Combo from hell

I had the exact opposite reaction: match made in heaven!

Imagine the costumes, music, and wtf choreography! Can't wait!

OES pairs who have split since Worlds (one partner is listed on icepartnersearch.com):

Ioulia Chtchetinina (SUI): http://icepartnersearch.com/showbio.php?i=5938
Her ISU bio with Noah Scherer (they competed in SP at past 2 Worlds): http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00035156.htm

Swiss skating federation published their split announcement on May 16th: http://www.swissiceskating.ch/de/ku...cherer-beenden-gemeinsame-sportliche-karriere
( Google translation )

Both athletes emphasize their desire to continue their careers with new partners. However, the dream of an Olympic participation has now shifted back for at least 4 years.
The couple makes personal differences the main reason for the separation. In such a close collaboration between two couples, the chemistry must also be right. However, this was not the case in the last few months, which forced the couple to take this step.

Emilia Simonen (FIN) who competed at Helsinki Worlds in her first season of pair skating with Matthew Penasse: http://icepartnersearch.com/showbio.php?i=5918

I posted in the Finnish news thread last week that Penasse has teamed with Liubov Efimenko (she has represented Finland internationally in singles since 2012): https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/in...ting-news-part-iii.94042/page-10#post-5074710

IDC published this Q&A with Poland’s Natalia Kaliszek & Maksym Spodyriev before the start of Helsinki Worlds: http://www.ice-dance.com/site/q-a-with-polands-kaliszek-spodyriev/

Italy's Daniel Grassl (15 yo, competes on the Jr GP circuit) is working on the 4Lo. I've seen him at shows and he's a good performer too.

Wow has Daniel Grassl grown...I watched a spring competition last year and he was so small but really good and a terrific performer..Now that he has grown his ice coverage and power in his jumps must be amazing...I can't wait to see him this fall.

First time I saw Ton Consul. He looks very promising. I hope he finds a good partner.
