Fred's, (Used to be Barb's), Board

Skate America was the final event in the Senior GP and as each of the disciplines was completed we found out who the 6 qualifiers and 3 alternates were in each one.

• Senior Men: http://www.isuresults.com/events/gp2017/gpsmen.pdf
• Senior Ladies: http://www.isuresults.com/events/gp2017/gpsladies.pdf
• Senior Pairs: http://www.isuresults.com/events/gp2017/gpspairs.pdf
• Senior Ice Dance: http://www.isuresults.com/events/gp2017/gpspairs.pdf

The question now, of course, is will any of the qualifiers opt out of competing, especially with the need to fly to Japan in this very busy Olympic season.

Qualifiers and alternates for the Junior Grand Prix Final which will also take place in Nagoya:

The first day of the GPF competition is done - did anyone watch any of it? I'm away from home and staying with a friend so haven't been able to watch.

I haven't watched anything, but looked at the results - veerrry interesting.
