They are still in Novi. So I guess Camerlengo and Shiplband.

I really liked Hubbell and Donahue's FD. It's fluid, organic and fast and shows off their power, lines and sweeping edges.
The Janet Jackson SD shows a lot of promise. It's chock full of innovative movements, intricate connections and really great footwork, plus it's classic Hubbell and Donahue, as they manage to add an element of sexiness to the dance. I think the (short) dance with it's staccato rhythms and tons of upper body work really challenges Hubbell and Donahue and pulls them out of their comfort zone (which is the FD). They did not look 100% comfortable with their SD at the first competition, but with more mileage, I think it could be a winner.

I don't seem to be able to follow this link. It says there is a problem. Maybe I have to be a member of the link

Yes, the video links are posted in the Kiss'n Cry area that does require membership.

Is there any board rule against posting videos in the non-subscriber area? I can post them here if it's allowed.

We may have Avonley Nguyen & Grigory Smirnov, Sofia Ewoyn Hsu & Vadym Kolesnik and
Emily Bratti & Ian Somerville debut in Blaine?

Wait—is this a different new partner for Kolesnik? I thought he was pairing with a Russian?

I seem to remember that videos are "safer" (i.e., less likely to be taken down for copyright) if they're kept in the Kiss-n-Cry area of the board. I think that's why they're kept in that area of the forum.
@Braulio: Is this correct??

There may have been earlier rumours, but this is the partner reported a few months ago and later confirmed by Vadym. There was a video of them skating together posted in late June.

Since they belong to current season and yes to prevent them being taken down (like the ones I posted first on youtube) I prefer to have them there. Though I don't know if it is a rule per se.

Gotcha.
From Blaine's Event Calendar , there's the 2022 U.S. Figure Skating Championship Series Presented by Toyota scheduled for October 4-10. I'm guessing this is it.
The Event Calendar now reads October 4-8. It also lists Peacock.

Greg Zuerlein posted an Instagram story of Emily Bratti and Ian Somerville practicing so looks like they’re training with him in Canton.

I didn’t know Kolesnick was still going to skate for the U.S either.
Also I hadn’t heard Ian Somerville and his previous partner broke up

Katarina Del Camp skates with Billy Wilson-French in the UK now. But I don't think they ever announced the end of their partnership, they just stopped posting on social media, dropped off the ISP list and then appeared with new partnersI didn’t know Kolesnick was still going to skate for the U.S either.

IAM posted a simulation video on IG of C/B to music that’s been identified as Daft Punk, but then the video was removed. It was reposted by the Team ChockBates account though so it’s still out there. That music doesn’t match what someone had reported on Twitter from Champs Camp, which makes me happy because I wasn’t a fan of those selections.

Has it been removed from the Team ChockBates account as well? I don't see it there anymore. I do like the idea of them doing Daft Punk though. C/B really know how to skate and move to a rhythm.

I feel like they were rumoured to have been doing Daft Punk, so the Champs Camp music rumour was surprising (personally hope the FD music rumour from champs camp is also wrong!!)

I could be wrong, but I thought it was this music.

I remember thinking the FD rumor was a bit questionable because it was the same music C/B used for their show program for the ISU Awards which they specifically introduced as a show program iirc.

I'm inclined to agree with the Daft Punk rumor for C/B's RD since Daft Punk has been on a public playlist in Madi's Spotify for a while.
I feel like I Hear a Symphony is either the free dance or an exhibition. The performance they did for the ISU awards definitely isn't the final version, since there's no twizzle sequence, and a lot of the moves are reused from old programs, where the combination lift is the same one they did from their Fever FD, they did the same step sequence that they used in the Snake Dance, plus they did a lift and reused the ending choreo sequence from their Imagine FD. If it is actually their free dance, I would hope it's more original. There were clips of them performing I Hear a Symphony at the Sun Valley show they did a bit over a month ago, so it's definitely going to be part of their Olympic season to some degree.
