Konkina / Yakushev still have the highest FD russians score. Now their chances of going to JGPF just got better with Shpilevaya/Smirnov silver, whom still haven't improved their levels. For Carreira / Ponomarenko and Shevchenko/Eremenko how many points do they have now ?

thanks, so Carreira / Ponomarenko, Polischuk / Vakhnov and Shevchenko/Eremenko are almost certain to get to the JGPF, the Isrealis have done 2 events.
Shpilevaya/Smirnov - Konkina/Yakushev are almost tied, so whomever wins from S/S or K/Y in their next event gets into the JGPF too.
Two golds or a gold and silver qualify you automatically, so yes, anyone who already has a win has an advantage. Skoptcova/Aleshin haven't debuted yet, they'll face off with Carreira/Ponomarenko in the next event.
Polischuk/Vakhnov, Shevchenko/Eremenko, and Konkina/Yakushev do not currently have second events(presumably that will change). Shpilevaya/Smirnov's next event is Croatia where they'll be against Lajoie/Lagha who also got silver with a similar score in Australia. It's going to be a tight race.

Shpilevaya/Smirnov 
Such a beautiful performance but those levels :scard7: Once this gets cleaned up levels-wise it should score quite well. I am a bit surprised though that none of this was caught at the test skates. They should be ahead of L/L at the next event unless L/L have significantly upped their game.
Shevchenko/Eremenko were interesting. Something different.

I really loved both russian teams. Shpilevaya/Smirnov showed so much emotion and the program suits them perfectly. They need to fix those levels quickly but I am sure that this program will score much higher in future assignments.
Shevchenko/Eremenko really improved a lot compared to last season. Innovative and dinamic program. I can see a final with 5 russian teams + 1 US team.

Why was the russian judge replaced by an israeli judge for the FD?

This seems pretty likely - the only other strong contender right now is the Canadian team, Lajoie/Lagha
Breaking 90 will be much harder this season. The total possible base value in the junior FD has gone down.
I don't follow much junior ice dance but I happened to catch Taillefer/Chan's stunning Penny Dreadful FD. Styling was also on point. Many times teams with no chance of medaling have really good programs.
I was really impressed with Taillefer/Chan's program as well, so well constructed and just lovely to watch, I was a bit disappointed that their ranking is so low.
The gold performance from Shevchenko and Eremenko is ...... very different (in a good way). That's the first word come into my mind
They are awesome and with such solid skating skill, it would be good to see them debut in senior circuit and maybe rock the podium in few years time.
I haven't rewatched, and I skipped over the analysis section; but my mother thought perhaps they took too many steps between sets. (Skaters are allowed to take a step between sets, but I don't know about multiple steps). Even if that wasn't the issue, I'm thinking the problem is likely an easy fix.
, sooo cool!! :cool14:Similar threads
