It's that time again! 2018 post-canadians annual pairs and dance splits (and retirements post Olys)

WD Shalena Rau / Johann Wilskinson ON - SPLIT

I just noticed that Johann Wilkinson is on IPS and wants to skate for South Africa so they are done.

So many talented pair boys out there. I keep waiting for Boudreau-Audet to pick up with a Canadian girl.

@Rock2 already commented on the potential of this happening in the Canadian Pairs thread (after Boudreau-Audet announced the end of his partnership with Sumire Suto and thanked JSF for their support over the years on his Instagram on March 3rd).

Vanessa Chartrand / Alexander Seidel (Senior ice dance, 10th place at 2018 Canadians) - Vanessa recently listed herself on IPS.

I can see W/P staying until 2020. The downside is that unlike last cycle they will have at least the French and the Shibs blocking their international progress. So, I'm not sure what another low level international champ medal will do for their resume or feelings of accomplishment. But if it feels worth it, I say keep going.

I think they are an example of skaters who do it for the love of it. They lived in V/M's shadow for so many years, and their World silver is probably as good as it's going to get for them. Yet, they press on.

I have a lot of respect for W&P and look forward to seeing them grow in future.

that is so sad...does anyone know why? They did do really well this yr. I would have preferred Fabri and Pet. had gone to Junior worlds but for their 2nd int'l outing Elliot and Olivia you really can't complain.

Elliott Graham has announced his retirement. And another one bites the dust.

Nooooo. I was excited to see him and Olivia develop. Loved watching them this season. I hope she can find a partner to continue with.

I just rematched their SD and FD from JW and decided they were overmarked at Canadian nationals. Seems to me that Ellie Fisher and Simon Mallet-P looked MUCH better even though she made a swizzle mistake in the SD. I didn't get the judging of McIsaac & Graham nationally (I didn't think they'd have much of an impact at the senior level) and now SC has wasted a JW spot on a team that's kaput!

You decided they were overmarked at Canadians based on their skates at a different competition? That's rather silly.

F/MP were ~3.5 points out of 2nd. Compared to the twizzles they did in the FD, they lost 5.28 points with that mistake. That's not the judges fault. Also, they came 4th. Stairs/Royer were first in line for JW after M/G.

Forgot about Stairs & Royer but guess what, they're done too! Actually they were another team that I felt was a bit overmarked nationally.

Pietrantonio/Fabbri. She's on partner search... not surprising considering the age difference and the way she behaved in the K&C at Nationals!!

The most troublesome thing about their partnership was the lack of size difference between them. It was never going to work.

It was going to work as long as it was supposed to: up till the end of this season as he ages out and she was 14 at nationals and has now turned 15. Her behaviour was prob.because it was her first time being totally thrown under the bus by judges. With their stellar reception by international judges this yr. in spite of the lack of difference in their sizes it might have been a shock.

Pietranonio is a beautiful skater. I hope he can find a senior age-eligible shorter partner, if he's planning to continue.

He is also very strong. I think he is continuing as they both went on partner search within a day of each other and both are not willing to relocate.
 
Both Francis Boudreau-Audet and Olivia McIsaac have updated IPS profiles.

Neither Fabbri nor Pietrantonio are still listed on IPS.

that is definitely new for her. I looked about a week ago to see if any changes and all was the same. Now it says she removed her biography. I did not check his after it went up. I wonder what that means. Does anybody have info?

I believe she is may still be dealing with issues from dislocated shoulder from Jan.

When i messed up my shoulder (dislocations)before they knew about the breakages and they put my arm in a sling and I was not supposed to use it except for eating...a low lateral movement for 8 weeks. It could be a while before they are competing for sure.
