Italian figure skating news & updates

Just to bring your calculators out again

Ranking for World selections are
Single and Pairs: Nationals + 3 best competitions (same division between type A and B used for Olympic ranking) with at leas one of them taking place in 2026
Ice Dance: Nationals + average of 3 other scores (with one of them being from 2026).

If they are wishing a certain range (20 points for women and pairs, 25 for Ice Dance and 30 for men) the ranking may be overlooked.

Manni/Röthlisberger did not blow away at Euros. I think they can be beatable for 2nd Ice Dance spot if Tali/LaFornara are now healthy.
Bavarian Open will see Tali/LaFornara vs Paolino/Tuba.

Beccari/Guarise may not show up again. Because it is not that Ghilardi/Ambrosini can't be beaten...but they may not have competition.

Pezzetta is harmed by that awful FS at Nationals. And the fact she finished also behind Joos again at Europeans does not help her case.

I guess Memola will take his time to properly heal his injury and plan for next season.
As for Frangipani....he just lost to Circelli AND Nalbone at Merano Trophy.

Noah Lafornara posted after Nationals that they won't compete anymore this season, because his injury isn't healing as quickly as they hoped. I wonder if anything changed or if they will WD again from Bavarian Open.

I checked the entry deadline for Bavarian Open and it was in December, so before that post by Noah (10th January). So I guess they planned to compete there but then because of the injury not improving as hoped, they called the end of the season and so won't show up.
