Dance- I think it is pretty obvious Chock & Bates will be done. This will be his 4th Olympics. If they return I will be STUNNED. I think Hubbell & Donohue are likely, although maybe not 100% for sure done. Both are in serious relatioships and might want to move on with their lives. If Papadakis & Cizeron and Sinitsina & Katsalapov both retire, maybe they might continue seeing an opening to be #1 for awhile, but I am not sure. I think Gilles & Poirier are probably done by their comments. I think there is a good chance if they make the Olympics which seems nearly certain that Fournier Beaudry & Sorensen would be done as well. The 2 Spanish teams? Something tells me they might stay in but not sure. Papadakis & Cizeron could be done, especialy if they win Olympics and worlds as I expect they will, but might continue. The top 2 Russian teams are also up in the air. Guignard & Fabbri would almost for sure be done. Wang/Liu, Zagorski/Guerreiro, Komatsubara/Koleto also seem likely. I think the dance will see a slew of retirements.
Men- I think Nathan Chen and Hanyu are both done. Zhou is probably done by his comments. Kegan Messing has to for sure be done after this season. Uno most likely is done. Jason Brown most likely is done. Kolyada has to be done right.
Ladies- I think Kostarnaia, Anna S, and Tuktamysheva (already confirmed for her) are done after this season, particularly if Anna S makes the Olympic team and wins an individual medal and possibly a team gold. I see most of the top 6 or 7 Japanese women retiring. Bell and Tennell are almost certainly done, whether they make the team or not. Medvedev has already confirmed retirement after the season it seems. I can see Karen Chen moving on if she makes her 2nd Olympic team, but not as sure on her as Tennell and Bell. Daleman likely will move on regardless how the season goes.
Pairs- Tarasova & Morozov might be done, but I am not sure on them. Sui & Han are obviously done after this season. Peng & Jin might retire, or they might take the opportunity to be Chinese #1 for awhile. Moore Towers & Moscovitch are definitely in their final season. Will James & Radford continue? Will Denney & Frazier. I think Denney & Frazier probably will, but not sure on James & Radford, as I thought they were teaming up mostly to skate in shows after the Games, but could see them deciding to give it more than 1 season in amateur. Della Monica has already confirmed retirement post season but I do think Matteo Gaurise will continue most likely. Atleast if he can find a decent partner.
