US Ice Dance 2024-25 News & Updates

Hmm interesting. I believe Blake is Jewish so he might have some relation to Israel. They could definitely have more success there than the stacked American field

The thing is, I think they would have gotten at least 1 if not 2 JGP assignments this year. The junior field has thinned out a bit in the US and their scores were, generally, right in line with the teams who are still on the JGP (apart from AboVes and IlinCain, who are ahead of the pack).

Unless they make some rapid improvements in the next few years, I'm not sure I see them challenging Tkachenko/Kiliakov as the top Israeli team in the long term - looking out toward 2030 & 2034.

And doesn’t Shira Ichilov have a new partner?

Yes, but I'd be surprised if Ichilove/Nosovitskiy are around by 2034, lol.

Maybe not, but i could see them challenging T/K over the next quad, as long as they keep progressing. They looked good at Chesapeake for a new team debut.

Nosovitskiy has a lot more experience than Ichilov's last partner, who didn't have a background in competitive ice dance. This team should have the pieces, with a lot more training time together, to make a competitive team for Israel.

But every time I think that about her, she changes partners so I'm refraining from having expectations beyond the Olympic season at this point. Here's wishing them both positive let's-get-along vibes.

Skating summer issue has a small article about Avonley Nguyen, who lives in NYC and is on the AAC (Athletes Advisory Committee) for USFS. Is she working in the field of medicine in NYC?
