Junior pairs aren't appearing on the event schedule - does anyone know what time they're on (and if there'll be a stream of the juniors/seniors events?)

dorispulaski · Sep 1, 2025

There has not been a stream from those events in the past, but videos have been posted by a nice person in the past

The MId Atlantic's NQS pairs are running at the same rink on the same days.

Here is the schedule. Thanks to @yuki@thelake

She also reports that this YouTube channel covered the event in the past:

Mikichka Figure Skater

A New York City based figure skating coach, competitive adult figure skater in singles and pairs, also ice events organizer. Skate with Riedell Fusion + Paramount blade (with pattern 99 profile). I was born and grew up in Tokyo, Japan. I started learning figure skating at age over 30 years old...

Juniors are done, and I'm not surprised Moss/Galbavy are at the top. I didn't know Herrera/Khobta, and that's some pretty impressive short program score. Are they doing any JGP? They should.

Last-minute addition, Baylen TAICH / Nickolai APTER, who were added after the split of Maravilla/Carpenter, didn't do quite well. Wonder how they even got added into the ISP through video submission with those TES scores. Will see how they will do in the free skate. Nice to see some new blood in US junior pairs but development may take longer.

They only teamed up this year. And they're assigned to JGP in Gdansk, the list came out earlier today.

The only question I have is why they weren't assigned to two JGPs as originally intended (when their partnership was announced, it was announced they'd be sent to JGP Bangkok and JGP Gdansk), because if they skate as well in the Free as they did in the Short, they'd be medal contenders, possibly even JGPF qualifier contenders.

The Ukrainian Skating Fed pulled the same stunt with Holichenko/Darenskyi last season and they probably could have made it to the JGPF as well.
