Unfortunately, Emmi had to withdraw due to foot injury and she's heading for surgery, so Oona Ounasvuori is in. From Emmi's IG post: Jenni caught both the flu and norovirus after the Nats so her preparation for the Euros hasn't been optimal (she's been only training for a week or two). Let's...

Bad news from Belarussia... If this is accurate, looks like we won't see BLR skaters in Nebelhorn: The Ministry of Sports Imposed a Ban on the Travel of Belarusian Athletes Abroad

Neudecker and his new partner have moved from Dalilah to Drew Meekins. From his IG post (that also shows clips of their 3twist):

Below are some machine translated excerpts from this new interview with Péchalat: Nathalie Péchalat, présidente de la Fédération Française des Sports de Glace : "On a regagné la confiance" She goes on to say that most of the Didier loyalists left on their own. She says they've started to work...

I'm so relieved he made the top 10! Also, his 3A into a choreographical sit spin was one of the most breathtaking moves in the whole competition. Even Jason Brown doesn't do transitions quite like that! :biggrinbo

Yuzu talking about his pursuit of 4A while training on his own. It's quite YIKES :eek: and also quite unsurprising... "If I can get 1/8 more rotation, I can land it. I’m certain. I have really tortured my body to get this far so I am sure damages have been piling up. I had decided earlier on...

Personally, I hope La/La keep their FD. When it comes to FB/S, I'm somewhat torn: I appreciated the choreography and would like to see it develop further, but I found the voice-overs distracting and the actual music rather bland.

It's actually pretty cool that in absence of the usual officials, they got to ceremonially hand each other their well-deserved medals :encore: https://twitter.com/tegomass/status/1375893951341850625

Shingo has announced his new partnership on IG: https://www.instagram.com/p/CMZLWHjFlL9/?igshid=1xz0goehs8ubx "We would like to inform you all with a very exciting news! Ayumi Takanami and I have decided to start our journey together as a new Japanese ice dance team. We will strive and work...

Valtter recently submitted his video for ISU to get the FS TES for Worlds. He was very happy about how the virtual competition went! https://www.skatingfinland.fi/tapahtumat/mm-pisterajat-rikki-virtuaalisesti/ Roman Galay is dealing with back problems again, so Valtter is the only contender for...

According to this NYT article, Rachael successfully defended her master’s thesis on eating disorders in athletes in March. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/03/sports/athletes-eating-disorders.html?referringSource=articleShare The whole article is worth a read, here's a little excerpt: ETA...

For sr GP events, the deadline for cancellations is 12 weeks before the event. Also, we get those prestigious ISU Skating Awards in digital/virtual form. Oh yay. Anxiously waiting for those "further details" that will be provided in due course. :rolleyes:

Um... Except Cirque isn't doing so great at the moment. I sure hope the company will make it through the current crisis, but currently it is "working with restructuring advisers to address a cash crunch and its roughly $900 million in debt" and "Cirque du Soleil’s layoffs affected more than...
