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.
Hi, I'm here! Thanks for the links Elizabeth and Fred thanks for all your work here.

Thanks, nice printing! Whoops, I missed this morning. I'll have to tune in tomorrow and Saturday.

Event #3 takes place in Riga, Latvia this weekend. Competition begins early on Thursday. It will include all four disciplines for the first time this season.
Thanks. It's interesting that there are no Canadians competing in Junior Men at this competition. I've sort of lost track of these events, sort of out of sync, but hopefully there will be some live streaming of say the Autumn Classic.

For this week's event, the Canadian team only includes ice dancers and pairs, as I mentioned above. I believe that the Junior Grand Prix has rules about entries just like the GP does. In addition, Skate Canada has criteria regarding skaters qualifying to compete internationally - some of those pertain to results in summer qualifying events.
The livestream link you've posted here pertains to the Autumn Classic which starts on Thursday. That is part of the Challenger Series not the JGP
The Ondrej Nepala Trophy is also part of the Challenger Series as noted in the thread on that topic. Normally, CEST = Central European Summer Time
I enjoy Joseph Phan's skating and presence on the ice. It's too bad he didn't land the quad at the beginning. I was actually so shocked he didn't as he really is so strong. Now I think it was said he won't be able to qualify for the Grand Prix final?

Canada's Joseph Phan won his first JGP medal today - the silver medal in his second event in Zagreb:
He was 4th in the first JGP event of the season, earning 9 points. With the 13 points for his silver, he has a total of 22 points with 2 more events yet to take place. It might be possible for him to make the final but there are definitely several men who already have 11 to 15 points and who have yet to skate in their second event. The men's standings are here: http://www.isuresults.com/events/jgp2017/jgpsmen.htm
The only man who has definitely "punched his ticket" to the Jr. GPF is Alexei Krasnozhon of the USA who has won two events with the maximum of 30 points.
Canada will be represented at the Jr. GPF in ice dance - with their win in Zagreb, Lajoie & Lagha have "punched their ticket". The 2nd place Russian team will join then in the Final.
Thanks for the explanation Elizabeth! Joseph has a bright future I'm sure.
