I’m not sure quite what I was expecting by a “helicopter type movement” (maybe some kind of mini-lift?) but it definitely wasn’t a double three-turn with free leg extended.

Gala tickets are now on sale for those who’ve already purchased all event competition tickets. The email with the link comes from Utilita Arena Sheffield, not the BIS Europeans 2026 address that has been sending the rest of the comms.

And we have another split in French ice dance: Lou Terreaux / Noé Perron. He’s on IPS.

“Getting to know you” style interview with Fear/Gibson for Team GB - including a sweet mention of Lilah’s first coach at Queens, Bohdan Zahorski.

That's great news! I'm really glad she's found a new partner so quickly (and that we have another ice dance convert :) ) - looking forward to seeing them in competition next season. I've seen Louis Gregory compete in singles a few times and tbh didn't find his skating particularly memorable -...

The British Solo Dance Championships were in Sheffield this week, moving earlier in the year to align with the emerging international season. It was on the BIS YouTube but they didn't keep the streams up for even a couple of hours. :( Results Senior: Gold - Layla Karnes (BIS), Silver - Alana...

I guess it depends on how you feel about Torvill & Dean as well as your budget constraints. It is genuinely a last chance to see them skate, not a retirement party where they stand around and get praised. I had no marginal cost to get to Wembley, but as someone who’s been watching them my whole...

The tour kicked off on Friday evening. Here's a review from the Daily Mail, which is an epitome of Fail 'journalism'. My mother and I went to the Saturday evening show at Wembley and it was a really entertaining show. A bit cheesy and nostalgic, but we were there for the nostalgia. Despite my...

From what I read, Reitan isn’t a Swedish citizen and Sweden doesn’t do expedited citizenship for athletes. They’re spending more time in Sweden to keep 2030 on the table, but it won’t be happening next year. Of course, they could win a spot and then Kivioja/Pellnor use it but given Swedish...

I hope Harris/Chan make it, even though they're not one of my favourite teams to watch. They put down one of their strongest performances at Worlds, and it's unfortunate for them the way the qualification rules worked out. But I'm not confident that they'll do it. They tend to start their...

Alexa Severn is back: she competed at the Black Sea Ice Cup over the weekend, her first competition since Junior Worlds 2024. Unfortunately it looks like she had a rough time in the FS and finished behind AdvNov champion Jessica Worth. Also :yikes: at Nina Povey's free skate protocol. Hope she...

And they will probably be sibling teams and/or juniors. Have the ISU said anything about a bpm requirement beyond “high energy”? With Euros in Sheffield, I’ve been wondering if anyone might try a Pulp (or other Britpop) RD. And I’d probably enjoy more chart crossover dance programmes, in the...

Nothing published yet, but I think we can pretty much guarantee that the FD will be closing out the competition on Saturday evening. All event ticket sales have been extended for a week until 7 April.

White Town's Your Woman has been my wish for a Fear/Gibson FD for a while, but since we're now stuck with the 90s theme (ugh) I'd take it for an RD instead. Lopareva/Brissaud are probably my favourite of the top ten teams to watch (got to take my British ice dance cheerleader hat off for a...

Wheee, what a fab Worlds for Team GB! :40beers: First medal in over 40 years! My brother-in-law asked me about Lilah and Lewis while we were having lunch today, so they have truly made it. :lol: Plus four Olympic spots confirmed with only Ed Appleby having to make a trip to Not Nebelhorn, and...
