| Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating 2001, The Hague (NED) |
The Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating series continues with the fourth of seven international qualifying events, starting today in The Hague (NED) until October 27, 2001. The full list of entries is attached and final and immediate results of the competition are available directly from the ISU Internet site on ww2.isu.org .
72 entries from 27 ISU Members will be competing in The Hague, which is the second event for a few of the skaters and couples on the list. Therefore, this will be their last chance to qualify for the Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final.
One contender to look out for is Kevin van der Perren from Belgium, who enters the Men's event in the Hague with thirteen points after clinching a silver medal in Ostrava (CZE) five weekends ago. In the Pairs category, Julia Shapiro/ Dimitri Khromin (RUS), winners of the first event of the series that was held in Bulgaria will be trying to repeat this victory. While in the Ice Dance event, the Ukrainian couple, Julia Golovina/ Oleg Voiko, leads the field with 15 points after winning the gold medal in Ostrava.
At each of the seven events, the top skaters are awarded points and prize money made available by the ISU. The top 8 Men, Ladies, Pairs and Dance Couples in the overall standings will qualify to compete at the Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final to be held in Bled (SLO) on December 13-16, 2001. The total prize money, amounting to US$ 105.000,00 for the Junior Grand Prix Final, will be awarded to the top six skaters in each category.
