Official retirement announcements by figure skaters in 2025-2026

Oh, no! I'll miss Loena. Her programs ... her costumes ... her presence. She was one of my faves and I wish she could have stayed longer. But, I understand ... she's 26 years old (not "young" for a singles lady skater) and her body was hurting. I wish her all the best and will savour the memories. Wishing her a future full of love, good health and loads of smiles.

I first met Anastasia at 2024 Skate America, and I kept raving to everyone around me how improved she and Luke were. I got to spend some brief time around them and then every time afterwards, she usually was the one who would spot me first and come up and talk. Seriously among the friendliest, happiest skaters.
