2024-25 Challenger Series

[Karen-W]

Do you think Flores/Desyatov will get an assignment?

Probably. There's still Nebelhorn, Denis Ten Memorial, and Budapest Trophy before the GP season starts.

 

[Rukia]

Do you think Flores/Desyatov will get an assignment?

yeah they will and they will go to skam

(this is me manifesting)

 

[Dobre]

That men's lineup is ridiculous! In the best sense of the word.

(Whatever Japan is thinking, I'm all good with it. This being an early Challenger list, we'll see who shows up; but that's a heck of a list).

 

[her grace]

Pretty fantastic line-up in men’s, women’s and pairs.

Dance is more average with Guignard/Fabbri as the only top name. Some interesting head-to-heads, though, for Germany’s b teams and France’s c teams. Also interested to see where Neset/Markelov place here.

 

[BlueRidge]

LaGouge & Caffa

 

[peibeck]

yeah they will and they will go to skam

(this is me manifesting)

What if it requires sacrificing Torgy?

 

[Rukia]

What if it requires sacrificing Torgy?

i will truly be malade

 

[peibeck]

i will truly be malade

X4? Lol

 

[Karen-W]

Well, all my for the Men's SkAm TBD spot are lit for Lucas.

 

[On My Own]

Where may one find the announcements for other B events, like Shanghai Trophy?

Where may one find the announcements for other B events, like Shanghai Trophy?

The ISU usually puts the announcements on each event's page once they receive it from the organizer.

So many thoughts - ID is gonna be sooooo interesting! Wonder if LajLag can pull off an early season upset. And we CarPon fans get to see their FD! Early season Spanish showdown! Early season Japanese showdown! Pairs - decent field, but disappointing no Italian teams. Women - Isabeau! Mone! Hana! Kimmy! Livia! Elyce! Men - Meh. I know people will be excited about Junhwan & Deniss. I was hoping for Lucas and am annoyed with USFS at this oversight.

John Nicks IPC entries are updated -

Fitzpatrick/Bearinger have replaced Martins/Bedard (guessing they're still coming back from her injury). Sorry @AngieNikodinovLove (ANL).

I saw that while having coffee about an hour ago, and I was like werent they supposed to be competing there…

Nebelhorn thoughts

Agree with @Karen-W that the men’s field is OK but I get to see Frangi bonus points there. The woman’s field looks interesting. Nice amount of entries in both field so far. Pairs also will be enjoyable. ID already kind of mostly predict the top six. Really interesting to see a Spanish showdown.

Eh, I'm not sure the Top 6 in ID is entirely predictable, beyond "these should be the Top 6 in some order" - LajLag, Taschlers, SmaDie, FearGib, CarPon, ZingKol.

That’s what I said, and those are the teams

Sure, but I'll say this much - if ID was being correctly judged, based on what we've seen so far this season, FearGib would not be in 1st after the RD. But, this is probably a discussion for the Dance Hall.

 

[Miezekatze]

Wheeee, great field at Nebelhorn IMO, really looking forward to seeing it live.

 

[Frau Muller]

Good mixture of skaters between Lombardia and Nebelhorn! I hope that they will both be streamed with decent quality…and not too expensive.

 

[sandra_persch]

Hope Janse van Rensburg injury isnt more serious than thought. They planned to compete at Nebelhorn but aren't on the released list.

 

[Rukia]

I haven't seen lala programs or cpom's fd but I already know where I think they should place lol

also cpom and torgy usfs did this just for me

 

[fan]

skate canada not showing kaiya any love...

 

[Wyliefan]

I mean, she's only their national champion!

 

[Jammers]

Yeah it seems like they think that Madeline Schizas is the only skater they have to compete.

Mid-range pair dudes have done well with switching countries, now we see how well an entire Russian pair does moving to another country. (I know Pavlova/Sviatchenko are both Russian but she had been with HUN for a while before him). Akopova/Rakhmanin are also supposed to be representing Armenia starting in 2025.

GeyChi are a painfully generic Mozer team but iirc they have tecknik.

Probably good enough to not finish last at 4CCs - there are still the lower level Japanese & Chinese teams plus GamKor. Maybe even good enough to beat the US teams if we don't send our top teams.
