When do they compete again?

 

[Wyliefan]

I believe they'll be free to compete at the end of November. I don't know when and where their first competition will be.

Carolane and Shane finally updated their ISU page with their new country!

I think the country part is controlled by the ISU not the skaters themselves.

 

[Wyliefan]

Okay, rephrasing: Their page was updated with their new country!

Nice article!!

 

[Wyliefan]

@champ, do you get the magazine? I haven't been able to find a copy of the actual article online.

 

[Jeanine]

I usually buy it but haven’t got this one yet. I’ll get it the next time I’m near the shops… can anyone remind me of the rules of scanning/ uploading articles here? (I have a feeling it’s “Don’t!” but I never do it so I can’t remember!)

On their ISU bio. Although isn't that an old FD?

[Wyliefan]

It is an old FD, but it's what they skated at Irish nationals, so they may have just decided to bring it back for the season.

It'll be good to see them at Golden Spin!

I really enjoyed their FD this afternoon, it was a good comeback after how disappointed they must have been yesterday. Looking forward to seeing what happens in Zagreb next weekend!

Good luck to them and to Ireland. Is this Ireland's first ice dance team at this level?

 

[Wyliefan]

I believe so!

 

[Wyliefan]

A great day at Euros for Team Ireland! A qualification AND Worlds tech minimums! And lots of Irish-themed stuffies.

Caro seems to have a bit of a cough; fingers crossed it's minor and they'll be fine for tomorrow.

I'm so pleased for them! They put together two clean performances and got SBs for both, and it sounds like they had a wonderful time.

Now for Worlds preparation and wedding planning! (That sounds like a LOT all at once. Eat your Wheaties, kids. )

 

[Wyliefan]

Carolane got a season's best for her birthday! She and Shane are currently in second place at Egna with 68.45.
