Official retirement announcements by figure skaters in 2025-2026

I'm sorry to hear about Golubeva/Giotopoulos Moore's split, but not too surprised. They've battled a lot of injuries and illness the past few years, since before 2024 Worlds. And a lot of challenges generally, with them being from 2 different continents and training on a 3rd continent. I think they handled it all with impressive maturity, considering how young they are (only 20/23). Wishing them all the best!!
 
They were such an exciting team when they started out but injuries and illness really did a number on them and this last season was so hard going that the split isn’t really unexpected. I’m glad that they were able to make it to the Olympics together.
 
Anastasia seems to be good friends with Holly Harris (based on their respective Instagrams) so maybe she can find a new partner and coaching situation in Canada and be able to stay in a familiar environment. She has time to sit out a year and change countries given it's the start of the Olympic cycle.

My biggest annoyance was that they should have won 2024 Four Continents outright, but politics got in the way of their of even making the podium. It must have also been tough seeing teams they had originally beaten from 2023 - 2025 start to get better PCS even though the couples were evenly matched.

The biggest problem was the twist lift. They were only doing a double and even then it was a problematic element for them. They lost quite a few points on that in both the SP and FS.
 
I wonder if Gabrielle Daleman will continue?
She announced she will compete one more season.

 
Sara Conti & Niccolo Macii held a joint press conference today where he announced he is retiring & has a coaching position lined up; sounds like she is looking for a new partner.

Their PR firm posted several IG stories with clips from the press conference here, beginning here -

And this X poster provided a rough translation -
 
Litvintsev has indeed retired
