Junior Worlds: Men's Preview

Joshua Farris won a pair of gold medals on the JGP and went on to win the bronze at the Final. He started off the season with a solid short program, increasing his personal best and getting over the 200 point mark. He improved his scores in Estonia but mistakes at the Final dropped him to third overall. After struggling with his free skate all season, he scrapped it and debuted a new program at nationals. He had a messy outing at nationals and failed to cross the 200 point mark. If he hits his programs he could be at the top of the podium but he hasn't shown that consistency yet this season. He has the best short program, 3rd best free skate and 3rd best total score of the season.

Han Yan won a pair of gold medals on the Junior Grand Prix and took home his second consecutive silver medal from the Grand Prix Final. He started off his season crossing the 200 point mark in Austria and had a 14 point improvement in one week in Italy. He made some mistakes in his short program at the Final which cost him a shot at the title. He has a quad in his free skate which gives him a huge competitive edge and if he lands it cleanly, he has a buffer against mistakes later in his program. He has the 2nd best short program, best free skate and best total score of the season.

Jason Brown won a gold and a silver on the JGP to qualify for the Final where he won gold. He won his first Junior Grand Prix gold in Australia and set a new personal best score. He doesn't have a triple axel in his program and has been focusing on components to stay competitive with the other skaters. He won the JGP Final as he skated two clean programs while the other top competitors made mistakes, but if they skate clean he has a huge disadvantage in his technical element score. He was suffering from a tweaked ankle at nationals and had some mistakes on footwork but still crossed the 200 point mark. He has the 3rd best short program, 2nd best free skate and 2nd best total score of the season.

Artur Dmitriev won silver at JGP Poland and beat Joshua Farris in the free skate at that event. After a botched short program at JGP Italy, he finished 23 points below his earlier result and cost himself a spot in the Final. He has the 4th best short program, 4th best free skate and 4th best total score of the season.

Keiji Tanaka is the reigning silver medalist at this event and the only returning medalist. He won a silver and a bronze on the JGP to qualify for the Final. His bronze medal in Austria came after a a 19 point drop from his earlier event and he failed to set a new personal best this season. He has the 5th best short program, 6th best free skate and 6th best total score of the season.

Ryuju Hino won a gold and a silver medal on the JGP and qualified for the Final. He showed big improvement taking home his first JGP medal in Latvia and increasing his personal best by 30 points. He has the 8th best short program, 7th best free skate and 7th best total score of the season.

He Zhang won silver at JGP Latvia, taking home his first JGP medal and increasing his personal best by 20 points. In Austria, he dropped 18 points and finished off the medal stand. He has the 10th best short program, 9th best free skate and 8th best total score of the season.

Liam Firus won bronze at JGP Australia but dropped 24 points in his outing in Austria. He has the 10th best free skate and total score of the season.

Denis Ten is a dark horse in this event having competed as a senior all season. He has quads in his programs and has respectable outings including two 5th place finishes on the Grand Prix and a 6th place finish at Four Continents.

Zhan Bush has also competed as a senior all season but on the senior B circuit. He beat out several other Russian men with top junior scores and JGP medals and will be looking to improve on his 11th place finish at this event last season.

Other skaters in the mix include Nam Nguyen who won bronze at JGP Romania, Shoma Uno who won bronze at JGP Estonia, June-Hyoung Lee who won bronze at JGP Italy and Timothy Dolensky who won bronze at JGP Latvia.
