2024-25 Challenger Series

Hendrixx is out of Golden spin. It was told to the press conference today.

Alysa and Bradie are on their way.

Thanks for the info @kosjenka as well as the link to this Croatian article about Golden Spin (Dec. 3): https://sport.hrt.hr/vise-sportova/...mena-iz-svijeta-umjetnickog-klizanja-11891838
Google translated excerpt:

Our only representative at the 56th Golden Pirouette, Hana Cvijanović, hopes for excellent performances on Thursday and Friday.
- I did not compete last year and I am happy that I will perform again this year. The trade fair is actually my second home and a place where I spend more time than at home. I am glad that I will compete again in Zagreb this year, as nice as it was in Sisak two years ago. I'm happy to be back, the injuries are healed, there are no problems and now it just depends on how my day will be and I need some sports luck. The competition is great as always, there are Americans Bradie Tennell and Alysa Liu, they are both coming back Alysa had her career cut short and Bradie was injured all last season, so they are also returning. Unfortunately, Belgian Loena Hendrickx, who was certainly a big favorite, will not come, but there are great skaters Aleksandr Selevko from Estonia, Georgian Nika Egadze and others. Really, the competition is great as always, pointed out Cvijanović.

Has Loena competed at all this fall?

Has Loena competed at all this fall?

Only once - Loena won the bronze at the Shanghai Trophy invitational in early October.

The Croatian fed's site says to use their Sportity app channel for the event information, etc - did they happen to share the pass code for it with the press?

Was not able to attend the press conference. I will be able to speak tomorrow with my contacts.

Press conference was more directed to Croatian public and they are not interested as much into streaming. I think local tv will show up.

Same! I could have sworn I tried GOLDENSPIN yesterday, but maybe the Sportity app didn't become active until today - and I hadn't tried today, lol. Hopefully they'll have live results in the Sportity app once the competition starts.

good job skate canada, once again, for not assigning skaters...

 

[Stephanie]

Skate Canada probably only has the money for a limited number of challengers and/or challenger entries.

Meanwhile the ISU Page has a link to the detailed results page, but it is a copy of the 2023 page so far, except for the link name

Belgian women are falling like flies! Jade Hovine is out - she was sick last week in Budapest & still hasn't recovered.

For those of you who how have known me, whenever this event comes up, I get sick and this week is the same. I am almost programmed to feel shitty when golden spin is on.
Luckily, I am negative to all the crap and feeling better today, but I don’t think I will attend today’s competition.

In case I continue to feel better, I will go to the women’s short program and attend the rest of the competition tomorrow and on Saturday.

Croatian fed is doing a bang-up job! The stream has no sound, the Sportity app has no live results - the stream had the starting order listed for the first group - but no graphics showing the scores while the skater hears them (though we don't) in the KnC. Just brilliant work today.

ETA - seems like they restarted the stream between the 1st & 2nd warm-up groups and now there's sound!

Do we expect differently? Lol.

I have to do some work this morning but will join you guys for the Grand Prix final pairs and women’s
