jun 20, 2019

I wish that France had other ladies to send to their host Grand Prix. Year after year we see Mae and Laurine, year after year we see them, and neither has the potential to be even top 5 in this tough field.
