Wouldn’t Misha Mitrofanov and his new partner also be a possibility?

I believe Dmitri Ilin is also still part of the new MIDA team. G/P worked with him at Wheaton. This is as likely a reason to switch as anything else. I agree that Tanith and Charlie have little or no coaching/choreo experience.

Because that basic all-black look for dance men is just so over :)

While I would never cast any doubt on anything Sylvia would report, I am here at Iceworks and Gracie Gold was at practice this morning, warming up and reportedly landing her jumps.

I agree that that’s smart. Not so sure it’s smart for Fear & Gibson to return to the same well yet again, though :)

For dance—maybe Kolesnik’s ex, Nguyen, with her new partner? Should we be checking out the lineup at the Lake Placid event next week?

I feel like the Taschlers will be interesting no matter where they are :) Especially since the theme is Latin :)

Honestly I was thinking of Savchenko :) She has to be salivating over the prospects of making a comeback in a depleted pairs field

Or, someone who recently retired, is making a comeback? Come on, let’s guess!

If I had to guess— Knierim/Frazier, and maybe Stellato/Deschamps Chock/Bates and the Browns, if they move up; with Canada #2 (presumably F-B/Sorensen) Bell and Levito Malinin and Pulkinen, and maybe Sadovsky (fingers crossed) Who I’d be thrilled to see: Muramoto/Takahashi Uno

The prizes for the winners should be awesome. Maybe gold blades or something!

Me three! Is it too much to ask to let us know who we will be seeing? (But then again—the Lake Placid ice dance event is a week away and there’s been no announcement of the entries there either :) )

I’m guessing that there are still a few details to be worked out for the Sheffield event and that we will not see assignments announced until after that happens. I will be very happy to be proved wrong about this!

I’m surprised—that Long and Winding Road program just screamed farewell to me—but stopping to consider this a moment, it makes sense. The rule changes do seem to favor those with splashy, crowd pleasing elements, and downplay the disadvantages for those with less than breathtaking technical...

I want the event to be styled as, the Torvill and Dean Trophy Cup
