although I do think (like P/C) Mrazeks will benefit from being from a country with a less stacked field. B/H will be the GB #2 until F/G retire, B/B will need to wait for at least a couple of retirements and then they will still be behind LaLa and while L/Q are in a smilar position, I think that they might struggle from a fed perspective (in that they don't seem super willing to back them?). The Mrazeks have had a shining junior career, while the Taschlers had an okay one. Basically, I don't think that the Czech team order is clear cut or solid. Then like P/C they will have a quicker route to championships and having full fed backing as #1s.
And teams like P&C, V&M and D&W also skated together since they were children, while the Mrazeks, L/Q and B/H are only entering their 3rd season.
Which is why (although I know it’s bad to put too many hopes into a junior team) I’m so excited that Ashlie and Atl are finally juniors - their 6 years together really showed here. Truly can’t wait to see how they go in the next few seasons.
Problem lane`s teams don`t get the full patern or keypoint levels a the biggest events this is what held back piper and paul for years.
Many senior teams would love to be as unprepared as the Mrazeks. In that Tango they gave me some Tessa Virtue and some other Dude vibes. You could not tell me they are siblings LOL
The way she used her skirt......that was a vibe in itself.
Regarding the Mrazkovi, I would also say that (pending the return of the Russians), the European dance scene is a lot softer below the current top teams (Guignard/Fabbri and Fear/Gibson) than is the 4CC one. It's not so hard to imagine rapid upward movement there for a new team with momentum.
Don’t do this to us.
We are tired of dance-partner-musical-chairs. Ugh..Don’t do this to us.
Me either! What clue have we had that Jeffery even wants to continue skating? I'm guessing Jeffrey evaluated his life and the US dance scene after nationals and realized a possible Olympic run would take a minimum of 7 years and then it might not happen. I think he decided to move on with his education.Annabelle Morozsov and Jeffrey Chen, sorry my brain can't absorb that

I dunno... lots of French skaters based in Florida, and that's where she was rumored to want for the main training base when Naryzhnyy broke up with her in December.
My highlight among the top teams was Lim & Quan, who I thought skated very solidly and the closest to their potential at this stage of their careers. But I agree with you that B&B finished where they did because of the levels, plus Judy was on the panel (which couldn't have been predicted), plus B&B had the pressure of living up to expectations from last season, which is always tough. Still they're going to come out of this season well, though, I assume. They were top 24 last season on the World Standings list, and now they've a JGPF title and another bronze to go with it. Should leave them in good stead for the GP for next season.
explain Judy pls?
