John Nicks Pairs Challenge International 2025 (September 2-3, 2025), New York, NY, USA

It almost looked like Flores/Wang just hadn't been training the lifts. Everything was off, from the timing/tightness on their entrances, to the sloppy exit of the level 3 lift, which was the only one they completed in the FS. Odd.

Should be 4 spots available in Beijing at this point.

I am confused, because I also thought there were 4 pairs spots still available in Beijing. But then Jackie Wong tweeted that there are only 3 spots.

Officially, there are 3 spots available, however Geynish/Chigirev, who earned 1 spot for Uzbekistan at Worlds, have split. He doesn't have a new partner yet & her new partner is rumored to be Marco Zandron, who last represented Spain in February at Merano Trophy with Brooke McIntosh. It seems highly unlikely that Chigirev is going to find a new partner who can represent UZB before December, which would mean that UZB returns the spot to the ISU and it's awarded to the 4th best team/federation in Beijing.
