2025-2026 Challenger Series have been allocated

[Vagabond]

So many glaring looks directed at Fournier-Beaudry and Cizeron!

 

[4rkidz]

Oh exciting for Nathan and Lily, he is local guy for me from our local Reserve and I remember him from years back. I saw them live as juniors and they were fabulous and the pride of the Ilderton club, I am assuming they are now in London or Montreal? Back then I think they were being coached by Scotts aunt and sister? Great they are now seniors. This really is a great line up of skaters.

 

[jmtfti]

Yep, Hensen/Lickers are at IAM Ontario with Scott and company! They've been senior for a few seasons now, but haven't gotten a lot of international opportunities despite finishing top five at Nationals the last couple of years and steadily improving (and having some especially interesting free dances). I'm glad to see Skate Canada sending them out to more events this fall.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

kind of a banger line-up really

Especially pairs and dance!

The dance field at Nepela

[YukiNieve]

OK, so Jason does compete in 2 CSs back to back, then.

 

[Belsornia]

Sorry Demougeot/Le Mercier, but I’m calling this win for Davis/Smolkin now.

 

[Karen-W]

Sorry Demougeot/Le Mercier, but I’m calling this win for Davis/Smolkin now.

It's sort of funny how every other country with a strong/semi-strong ID program stood down from this competition. No USA, CAN, CZE or FIN teams to be seen.

 

[Marta24]

Mrazeks, Dozzi/Papetti and Paolino/Tuba are out of Nebelhorn.
