JGP Slovakia Ladies Preview

Karen Chen won the bronze medal at her JGP debut in Latvia.  After a stellar short program, she admitted that the nerves got to her and she struggled a bit in her free skate.  She has the triple + triple combinations that are needed to succeed at the junior level and a grace and execution on the ice that exceed her years.  She can likely guarantee herself a spot in the Final with a gold or a silver medal while a bronze would keep her in contention.

Barbie Long finished just ahead of Chen at US Nationals last season and won a silver medal in her JGP debut last season.  She has an elegant style on the ice but hasn't always been able to put together two clean programs and live up to her full potential.  

Riona Kato has not competed on the JGP since 2011, but has done well in her B assignments and could be a real contender here and should be able to significantly increase her personal best.

Hae Jin Kim has been very inconsistent over the past season, but has the potential for great things.  She took home a gold medal from JGP Slovenia last season.  However, she scored 30 points lower at Junior Worlds and placed 19th.  

Serafima Sakhanovich is making her JGP debut at this event.  She nearly made the podium as a senior at Russian nationals last year and gained acclaim for her triple + triples.  After the other Russian ladies have impressed at the first two events, she'll need to do the same here to maintain her momentum.

My podium predictions:
Gold: Serafima Sakhanovich
Silver: Karen Chen
Bronze: Barbie Long
