Anyone know what's up with Ramanauskaite/Kizala? They withdrew from Worlds with injury and haven't competed yet this season.

After seeing their great FD at Bolero Cup, Cui/Rogers seem more than ready for a Challenger. A bit surprised that there is nothing for the Peals though, not even one of the PAYG B events. They had some decent scores in Lake Placid and their summer competitions.

And Hairsine/Surenkov-Gultchev's ISU bio now lists them as representing Bulgaria. I'm always sorry to lose skaters, but this is likely a good move for them. They're probably capable of getting their tech minimums, at least for Euros, but I think are more likely to get overtaken by the new teams...

Solène Mazingue and Geoffrey Brissaud have started a podcast (youtubecast?) too, where they are discussing "entrepreneurship, sports, real-life experiences, and the stories that shape us" (in French). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FBFBMhOMK0 I only listened to the first part, where Solène is...

BIS have published an updated list today and Bushell/Peña are now in (Hairsine/Surenkov-Gultchev are not). Bethan Whiteman in senior women and Tallulah Bowers and Alex Knox in junior women are now listed as Q instead of R.

You can now buy pyjamas with pictures of Fear/Gibson on them, if you really want. (Holly Marler, Cath Kidston's creative director, is junior ice dancer Mimi Marler Davies's mum.)

ISU bio already updated; it’s now She’s Got Issues by The Offspring. A speedy music edit ready for GPdF.

According to Maya Bagriantseva’s Telegram, Davis/Smolkin have also been told that the Destiny’s Child section of their RD is not “high energy” enough and are having to change it out. :rolleyes:

Anthony (and Michael Parsons) can unfortunately be case studies for any ice dance guys thinking they’ll try to compete through an injury.

Such a bummer for Tali/Lafornara - not the way anyone wants to start their senior career. :( But now that the second spot in Milano is gone, this season is largely pressure off for them, so I'm glad they're taking the time he needs to recover. Hopefully they'll be back in time for SA, or at...

The provisional entry list is out for the British Championships (25-30 November in - of course - Sheffield) even though the final dance qualifier doesn't take place for another few weeks. Full list on Sportity * Performance Squad bye Senior Women (8 spots) Kristen Spours (Swindon) * Nina Povey...

One of the teams from Barbara's group already got dinged with a music violation at Bolero Cup for not being sufficiently uptempo, so they'd have no excuse for making that error. Maybe they're using a remix (or have adjusted the tempo :scream: ). OTOH, props to them for choosing music that is...

My Love Will Never Die is my favourite Guignard/Fabbri programme too. I think it worked because it was far enough outside of their wheelhouse to challenge them, but not so far outside that they never got comfortable with it (like the robots). I thought they had one of the better latin RDs that...

There were some really rough junior dance splits this last year, but things are now looking exciting for Germany with Kishimoto/Savitskiy, Grimm/Rodin and Meyer/Ongay-Perez.
