OTTAWA, ON (September 17, 2024) – The upcoming ISU Junior Grand Prix in Ankara, Turkey will see five young Canadian skaters make their debuts on the Junior Grand Prix circuit while the pair team of Jazmine Desrochers and Kieran Thrasher will look to climb onto the podium for the second time this season.

The competition, taking place from September 18-21, 2024 is the fourth stop on the Junior Grand Prix circuit.

Coming off a recent silver medal win at the Junior Grand Prix in Latvia, Desrochers and Thrasher will be the team to watch in the pair competition. The duo will be looking to reclaim their place in the Junior Grand Prix Final after taking home the bronze medal from last year’s competition.

The ice dance team of Laurence Brière and Julien Lévesque will look to apply their learnings from their last event in Czechia that saw them finish 12th overall, while Sophia Gover and Billy Wilson-French will make their Junior Grand Prix debut after finishing seventh at the Lake Placid International Dance Competition earlier this season.

The women’s and men’s singles competition will see Megan Woodley, William Chan, and John Kim compete at their first Junior Grand Prix – they placed eighth, 11th and 16th respectively at the Cranberry Cup International this season.
