Haven't found a link for the non-Challenger entries - maybe @cholla or @Nmsis can assist?

Can they beat the Lithuanians is the burning question.

 

[Karen-W]

Can they beat the Lithuanians is the burning question.

That's the matchup of this competition. Could tell us a lot about the trajectories of both teams for this season.

Re-posting here from the USFS International Assignments thread:

The junior Trophee Metropole Nice assignments are up on the USFS website:

Ladies: Alayna Coats, Jessica Jurka, Teryn Kim
Men: Nicholas Brooks, Lorenzo Elano, Vaclav Vasquez
Dance: Stapert/Korotcov, Renzi/Lissauer

This will be the junior international debuts outside the USA for all but R/L who competed at JGP Ostrava.

Skate Canada posted their junior international entries (1 man & 2 women on the NextGen team) for Nice a few days ago: https://skatecanada.ca/events/#international
Parker Heiderich (his international debut; was 4th at Novice Nationals last season)
Reese Rose
Aleksa Volkova

I’ve searched all the way through Nice and I don’t know if this has been discussed but it’s safe to assume that Madison and Evan and Piper and Paul are not doing challengers this season?

Not through CS Ten and CS Budapest…and CS Nice after that, as you say. The others are at the time of SrGP events.

That this is a serious question puts death in my soul.

Well, BecGuar are competing the week before at Shanghai Trophy, so I sort of expected them to WD since their first GP is SCI (2 weeks after Budapest); and ChtWoz are entered at Diamond Spin Sr B (week after Budapest); so it may very well be a situation where GamKor were the only team left and the event was cancelled.

I'm not seeing an updated competitor list since the last one @Karen-W linked (dated Sept 25) - pairs is not part of the Challenger event, so it's in the other area of the listing (I'm still hoping to see a schedule for the event posted - what was in the announcement is incredibly vague, and it's a lot of skating to fit into 3 days in one rink with the junior/non-Challenger events - there are 2 rinks, but one says for practices)

The entry list PDF says "as of 9/25" but it was updated again on 9/27. When I initially provided the link there were 3 Sr Pairs teams listed - they are, as @farahfan correctly noted, no longer listed. It could be an oversight or it could be an indication the Sr Pairs event was canceled.

Given that it's not even 7am in Central Europe yet, we may not know for several hours or possibly even Tuesday/Wednesday, if this is an error or if the pairs teams listed are going to be competing elsewhere that week (Tayside Trophy is the same weekend) or the following week (Diamond Spin & Trophee Metropole Nice are both scheduled to include Sr Pairs).

Tayside currently has 8 teams listed and there may be a waiting list to add another team if the organizers don't want to add another warmup group. Diamond Spin has 5 teams and could easily add another team like GamKor without affecting the number of warmup groups. And we have yet to see the non-CS Metropole Nice entries.

 

[kalamalka]

Weird. When I opened it from the Hunskate website earlier this evening, I'd swear I saw the pairs list, but you're both right, they're not there.

 

[Belsornia]

Is there a schedule for the Denis Ten Memorial yet?

 

[Sylvia]

Is there a schedule for the Denis Ten Memorial yet?

MEN – Short Program

Friday, October 4, 2024
10:30 ICE DANCE – Short Dance
WOMEN – Free Skating
Victory Ceremony WOMEN

Saturday, October 5, 2024
10:00 MEN – Free Skating
ICE DANCE – Free Dance

Please note: This schedule is subject to changes and will be updated in accordance with the final
number of entries.

Fingers crossed for free livestreaming here, as in the past: https://www.youtube.com/@denistenforever9324/streams

KAZ is 9 hours ahead of Eastern time.

 

[Karen-W]

I asked on their latest IG post if they had a results link. They've spent way more time promoting the exhibition at the end of the competition than they have promoting the competition itself.

 

[Rukia]

Someone on tumblr pointed out that lala aren't listed under Budapest Trophy or talked about in this Skate Canada post. Hopefully just an oversight?

That would be a pretty weird oversight.

 

[Rukia]

That would be a pretty weird oversight.

I agree but also I want to see them skate lol

 

[BlueRidge]

I agree but also I want to see them skate lol

Yes and I especially don't want them to be withdrawing due to any injury/health issues.

 

[BlueRidge]

well and they have withdrawn according to @Sylvia's post in their cheer thread. but expect to be ready for Skate Canada. Please ?

GamKor just said they are competing at Nice. Looking forward to that entry list!

 

[Frau Muller]

….Diamond Spin has 5 teams and could easily add another team like GamKor without affecting the number of warmup groups. And we have yet to see the non-CS Metropole Nice entries.

A couple of Qs here:

Are there two Metropole Nice events - a CS edition snd a non-CS version?

The CS edition’s entries list is here: https://results.isu.org/events/fsevent00120594.htm

Who are “GamKor”? I need an FSU CouplesAcronym List.

Thanks, in advance.

I figured out what is Diamond Spin by Googling.

Yes, there is a non-Challenger pairs event at Nice. Hase/Volodin and Gamez/Korovin confirmed their attendance, I don't know who else as the non-Challenger list is not out. Sorry for the confusion.
