This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

Although I guess we can't really compare a senior event to junior one completely, here are their final point totals in summary...
At GTSA Summer Skate:
Nam: 262.11
Keegan: 242.07
JGP: Stephen 226.63
This will be an interesting Nationals in January. Guess those are "likely" to be the top 3.
Well, off to bed..."early" start tomorrow.
I look forward to being there and won't count out any possibilities at this time - ice is slippery
One really should never compare across events and certainly never between junior and senior - for the latter the program time and the elements are different; looking at the marks between CDN judging panels and international ones brings in yet another element of non-comparison.

Yes, that was what I was meaning and you made a good point about the difference in length of the performances. I think undoubtedly anything could happen.

Well, the first event in this season's JGP is over - champions were identified in all disciplines. The results and detailed protocols are all available here:
http://www.isuresults.com/results/seaso ... gpsvk2018/
The Russian anthem was played 3 times and the Canadian anthem
should have been played once but someone slipped up/lost the audio file!
Here's Ted Barton's interview with the Jr. ladies champion:

You can go to the YouTube channel at any time to see archived videos from Event #1 (Bratislava).

Thanks. That's really horrible about the national anthem. All the Canadians could have sung it together.

It will be like a Junior Russian Nationals - 5 teams from RUS + one from the USA
You can check the standings in the other three disciplines - they are updated after each competition:
