Lim/Quan are confirmed for SCI this week.

Still no replacement for Pinzarrone at SCI, so I'm guessing there won't be one.

That's a bit sad as she withdrew 2 weeks before the comp start date (that we became aware of, at least).

Looks like Mariia Seniuk may have gotten Nina's spot!

YAWN. Thought she was crazy overscored at Trialeti Trophy. Meh.

 

[Karen-W]

Seniuk has officially been added to the SCI roster for the women.

And Tali/Lafornara are out of SkAm -

Fabbri/Ayer are next up on the Alternates List.

Who did they replace?

Who did they replace?

Do you have Karen-W on ignore?

Do you have Karen-W on ignore?

Definitely not - they fight like brother & sister.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Tali/LaFornara.

Lolllll I did not scroll up high enough

 

[Karen-W]

Whelp looks like Beccari Guarise withdrew from SKAM. Chan Howe are next on the list!

Except the USA already has 3 teams at SkAm, so the assignment will go to Akopova/Rakhmanin.

Theoretically, Samodelkina should be at the top of the Alts List still, therefore next in line for the Finlandia spot. Hopefully she can get the necessary visa in time to compete as she would be in the medal mix & aiming to sneak into the GPF if possible. Seoyoung Kim is 2nd on the Alts List, followed by Mariia Seniuk.

 

[PRlady]

Oh I’d love to see Sofia again, the way she’s skating, it’s a treat to watch her.

But boy we are missing some good ladies to injury-Nina and Niina and Kimmy. And those skating who clearly shouldn’t be, like Wakaba and Livia.

What exactly has happened? Weren’t shin and Nagy just assigned the spot last week?

That would be a question for the USFS.

OK so as far as we know, they aren’t injured, they were just swapped out?

 

[kwanfan1818]

As far as we know, we know nothing.

As far as we know - there's been no announcement that I've seen - just the update to the entry grid.

 

[skatingguy]

Another change for Skate America:
Karina Akopova/Nikita Rakhamnin, Armenia have been added to the Pairs event.

They looked pretty good in both the SP and FS at IceChallenge. But they were clearly outscored by two other teams this past weekend.

Not reflected on the pdf grid yet on the main ISU GP page, but reflected in the entries.

Very happy for them to get this opportunity!

H/C WD from Warsaw Cup - might be a sign that T/V is out from Finlandia?

 

[Karen-W]

H/C WD from Warsaw Cup - might be a sign that T/V is out from Finlandia?

Possibly - or they're injured themselves.

ETA - injury is more than likely since Bekker/Hernandez are the next team on the Alternates List after Pate/Bye. I can't imagine BekHern would turn down a 2nd GP even if they do wind up going back to back from SkAm to Finlandia.

 

[Marta24]

No more injuries, please
So many skaters are injured this season

 

[skateblessing]

Possibly - or they're injured themselves.

If that is the case, B/H is next in line and could get their 2nd spot but the timeline might be to short for them with SA... and depending on when T/V might end up making their decisions..

Sooo could we end in the situation with R/M getting a last minute spot? Which would make sense since they train in Oberstdorf and probably can do a quick turn around.

And we would end up seing two compete different Romeo and Juliet programs in one event

I´m not going to lie - I won´t be sad in that scenario happens because I do feel like Finlandia would be a nice GP experience for the Swedes... and surely after what happen in Beijing getting a last minute GP spot would be a nice revenge...

You are totally right... I checked and they are ahead of H/C on the list. I was sure H/B was just behind them.

I do agree they are not unlikely to turn down a spot unless T/V WD too late. I mean they probably need to know by this week if they can make the logistics.
