While we wait for the Grand Prix (and Junior GP) Final to
get underway later this week, I’ve rounded up all the winners of the “B” events
thus far this fall. Some I’ve discussed in previous posts; some events, such as
Golden Spin of Zagreb (featuring Kim Yu-Na) haven’t happened yet. But in the
interest of checking out all that has been happening around the world (OK, Europe )
in the shadow of GP events, here you go.
Although I’m not including point totals with these
gold-silver-bronze listings, I’ve boldfaced every finish that had a point total
that would have put the skater (in theory, anyway) into the top 10 of their
discipline at 2013 Worlds. There’s not a lot of them—only 12 finishes out of the
60 listed here—but it helps to separate the contenders from the rest of the
pack. Please note that Tomas Verner is
among them. Twice!
By the way, my predictions for the GPF itself will be up... um...
sometime before the first senior event starts. Tick-tock, I know...
