Press release in Czech: http://www.czechskating.org/clanek/...e-krasobrusleni-by-mohlo-ziskat-dva-nove-pary
(Google translation to English)
... Anna Dušková and Martin Bidař officially announced the end of the joint training. Sports couples parted and each partner sought to set up a new sports couple. While Anna Dušková will train mainly in Prague and with the selection of a partner, Martin Bidař wants to train more abroad in the new Olympic round. Eva Horklová's coaches have different training and career goals.
"Martin is already mature, so he can move on to the world. I want to combine sports and study duties at home," said Anna Dušková. For Martin Bidar, the priority is more frequent stay abroad. "I feel that every experience I bring from abroad, mainly from Canada, can move me a lot. But I understand Anicka, who still has to think a lot about how to put everything together with the study plan, "he says, of course, that they are both aware of the risks of building a new couple.
"We respect the decisions of our representatives. On the one hand, they were very hopeful, on the other, but they are aimed at creating two sporting pairs, which can have a very good performance, "Vera Tauchmanová, chairwoman of the Czech Figure Skating Federation, commented on the decision of Dušková and Bidar.
"It's a difficult way. It does not have to come out. But we will try to maximally support any newly created pairs, "said Stanislav Židek, CCP vice-chairman and chairman of the CCP coaching committee. The first test is the performance test for the figure skating this August. If they want to compete in the first half of the season, the pair must be introduced already. And that's not going to be easy.
"It's a short time, of course, but we have a coach with a partner and we will soon announce who it is," said A. Dušková. "It's not a competition to find one's partner before, but the fact is, I want to get clear about as fast as Anička," added M. Bidar.
According to the CCP, it is necessary for both pairs to be introduced at the latest in the Czech Championship. "Otherwise, they would not be able to nominate for key competitions and would lose the whole season," explained S. Žídek. According to him, however, Anna Dušková and Martin Bidař have shown a strong will to race and perform high quality performances under difficult conditions.
The news was first posted several hours ago in the OES News thread by @synchrogirl17 here: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/threads/oes-news-2017-2018.101536/page-4#post-5355052
(I thought this unexpected news deserved its own GSD thread.)

In any case, best of luck to both & thanks for the memories! 
They were one of my favorite pairs and like the Aussies I believed they had a lot of potential going into this Olympic cycle. I wish them the best but
