2025-26 USFS International Assignments

Mezzaluna Cup entries are up!


US teams include:

Sr - Cui/Rogers, Koncius/Shchepetov, Pham/Spiridonov
Jr - Aboian/Veselukhin, Robertson/Rohner
 
I noticed that Nicholas Brooks is no longer listed for Tayside. His name wasn’t added to the USFS page with the others, and now he’s gone from the ISU entries list. Any news out there as to why? I hope he’s not injured with only a month to go until Sectionals.
 
IceChallenge Graz entries are available on their Sportity channel.

Sr Men - Kapeikis & Naumov
Sr Pairs - Liu/Bedard and Moss/Galbavy
Sr Ice Dance - Pate/Bye
Jr Women - Logan Higase-Chen and Sherry Zhang

This will give Kapeikis and Pate/Bye byes to Nationals as the it's the same week as Pac Coast Sectionals & the Ice Dance Final.

Looking for the complete roster. is not available yet?

And will this be a challenger?
 
Curious timing to send Liam to Austria Nov 5 to 9 when Skam starts Nov 14...not impossible to do both but makes me wonder when they are being so cagey about confirming the SA spots on their site...

I'm convinced the USFS is giving certain skaters every last possible chance to "earn" the SkAm TBD spots in pairs and men's.

Now that Tomoki and McBark both have two spots, that's at least one less skater/team they have to contend with taking the spot away from whomever they really favor. We won't see a final decision made until after CoC - gives both Naumov & Sanchez one last chance to best Liam's Challenger score. Same with pairs - ShiNagy get this week at GPdF to do much better than they have so far this fall, plus I'm sure the USFS is hoping ChanHowe can pick up a 2nd GP somewhere else.

It's interesting they're also sending LiuBed to this competition - I think they deserve the SkAm TBD spot more than their current pets of ShiNagy, should ChanHowe get a 2nd GP in the next week or so.
 
I wonder if they are assigning Liam and Max to hedge their bets. The same way they do where they assign some skaters to an event the week of the GPF in case they don't qualify. My bet is they don't actually plan on whoever gets SA going to this event, but they want to have them in there in case they don't get it.

Could be. The senior men are the only discipline with a substitute listed for the USA - Jacob Sanchez (which makes even less sense since he's competing at CoC the week before).

Liam being assigned to this makes sense in the sense that it gets him a bye to Nats because it's the same week as Pac Coasts, so even if he doesn't wind up with SkAm, he still has a bye - but that could have also been accomplished by assigning him to Warsaw Cup, Tallinn Trophy or Golden Spin, so who knows what the thought process is here.
 
Well, now... this is interesting...

ShiNagy have been added to IceChallenge Graz per the USFS international assignments page as of yesterday.

SkAm Men's & Pairs spots still listed as TBD.
Well, that seals it for me. ShiNag are being given every opportunity to get their scores up as Efimova won’t get citizenship and they are not sure where ChanHowe might be.

They can try, but the thing is, IceChallenge isn't a Challenger, so it won't improve their SB. And it may very well damage them further because...
And they’re sending Chelsea and Ryan to senior C’s and D’s
Lmao - nah, this is a standard Sr B comp - which LiuBed are also assigned to. Wouldn't it be amusing if they beat ShiNagy again?
