Today was media day at the "camp" - Bev Smith has written an article about what to expect in the new season: https://bevsmithwrites.com/new-faces-new-beginnings-for-canadian-skaters/

Her article answers some of the questions about those not attending.

Sigh including this quote:

Alison Schumacher is evaluating her future.

I wonder if we will see her compete this season or maybe she is going to try pairs again.

Sorry to hear about F-B/S's fall -- I hope they'll recover quickly.

Gabby's mother tweeted these updates about an hour ago:
"Gabby Daleman had a severe abdominal muscle tear earlier this year, was back on the ice then contracted Covid, was back on the ice again & then was in a serious car accident 2 weeks ago. She has a jammed back from the accident but is getting treatment and is back on the ice."

"She's working hard on recovery, is focused on what she can control, and is back on the ice. She has both programs and intends to skate at Octoberfest."

The CBC article noted that a decision about the Olympic team podium still hasn't been made. I wonder when or if that is going to happen.

Most recent news was about 10 days ago...

New York Times article on Kamila Valieva; not much new in it, just a sort of recap of what happened. Someone on Reddit unlocked it, so there's no paywall.

Kamila Valieva, Supernova (Published 2022)

The Russian teenager was the star of the Beijing Olympics, but disappeared in a flash.

Essentially, whenever RUSADA gets their act together and completes the initial investigation for WADA.

Olympic great Scott Moir credits coaches-turned-colleagues for rediscovering his love of skating​

The 34-year-old Moir recently married longtime girlfriend Jaclyn Mascarin after COVID-19 twice threw a wrench into wedding plans. They have an 18-month-old daughter.

So all that needs to happen for Virtue and Moir 2.0 is for Tessa to have a son!!!!!

Tyler Gunara's response to the same question totally cracked me up.

I also got a good giggle out of his answer
