2024-25 ISU Grand Prix Assignments & projected alternates

[Rukia]

On the plus side... The pairs field has the potential to be decimated even more in coming weeks and your MarBed are only 5 more withdrawals away from getting a GP invite.

Honestly, I don't want to see the field decimated much further, but I was trying to find some silver lining for ANL and that's really all there is.

Honestly, I have my doubts about a LOT of teams - GreenP are, like ReedAmbru, still on the Metropole Nice entries list; who knows what kind of shape LajLag are in, same with Les Gacs who haven't been seen since Lake Placid.

Caroline’s dad posted an update on their GoFundMe that they will indeed be competing this weekend.

L/L-G just featured in Lilah Fear’s Instagram story as they prep for this weekend so looks like they’re healthy

We appreciate all the kind words and wishes from everyone it’s a devastating situation but are hopeful and continue to plan towards the bigger picture. We can’t wait for the time when we can get back to training.

Wishing all our competitors a fantastic GP season

Listen, folks, if we're going to start some incantations, I need just ONE man to drop out so that Broussard can get a 2nd GP. And another woman anywhere but Finlandia or NHK so that Everhardt can get a 2nd GP, lol.

I guess Flor/Des are too far down the dance list. I’d rather see them at a 2nd GP than…well never mind.

Well, no, they're actually 1st in line now that FabAyer got SkAm. Their problem is that every single GP except CoC has 3 US teams already, so they're probably going to be passed over by a bunch of teams below them if there are any more withdrawals. I'm indifferent to the next few teams looking for a 2nd or any GPs.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Gleb/Smolkin stated also they were unsure if they would be ready for Skam, and had to WD from Denis Ten.

I know some people around here don't like Diana, but I don't think Gleb is allowed to compete alone.

ian somerville his impact

Sorry if I missed it, but have they said what the "devastating situation" is?

They said in another post that they are dealing with an injury and will take the year off to recover.

Thank you. I appreciate the response and wish them well.

No idea - they've been posting content on their IG this week so this must have been a very late situation yesterday.

Pairs - VLDigs got NHK. ChtWoz got one of the open CoC spots and McBPark got the other one.

14-18 hours ago both USFS and F/D posted they were at SKAM. Injury?

Last IG story from Bella was 16 hrs ago and a share from a fan account telling people where/when/how to watch them at SkAm. They hadn't left yet, I don't think, and would have had at least one more practice session yesterday afternoon, I'd think, with today being their travel day since official practices start tomorrow.

This is the most devastated I’ve been about a Skate America WD since the Kween dropped out from my first SA in 2004.

 

[peibeck]

That is all.

 

[Karen-W]

Updated Alternates List was also posted today, btw - https://isu.org/docman-documents-li...files-64/34305-gp-alternate-list-2024-25/file

Going over it right now to see what changes have been made.

Ha. I was thinking Sasha in Boston 2001.

Now i´m confused - F/A still on the list, don´t they have two spots now?

Yes - the Alternates list is dated 14.10.2024, so it's from Monday before this week's withdrawals. The pairs list still has VLDigs & McBPark, who also now have two spots as of today.

 

[peibeck]

Only noticed dance at first, but I see @Karen-W 's evil incantation was working OT last night to get @AngieNikodinovLove (ANL) 's favorite American pair closer to a GP slot.

Make sense. I see the Hungarian team is indeed moved up on the list.

Very strange with F/D sudden WD, they must have gotten ill/got injured in the last 24 hours...

In other news, the French team D/N WD from Nice now... I hope they are not injured :/

No, no, no. The pairs WDs were dropped at the same time as the JvrSteff WD yesterday that got FabAyer their 2nd spot. MarBed still need 5 more WDs to get a GP slot -

Pairs Alternate list looks like this now -
Chtchetinina/Wozniak - CoC (1)
Nagaoka/Moriguchi - NHK (2)
Gamez/Korovin - none (3,4)
Martins/Bedard - none (5)

I'm guessing they'd rather use the feedback from Denis Ten Mem & time before their back-to-back GPs to work on their programs rather than compete this week.

My 2001 Boston thousand depressions moment was Silverstein/Pekarek not being at my first Nats. Still not over it!
