JGP Czech Republic Dance Preview

There are four teams competing here that are still in the running for the Final.  Edwards and Pang started their season with a silver medal at JGP Mexico.  They won the free skate at that event and nearly claimed the gold with one of the best free skate scores of the season.  The Parsons siblings also claimed a silver medal this season at JGP Slovakia.  Popova and Vlasenko just took home the silver medal from Belarus last week after pulling up from a 3rd place short dance.  They come in with the biggest disadvantage as they won't have time to tinker with their levels, especially in the short dance.  All three teams need a gold medal to guarantee a spot int he Final, while a silver or bronze would keep them in the running.

Evdokimova and Bazin won the bronze medal earlier this season at JGP Mexico after a 4th place short dance and a 3rd place free dance but they finished more than 20 points behind Edwards and Pang.  They'll have quite an uphill battle to catch the other three top teams here.  They need a gold medal to qualify for the Final while a silver will keep them in contention.

Gold: Edwards/Pang
Silver: Parsons/Parsons
Bronze: Popova/Vlasenko

JGP Czech Republic Pairs Preview

Five of the seven teams are still in the running for the Final here, although for three teams it's quite a long shot.  Gainetdinova and Bich took home their first Junior Grand Prix medal along with their first gold from Belarus last week.  They won both segments of the competition and finished 11 points ahead of their nearest competition.  They need a gold, silver or bronze to guarantee their spot in the Final while a 4th or 5th place finish would keep them in the running.

Fedorova and Miroshkin won gold at the Final last year and are one event away from qualifying for the Final again this season.  They took home the silver medal from JGP Slovakia after finishing 2nd in both segments of the competition.  They also had a personal best short program in Slovakia.  They need a gold or silver medal to punch their ticket to the Final while a bronze or 4th place finish keep them in the running.

Liu/Perini, Chernivskaia/Souza-Kordyeru and Seguin/Bilodeau all took home 5th place finishes from their first events this season.  Liu and Perini had a 7th place short program but a 4th place free skate in Slovakia giving them a slight advantage as they have greater room to improve.  All three teams need a gold medal to keep themselves in contention for the Final.

My podium predictions:
Gold: Fedorova/Miroshkin
Silver: Gainetdinova/Bich
Bronze: Liu/Perini

Bios of the competitors:
Seguin/Bilodeau, CAN: They placed 5th at JGP Belarus.  Their personal best is 127.42.

Duskova/Bidar, CZE: They placed 9th at JGP Slovakia.  Their personal best is 101.90.  She is 13 and he is 14.

Lesser/Kremke, GER: This is their JGP debut.  She is 15 and he is 20.

Chernivskaia/Souza-Kordyeru, RUS: They placed 5th at JGP Latvia.  Their personal best is 128.79.  She is 14 and he is 20.

Fedorova/Miroshkin, RUS: They are the reigning World Junior Bronze Medalists.  They won silver at JGP Slovakia.  Their personal best is 161.11.  She is 15 and he is 19.

Gainetdinova/Bich, RUS: They placed 8th at Junior Worlds last season.  They won gold at JGP Belarus.  Their personal best is 142.38.  She is 15 and he is 20.

JGP Czech Republic Ladies Preview

There are four ladies still in contention for the Junior Grand Prix Final here.  Alexandra Proklova won the silver medal at her JGP debut in Slovakia.  She won the free skate at that event and was only a few points away from the gold medal.  Maria Sotskova also won the silver medal at her JGP debut in Latvia.  After winning the short program, she finished 2nd in the free skate but it wasn't enough to hang on for the gold medal.  Angela Wang took home the silver medal from JGP Poland.  It was her first silver and her third consecutive JGP medal, although she did not set any personal best scores.  These ladies can all punch their ticket to the Final with a gold medal while a silver or a bronze would keep them in the running.

Riona Kato won the bronze medal at JGP Slovakia behind Proklova, making a significant jump from her 11th place finish a year prior.  She needs a gold medal to qualify while a silver will keep her in the running.

Kaori Sakamoto is making her JGP debut after winning the Asian Figure Skating Trophy earlier this season.  Her score there puts her firmly in contention for the podium here.

Amber Glenn is also making her JGP debut.  She finished 5th at US Nationals right behind Karen Chen last season.  If she can replicate Chen's results, she also has a great shot at the podium.

My podium predictions:
Gold: Alexandra Proklova
Silver: Riona Kato
Bronze: Maria Sotskova

JGP Czech Republic Men's Preview

Four men competing here are still in the running for the JGP Final.  Keiji Tanaka started his season with a gold medal at JGP Slovakia.  He struggled with his free skate, finishing just 3rd in that segment.  He can qualify for the Final with a gold, silver or bronze medal while a 4th place finish would keep him in the running.  He's been to the Final each of the past two seasons, finishing 6th both times.

Alexander Petrov took home the silver medal from JGP Poland, although he nearly reached 200 points at that event.  He needs a gold medal to qualify for the Final while a silver or a bronze will keep him in the running.  He has never qualified for the Final and is chasing his third career JGP medal here.

Daniel Samohin competed for the US last season and switched to Israel for this year.  He surprised many by winning the bronze medal at his first assignment at JGP Mexico.  He needs a gold medal to qualify for his first Final while a silver medal will keep him in contention.

Alexander Samarin had a disappointing start to his season.  After winning two bronze medals on the JGP last season, he finished just 4th last week at JGP Belarus.  He didn't have much time to make adjustments to his programs, so he'll need to focus on skating cleanly.  He needs a gold medal to keep himself in contention for the Final.

My podium predictions:
Gold: Alexander Petrov
Silver: Keiji Tanaka
Bronze: Alexander Samarin
