We have Polish skating royalty in the Men's entry list!

Dorota Zagórska and Mariusz Siudek's son Ryszard is making his Junior GP debut.

And there is a new girl that I have never come across before in the Irish team. Allie PETERSON, who is from Hingham, Massachusettes.

Which reminds me - what ever happened the last skaters that came over from America to represent Ireland? I haven't heard anything about the Condon twins for over two years.

Although I don't have any kids competing in Riga, I did notice that one of my kids has interest here. Aleksandra GOLOVKINA (LTU) is down as a choreographer for Agnė IVANOVAITE (LTU). Oh, and for those that are interested, Aleksandra has got married since we last saw her at Europeans.

And just one final thing to look forward to - the commentators' favourite skater is here! Polina DZSUMANYIJAZOVA (HUN)

Can't wait for it to all kick off!

Allie competed at the Irish Championships in June. She's also competed domestically in the US in July

I'm an idiot for not checking the results from Nationals before posting. Yes, I remember now noticing at the time that both Junior and Advanced Novice Ladies categories were won by newbies. But, it was the Advanced Novice girl that I became more intrigued by, because she came via Finland.

Good to hear that Allie has been in action since Nationals. Hopefully that'll mean she hits the ground running, while others are still a bit green on it.

Here all Finland's JGP (and GP) spots. All the replaced skaters have their chance later.

Hope Ted does the commentary and does his usual excellent job with the Jrs. Except for news and the awards at the olys, I can not honestly tell you the last time I watched TV at home, except I did order the DVD "Yak in the classroom" and watched that.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Is anyone (else) going? I'm planning to be there - first JGP in several years (but I have 3 planned this year - Riga, Ostrava and Ljubljana). The only time I was in Riga before, Trennt Michaud was there with Evelyn Walsh as a junior (2017), and his sister came for the free program with several other Canadian soldiers stationed there with NATO forces. Riga has perhaps my favourite market anywhere - it's HUGE.
