Thank you! Very informative.

Thank you! Very informative.
They might; we'll have to wait and see. That's why I said SC "may be the hardest", not "will be." This is speculation, but it's pretty clear that W/P are not going to get COR because Russia will take Bobrova/Soloviev out of the 4-6 group. IMO, W/P would be unlikely to beat Shibs at SA or P/C in France. COC and NHK are both neutral sites, but what are the odds that W/P get both of those competitions. Skate Canada or W/P's team might decide they want W/P to compete for an "easyish" silver at home.

I hadn't seen that, but not too surprising after Thomas/Eaton withdrew from US Nationals.

Daniel Eaton posted a message on his Facebook before U.S. Nationals that mentioned his split (believe it happened in late fall) that was re-posted here: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/in...eason-news-updates.98743/page-10#post-4968608

Yes, Daniel got release to skate a couple of weeks ago and is starting partner search. He has dual Canadian/United States Citizenship and has been competing for Team USA since 2010.
Happy Easter to everyone

A release with dual citizenship is terrific news, especially given how depleted the Canadian senior Dance rank is right now, after the top three.

Hell yes!!The Shibs are the only American dance team that will be seeded next season.Both Chock/Bates and Hubbell/Donohue are going to be at the mercy of the draw next season. This makes the two non-Shibutanis spots at Skate America very interesting. Does USFS send either Chock/Bates and Hubbell/Donohue with the purpose of having them contend with Shibs and see who comes out on top? Do they send either C/B or H/D to have them squashed by the Shibs to signal that Shibs are the definitive U.S. #1? Do they send two of the younger teams like Hawayek/Baker, Pogrebinsky/Benoit, Parsons/Parsons, or McNamara/Carpenter to give the Shibs an easier path to the top and let Chock/Bates and Hubbell/Donohue try to earn GP qualification in away events?

Mackenzie Bent did not have any bad luck with her last partner. She quit skating because she did not want to do it anymore. It had nothing to do with anyone other than her.

Daniel received a medical release to return to training several weeks ago. If Daniel decided to skate for Canada I believe Skate Canada would need to request a release from USFSA before he could compete for Canada instead of for Team USA
I think it is an issue that gets resolved between federations.

Eh, Dmitre was visibly worse than her though. And I hear she is/was trying out with someone else now.

I'll really miss Anastasia and Colin out there -- they really started to hit their stride their last couple of seasons as a team -- that Beethoven FD was special (and not given enough credit by the judges, either domestically or internationally, if you ask me)
I know that she had a tryout with Eaton when he first got back on the ice.
Maia and Alex have been nominated for Team USA Team of the month

^^^ Online voting will end on Monday, May 8.
Here's the separate thread I started on Tuesday night right after I saw this post: Anastasia Cannuscio & Colin McManus announce their retirement from competition

I posted this in Rachel and Michael Parsons' fan thread last month - they were honored by the Montgomery County, Maryland Council for their achievements this season - article with 2 videos: http://www.mymcmedia.org/world-cham...ance-team-recognized-by-county-council-video/
He appears to have taken his profile off IPS. He was a standout in intermediates, IMO. I'd imagine he found someone, but we'll see.

Is that Karen Chen's brother?
Yes. He and Layla Karnes won gold in juvenile dance last year and silver in intermediate dance this season at Nationals.

Such a talented family. Karen Chen, I believe, has the potential to give us some real artistic statements in the upcoming years. She seems to have a real artistic sensibility. I hope her brother is similar in that regard.
He's not Karen, but he has nice line and promising partnering skills, I think.
Karnes & Chen's most recent FD is at the 58 minute mark on the "2017 U.S. Champs Intermediate Free Dance" video on Ice Network:

I'd recommend watching the whole field; however. These are young teams. It's much easier to appreciate the top teams' strengths when you see them back-to-back with other teams at the same competitive level. (The lift at the end of this program, for example, really stood out from the rest of the field among the intermediates).
If you just want to see a cute, blurry program with Karen & her brother from four years ago, I ran across this while I was searching--fruitlessly--for Karnes & Chen's FD on youtube:

That "Anything You Can Do" routine with Karen and Jeffrey was so cute and full of personality. Reminds of Alex and Maia's routine to that except with a lot more single skater elements.

Do we anticipate an entry list for the Chesapeake Open? (June 21-24)
For anyone who wants to hunt through about a thousand coaches' names (there are some serious blasts from the past on this list):
http://comp.entryeeze.com/Home.aspx?cid=293
Avonley Nguyen is listed as one of Shpilband's entries for the Junior FD. The only other name on his list that isn't in a team I recognize is Vadym Kolesnik. Is this her new partner?

I believe so, yes. He used to skate for Ukraine with Zlata Iefymenko as a novice.

Yes, as soon as the groups are published online (soon), we should start a new U.S. Dance thread for the 2017-18 season. I've compiled a partial list that includes a few new Junior teams, in addition to the already known Isabella Amoia/Luca Becker (WISA), Nguyen/Kolesnik mentioned above, Allie Rose/JT Michel, Daria Popova/Cameron Colucci (I believe this is the UKR Daria: http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00054602.htm ) and Nicolette Fey/Caleb Niva.
