Joe,
I have to agree with you on Barizova and Larionov. They were very impressive in thier Skate America third place.

That is so neither here nor there, and I don't see what that has to do with anything. If Bazarova/Larionov skated for Outer Mongolia or Uzbekistan or wherever, I'd still like them.
I like skaters from every nationality. My own country doesn't have any skaters, so I root for whomever I like. If I'm attracted to someone's skating, I don't give a sh*t what country they skate to. If they happen to be Russian, well, what is the problem? Some of my other favorite skaters: Savchenko & Szolkowy, Yu-Na, Miki, Mao, Daisuke, Verner, Johnny, Mirai and my favorite skater ever is Sasha.
I didn't like Belbin/Agosto's Amelie, if that's what you're referring to. I thought it was empty and ugly. I quite like their FD this year and I really enjoyed their Shadritsa free dance.

Much too obvious. Rippon and C.Hughes for the upset. It's not the win I'm thinking, it's the originality of their skating.

Here is a link to the ISU's website and the Junior Grand Prix Final schedule, starting orders and results. Just click on the section you want to view. During competition, the results are usually posted and updated after each skater.

Rippon's my pick as well - great style and lovely, smooth skating.

I am hoping Flatt takes the title.
The judges are up.
The panel for the Ice Dance competition:
POL CZE CAN RUS UKR GEO USA JPN ITA
Once again we have judges from THREE former SSRs on a 9-judge panel.
Why the Georgian judge was selected once again is beyond me.
The panel for PAIRS:
CZE POL EST USA UKR CAN FRA JPN RUS CHN
Three former SSRs on this panel, too.
For the LADIES:
POL CAN USA EST FRA UKR FIN RUS CZE JPN
Three former SSRs here, too.
For the MEN:
JPN POL FRA GEO CZE USA RUS CHN FIN CAN
Only two SSRs here.
Why are judges from GEO and CZE on so many panels? There are no skaters from either country in this event. Why not use judges from SUI, SWE, AUS?
I'm afraid we'll see the same kind of engineered panels at the GPF as well.

Mirai will have to have a meltdown of some sort then...

If Mirai skates her best, the judges from EST, UKR and RUS will be singled out if they differentiate from the flow of the Panel.
I don't see any questionable judging in the Men's event but I too, wonder why the Georgian judge is there. Maybe they had trouble getting a Swiss or Swdish judge on the Panel. Thinking about the top 10 World skaters
I would compare protocols in Pairs to see if the scores are about even from ALL the judges. I don't think Moskvina would like it if a team coming out of Juniors won over her team in their second season.
No French judge in Ice Dance? hmmm.

Isn't there some sort of random draw for the judges among all ISU members?Why are judges from GEO and CZE on so many panels? There are no skaters from either country in this event. Why not use judges from SUI, SWE, AUS?

I just perused the ISU membership list. I counted 61 nations represented. Quite a few of them (at least 18, I am guessing) do not have any qualified international judges. Of the remainder, 18 have historical, political, cultural, and especially skating ties to Russia.
So I don't see anything surprising or sinister about the fact that three out of nine are from this group.

Estonia actually has a skater in the mix (Issakova), so we will be able to see whether three judges give her elevated marks, or only one (the Estonian judge.
)very close so far...
