I am too. There's discussion in the Dance Hall thread if you want to go check it out.

Kristina Isaev has retired (I am too stupid to link from Instagram).
It is a lovely post saying she‘s moving on to coaching.
And that she had „no talent“ bit made the most of it.
And what the fed says:

Therebthey say she said it is due to health and financial reasons.

Potential new junior ice dance team - Atl Ongay-Perez & Mia Lee Mayer - his last competition with Ashlie Slatter was JGP Wuxi in Oct 2024, so they wouldn't be eligible for this year's JGP - except maybe the last one in Abu Dhabi.

Grimm/Rodin are official! Plan to represent Germany.
Still waiting on his release from the Russian Fed, so no international competitions until January at the earliest, but that gives them plenty of time to come together as a team.

Hmmmm.... what to think about this? Don`t know their politics. Typical sneaky Russian away of working around the rules -
with German Fed in need of ice dancers? Sanctions like the one by the ISU are not directed solely at the Putin regime but the populace as well - creating as much pressure as possible.

He's hardly the first Russian to make the country switch - or at least attempt it - and not even the first for the German fed, so I fail to see what the issue is. He's not been able to compete internationally since he left Russia and he's been in Italy for at least a year now, partnered with a Chinese skater - that didn't work out, in part because the CFSA didn't request a release for him (see the Chinese news thread for the details).

I`ll let this go so German thread doesn`t get sidelined.
