[oleada]

Higuchi, Tursynbaeva, Yelim Kim, Young You, Tuktamysheva , Scherbakova, Samodurova? WOW

 

[Wyliefan]

Don't Anna and Liza have both their GPs together as well? They're really joined at the hip this season.

 

[Jeschke]

Shpilevaya/Smirnov and Murashov with early assignments!
#missionSBlist

 

[Jeschke]

Only 2 ITA ladies?
Where is Leccardi? NO JGP, no home soil CS?

How did 2nd russian dance team get this assignment?

 

[Colonel Green]

So in ice dance that'd be Guignard/Fabbri, then Fournier Beaudry/Sorensen, and I'm not sure who I'd favour for bronze.

The Finger!This is her season to shine

I'm glad this is not this week. I'm trying to get things organized so everything is done at the beginning of the week

 

[Dobre]

Yelim Kim, Young You

I cannot even think of the last time--if ever--when I have seen these two in an international head-to-head; and now we have two scheduled.

So in ice dance that'd be Guignard/Fabbri, then Fournier Beaudry/Sorensen, and I'm not sure who I'd favour for bronze.

Yep, interesting. Nazarova & Nikitin, Green & Parsons, Shpilevaya & Smirnov, Lajoie & Lagha, Galayavieva & Thauron, Reed & Ambrulevicius, Turkkila & Versluis. A lot of less established teams with some promising strengths and then some plausible weaknesses and/or minimal experience to make it unpredictable.

[Jeschke]

MGL lady skater

Galustyan doing back to back CS ITA and CS USA?

Where is Sadovsky?

CHN sending pairs to a challenger!
(how I wished it would have been W/W)

 

[feraina]

The pairs field is amazing! Almost as good as a GP. Early showdown between C/L and K/O.

It’s strange that P/J is the only Chinese entry here and Jin is the only Chinese entry at Lombardia. You’d think team China would want to consolidate to facilitate logistics. In any case I’m glad that eam China has finally wisened up to the possibility of improving world standing and starting position through CS’s.

 

[Vagabond]

Ashley Cain must have gotten hyphenated recently.

 

[oleada]

Ashley Cain must have gotten hyphenated recently.

Gribble is a really unfortunate last name; I would've stuck with just Cain

Yes but I'm worried. If for some reason the one Russian pair or one Chinese pair can't come, doesn't it invalidate the comp for points? Doesn't there have to be four countries represented for points?

Where is Sadovsky?

Finlandia Trophy?

 

[bluebonnets]

MGL lady skater

Not gonna lie, I had to look that one up.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Wonder what happened to the Knierims. She kinda hinted to me they were doing the Classic.

 

[Sylvia]

Wonder what happened to the Knierims.

There's still Nebelhorn and Finlandia for pairs before the start of the GP season.

ETA:

[allezfred]

There's still Nebelhorn and Finlandia for pairs before the start of the GP season.

My money would be on Finlandia, but who knows...

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

My money would be on Finlandia, but who knows...

I just heard from her! She said they are confirmed for another one. I did not press her for which.

I like their programs this season from what I have seen.

Im gonna say Finlandia too. They have moreeee than enough expierences at Nebelhorn, and Im sure they would want change.

 

[RoseRed]

Yes but I'm worried. If for some reason the one Russian pair or one Chinese pair can't come, doesn't it invalidate the comp for points? Doesn't there have to be four countries represented for points?

3 countries, 5 teams total at a minimum.

 

[A.H.Black]

5 Evgenia TARASOVA / Vladimir MOROZOV RUS 3!?! I'm surprised - glad to have them.

 

[oleada]

They’re training in the US now so it makes sense.

 

[A.H.Black]

I don't think the Classic has had any entries representing Russia before. I've been to all of them and I don't remember any (I won't stake my life on it).

 

[HeatherC]

That Classic pairs roster is amazing! I hope they stream this competition because that event alone is worth watching for me. Great field all around though with lots of stories and skaters to watch early in the season!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

^^^^ Missed you, Chica!

 

[Braulio]

That Classic pairs roster is amazing! I hope they stream this competition because that event alone is worth watching for me. Great field all around though with lots of stories and skaters to watch early in the season!

They will, via NBC Sports Gold Skating Pass though you can't buy single event it's all or nothing, $59.99 for the entire season (that includes the challenger)

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

BTW, the default option if you had a pass last year is to automatically renew. I should have known it would be a default or I forgot that I was ok with it. But at least my pass should be good to go.
