The time and practice schedule for Event #2: http://results.isu.org/schedules/jgpcze ... hedule.pdf

We heard on today's live stream broadcast that Mark Hanretty, after being trained while working beside Ted Barton in Courcheval, will be taking the hosting & commentating for this event on his own. Ted has a "national event" commitment in Canada that conflicts.

The links for each of the events are now available on the ISU Junior GP YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbv3gs ... Ct2JGySfJA

The times that appear by each event should be "local" to your time zone.

The Entries/Start Orders/Results link is now available: http://www.isuresults.com/results/seaso ... gpcze2022/

Both the start orders and detailed time schedules are already available for the Junior Men and Junior Pairs. I expect the Junior Women to be added soon

The event kicked off at 5:30 a.m. EDT with the Jr. Men SP and the Pairs SP is now about to start. Mark Hanretty is on his own this week with Ted back in Canada and apparently involved with the high performance/national team camp.

I enjoyed watching the Men's event today. There's a lot of talent there!

The detailed time schedule for the Junior Women (6 hours ahead of EDT): http://www.isuresults.com/results/seaso ... hTimes.pdf

For those who are interested in such things, Ravia Walia, a well-known Canadian coach, is serving as one of the two Technical Specialists for the Jr Women at this event. You may notice that there is no longer a Technical Specialist and an Assistant TS - this was one of the changes approved at the meeting in Thailand earlier this year.


***********************


The Jr Women FS is now "history". Our Canadian skater finished just out of the top 10. The top 3 are well worth watching when their individual program videos are available on the YouTube channel.
