Isabel Drescher was offered NT but she reclined

Would be a bit hard to do the JGP in GBR and Nebelhorn Trophy within a few days. At changing the whole training and competition plan on short notice is never a good idea!

[Nomad]

How about Shira Willner?

[sandra_persch]

How about Shira Willner?

She was removed from the entry list for the JGP in GER (17-Sep-10) and if I remember correctly there was a rumor going around about injury too.

[Nomad]

That's too bad. Didn't she withdraw from Euros this year due to injury as well?

[Eislauffan]

She didn't withdraw, but she missed the final cut, if I remember correctly.

[Nomad]

Thanks. I must be confusing her with someone else, then.

[Jeschke]

so it´s time to bring dytrt back on the scene

but i think her programs aren´t ready and she is neither.
i will be so excited about seeing her 'comeback'.

[Jeschke]

So, Savchenko/Szolkowy revealed their new programs and plans for the future.
The SP will be a russian-hungarian folklore based music, the FS will be to Pink Panther.
There were no words about jumps and highlights of the program.

Savchenko said, that they want to win europeans and worlds and after that to decide, if they will go on until sotchi.
maybe they will take a break and come back 2014, but let´s see and wait.

With all the new pairs this season it won`t be easy. The new Russian pairs will be very strong as will the Chinese, So they will have to be inovative and stronger than the rest of the world who have started to copy their very unique style of presentation

I honestly don't think they will have trouble winning Europeans, their biggest competition will be K/S and with all the trouble they have been having with injuries this summer they may not be 100% by then.

Worlds is another story the Chinese will be strong as well as K/S and V/T have 6 months to get it together (and they'll need it). Don't count out D/D and the US pairs either I see them as being a much bigger threat than any new Russian team.

Please skating Gods there be pink spandex again!

Please skating Gods there be pink spandex again!

Hopefully Aliona has a lot of leftover shiny pink spandex from the Lost in Space costumes

Too bad that she'll probably want to be in pink and not Robin

As I had a look at Donlan/ Speroff on you tube, I must say I can`t remember seeing such an elegant pair on the ice for the US in a long time. If they manage toget better on their jumps they are one of the US top pairs.

Tryout Video of Martin Liebers with Anzhelika Pylkina

[Hedwig]

Oh, I hope this pair will work out. I was so sad to see Pylkina/Hogner split, I liked them very much.

honestly, I'm not really convinced by their fs music choice...but maybe I'm prejudiced and loads of pink spandex will change my mind .

It's mostly interviews, you hardly see any skating sadly.

You see spread eagle into a lift (which they did before), dance lift with changes of pos into 3toes (which is new and awesome), step out from throw 3flip and short bits of other elements.

[julieann]

I read in an interview they are working on a quad flip
