Now where's my girl Penny Coomes (and Nick of course) on the GP, huh? :soapbox: THEY DESERVE A SPOT TOO!

PS: That's great for Zoe and Christopher!!!

Well, there have been no dance withdrawals so far, but if there is one they should get that spot then.

I have no words :scream::rofl::yikes::40beers:

(But I like to see the spots are getting filled and almost all other teams where overseas; i just he would have picked ITA#3 or GER#3 instead, but well...at least Novoselov will not come in dead last! :D)

They should, but probably Fournier-Beaudry/Sorensen who are ranked higher than them for now will get a second event instead in such case.

was there too much doubt? :EVILLE:

Z comfortably beat X at 4CCs but it happened the other way at Worlds. And then one won the short and the other won the free at WTT.

Neither was yet dominant over the other. I didn't think it was over yet.

Here is hoping somehow Sinitsina/Katsalapov give up after Minsk Challenger and the spots open for Penny/Nick

Sad for Zijun, thought she had a lot of promise, but she's been on a steady decline for the past couple years, though it's never helped that she always looks like she has no effs to give whenever she skates.

It sounds as if Duskova/ Bidar might have to cancel Europeans, so they probably need to cancel GP France as well. Next chance for DG to hire a new pair. It will be interesting who is next. Why would you go with GER#3 and not the better pair GER#2?

Anna Dušková and Martin Bidař have to postpone their premiere in Grand Prix competitions for the next season. Anna wounded in warm-up before training and unfortunately the injury was more serious than just a rash.

IFS Magazine just tweeted:

Anna Dušková & Martin Bidař have withdrawn from Cup of China. Anna injured in a warm-up and will undergo surgery for broken knee ligament.
IdF, D/B's scheduled 2nd GP, is before the 14-day replacement period cut-off.
