Looks like Gumennik is also there. Zhou looks like the favorite to win especially with Aliev having switched to a different jgp, but I think Artem has a realistic shot at a medal, since gumennik and shimada do not yet have 3As(though it's been on their planned content, I believe). Artem made a good impression skating clean in a deep field last week where there were a number of other impressive performances, so I'm sure he'll score well with another set of decent skates. :hap85:
Shimada has a 3axel, he finished 3rd in JGP France.
I don't think he actually did one in his jgp, unless I missed it.

I've watched his FS over and over since the Yokohama event. Every time I see it, I burst into laughter at him in the KnC zone. He was sitting between his coach and choreographer, but acted very calmly and was poised for analyzing his performance. I have no knowledge of Russian language, but I can feel he wanted to learn something and to review what was good and what was something to make progress; what a total commander there despite his young age.

Will Artem get a 2nd spot? I just can't wait to see him skate again! 
So mature & beautiful skating, and his voice is SOOO Cute...

I read that from the event thread. While I'm delighted for the addition, but also hope that he gets a good result at the following Jr. Nationals, so he can get better (or easier) assignments on JGP. The German event looks very touch to get a medal.
Its not about a medal its about him showing good results, next season will be a different scenario.
Artem is very unique amongst current russian men juniors, with his beautiful lines, skating skills and yeah very charismatic...

Looks like he skated pretty well, judging from the score. Thanks for updating! I missed his skating.

From the thread for 2016 Russian-Chinese youth winter games where Artem won a silver in junior men, I found Artem's pictures.
He is so tiny yet.

ETA: by the way, I saw sneaker who started the fan fest was very enthusiastic about the U.S. president election, especially Clinton. Since then I haven't seem him unfortunately.

Just 3 days! He was born in June 27 2003 unlike Polina Tsurskaya could've not debuted in junior earlier due to her birth 11 days after July 1. I couldn't find any video yet, so hopefully the organizer uploads.

He won the junior event there with two clean programs and earned 205.52. I haven't found any video for his SP and FS though.
