With 32 pairs, the number of entry is higher than in 2018 (28). There’s only a few pairs who only reached one segment.

Pairs who met the RD TES only : Julia ALBRECHT / Kai HOFERICHTER (GER), Diana KIST / Sergey GROSS (GER)
Pairs who met the FS TES only : Camilla ZAPPONINI / Francesco BELTRANI (ITA), Jeongeun JEON / Sungmin CHOI (KOR)

Here’s the list of 2019 competitions where the skaters can earn their TES for Worlds. In brackets, the skaters concerned. In bold, the ones who obtained these TES.
- Mentor Torun Cup, Poland (Simitsakos/Wong, Takanami/Ikeda)
- Egna Dance Trophy, Italy (Lopareva/Brissaud)
- Bavarian Open, Germany (Val/Colmor, Korinkova/Moravec, Hancock/Wilson, Oliver/Paleev)

 

[Nirti]

At the Egna Dance Trophy, new french team Evgenia Lopareva / Geoffrey Brissaud reached both RD and FD TES. With their 2nd place only 3 points behind Demougeot / Le Mercier, they have strong chances to be selected to Junior Worlds (France's got 2 spots) and compete for the top10.

 

[Nirti]

2 more entries after the Bavarian Open : Sofia Val / Linus Colmor (Spain) and Olivia Oliver / Petr Paleev (Poland).
2 other pairs reached the TES, Korinkova/Moravec (Czech Republic) and Hancock/Wilson (Great Britain) and will most likely be alternates for their countries.

 

[DSQ]

Rebecca CLARKE / Theodore ALEXANDER, Sasha FEAR / George WADDELL, Lucy HANCOCK / Billy WILSON-FRENCH, Natalia PALLU-NEVES / Frank ROSELLI or Emily BROWN / James HERNANDEZ

It’s Fear & Waddell they just announced it and the reserve are Brown & Hernandez so they must have recovered from their injury.

Official list

Finally just the kazakhs are missing.

 

[Ice Dance]

I feel like Junior Worlds is always a bit of a wild & crazy ride. Pressure is on. Usually one of the favorites mucks up the short and you get a surprise or two in the final flight. Then, frequently, whoever placed higher than they anticipated mucks up the free. And we see where the cards fall.

It's fun. Make or break competition. If you want to break through, this is a great place to do it.

[Ice Dance]

And, again, just a heads-up that Popova & Byelikov's SB is from a senior competition where there are more base value points. And while Lopareva & Brissaud's score is from an international, they actually finished behind Demougeot & Le Mercier both in that event and at both head-to-heads in France this season.

 

[Noxchild]

Goo Avonley & Vadym!!

 

[elbkup]

All the BEST Avonley & Vadym!!
