There is only one event left in this season's Junior Grand Prix - it will take place in Italy later this week. It will determine the final qualifiers in three disciplines for the JGP Final in December. The standings in pairs have already been finalized with a Canadian pair among the official alternates: http://www.isuresults.com/events/jgp2017/jgpspairs.htm

Check the current standings in the other three here:

Those qualifying for two disciplines in the Junior GPF have now been determined:

• Pairs (four of the six couples represent RUS with one from AUS & one from CHN) - http://www.isuresults.com/events/jgp2017/jgpspairs.htm

• Ice Dance (four of the six couples represent RUS with one from the USA & one from CAN) - http://www.isuresults.com/events/jgp2017/jgpsdance.htm

The qualifiers in the final two disciplines, ladies & men, will be determined in competition in Italy tomorrow.

I've been thinking that the JR GPF won't look much different than Russian Nationals.
I hope the SR GPF doesn't follow suite. To me, it is sad when we see one or two countries dominating all events.

With the men finished in Italy, here are the qualifiers for the Junior GPF: http://www.isuresults.com/events/jgp2017/jgpsmen.htm
Six qualifiers - 3 from the USA, 2 from RUS, and 1 from JPN with a CDN as the first alternate (after losing the tiebreaker for 6th spot).

And now the official results for the ladies: http://www.isuresults.com/events/jgp2017/jgpsladies.htm
Of the 6 qualifiers, we have 5 from RUS and 1 from JPN!!

That means that 15 of the 24 qualifiers for the Junior GPF will represent RUS, unless an alternate slips in
