I'm sorry to lose Atl, but I think this was the likely outcome since the split with Ashlie, and probably a good move for him. IIRC he may have some German background through his mother. I don't really recall Mia Lee Mayer with her previous partners, but hopefully she's up for some interesting...

From Aboian/Veselukhin's post, it looks like Dimitry Chaplin choreographed their RD and Oksana Grishuk choreographed their FD. I'm now looking forward to seeing this programme even more:encore: https://www.instagram.com/p/DMGOkkrRTTj/

Ritchie/McLeod are also still together so I think they’re a good shout for a JGP spot too, given his experience. We actually have 6 junior pairs at the moment. :eek: But Dracas/Wright would have to have progressed substantively in the last 6 months to be at JGP level. And novice champs...

Neary’s partner is Jonathan Young. Skating Scores tells me that he competed in juniors at US nationals three seasons ago, and I think he had a Swedish partner last season but don’t recall them making it to competition. Neary/Young competed at the Dallas Classic this weekend so they’re already...

I'm surprised to see Solomon Williamson in the mix, since at least as of the British Championships he didn't appear to have triples beyond loop. But he does have a lot of TikTok followers... It will be interesting to see who gets the men's assignments, especially now we're down to three spots...

The new tagline is clunky and meaningless, but in my head I can already hear Mark Hanretty saying it while making heart hands.

I guess at least it's not a sibling team...

She had surgery on her back: https://www.instagram.com/p/DLFQIr0so2S/?img_index=1 I hope she can make a full and quick recovery - I'm pulling for her to get the Olympic spot. Looks like she has the same sports physio who worked with Penny Coomes during her comeback from her knee injury. Other...

They switched to the UK. :lol:

The competition schedule has now been published: Tuesday 13 January: Official Practice Day Wednesday 14 January: Pairs Short Program - Opening Ceremony - Women Short Program Thursday 15 January: Men Short Program - Pairs Free Skate Friday 16 January: Ice Dance Rhythm Dance - Women’s Free Skate...

Isn’t Shimada too old for the JGP? He’s already 23.

I hope they have their new programmes before they leave for Montreal. :shuffle:

Looks like one less team will be booking a flight to Beijing: Katarina DelCamp and Berk Akalin are moving on to show skating (his retirement post, learning adagio tricks). Irmak Yucel and Danil Pak are age eligible for seniors so Türkiye may still have a team, but I think they'd be advised to...

Nice to see the solo dance calendar (or “other competitions for special groups of skaters”) expanding.
