Junior Worlds Pairs Preview

The Russians dominated the Junior Grand Prix this season and swept the podium at the JGP Final.  However, two of the Russian teams that stood on the podium at the Final will not be competing here and two other Russian teams will be trying to earn their spots on the podium.

Not qualifying for this event are Davankova and Deputat, who won the reigning Junior Worlds Bronze Medalists, won the silver medal at the JGPF and have the 2nd best total score of the season; Vigalova and Zakroev, JGPF silver medalists and who have the 3rd best total score of the season; Aaron and Settlage who have the 9th best total score of the season; and Purich and Arcieri who have the 10th best total score of the season.

Yu and Jin are the only medalists from last years Junior Worlds competition to return and have had an uneven season.  They only medaled at one of their JGP assignments and finished 5th at the Final.  They have several seasons of junior experience and have even competed on the senior Grand Prix.  That should give them an advantage along with their throws and twists the Chinese are known for.

Fedorova and Miroshkin swept the junior circuit this year.  They won the JGP Final by a 6 point margin and hold the highest scores of the season.  They made significant improvements between their JGP assignments and the Final and if they have done the same since December they could put up a big score.

Purdy and Marinaro won two golds on the Junior Grand Prix but finished 4th at the Final.  They finished 5th at Junior Worlds last season and have a good shot at the podium.  They have good lines and a beautiful style on the ice.  There is not a big height difference between the two which makes some of the elements more difficult and they do not attempt a triple twist.

Jones and Beharry are a new Canadian team this year and have done well in their first season together.  They won two medals on the JGP and finished 6th at the Final.  They both have experience with other partners and have gelled together quickly.  Beharry competed at Junior Worlds last season but had a disappointing result.  Since they are aging out of juniors after this season, this is their last chance to make it to the Junior Worlds podium.  

Gainetdinova and Bich surprised at Russian nationals last year and qualified for Junior Worlds despite never competing on the Junior Grand Prix.  While they didn't win a medal in their two assignments this season they showed huge improvements between Lake Placid and Croatia.  They should easily be able to break into the top 10 this season.  

Tarasova and Morozov finished 5th in their only JGP assignment but have the 2nd best short program score of the season.  If they can replicate that short program performance and clean up their free skate they can make the podium.    

Prolss and Blommaert have been tearing up the junior B circuit since their JGP assignments.  She also competes internationally in singles and has done well, showing the quality of her jumps.  

Two US teams are looking to make their mark.  Simpson and Blackmer seemed to be hitting a bit of a sophomore slump after they failed to win a JGP medal after winning a medal at the Final last season.  However, they put out solid programs at US nationals to win the junior title.  Denney and Frazier finished 4th at last year's Junior Worlds and recently competed as seniors at US nationals.  They only competed at JGP USA this season due to injuries and seem to be back to top form.

Gold: Fedorova/Miroshkin
Silver: Purdy/Marinaro
Bronze: Yu/Jin
