Catching Up - ISU JGP Japan, England & Germany

I've been out of the loop on skating events recently. Here's a quick recap of the Junior Grand Prix events over the past few weeks: US Men and ladies have continued to do well taking away a medal in at least one single event each competition. I continue to be interested in this group of juniors Russia has come out with this season. Junior competitors are still growing and maturing, but it seems they have a deep pool of talented skaters to watch.
