Whereas Alica LENGYELOVA (SVK) had the upper hand in the first half of the season, big sister Olivia LENGYELOVA (SVK) is re-asserting her authority in the second half.

After Olivia led Alica in a Lengyelova 1-2 in Junior Ladies at the Sofia Trophy two weeks ago, they finished in the same positions at the Merano Trophy this week. But, the way they got into those positions was very different.

In Sofia, Olivia was 3rd in the SP, won the FS, and won overall. Alica won the SP, was 2nd in the FS, and finished 2nd overall.

In Merano, Olivia won the SP, the FS, and overall. Alica was down in 5th position in the SP, 7.67 points behind her sister. But she came back to 2nd position in the FS, just 1.19 points behind Olivia, which was enough to finish 2nd overall, 8.86 points behind.

I take it the Slovak Fed are using a series of head-to-heads to select which of the sisters to send to Junior Worlds. Just like the Lithuanian Fed did with their Senior Ladies: they sent all three girls to two international events, and then had Nationals as the third and final round. The difference in Slovakia is that their Nationals will not be included as a round of the series, because they are being held the week after Junior Worlds!

I'll keep an eye out to see if there are any more head-to-heads coming up over the next month.
