Kouevi/Homawoo wozrobbed of a junior worlds alternates spot.

I think White Crow generally works better for singles (where for me Kolyada and Levito are the standouts, but it's elevated a lot of fairly average skaters) and pairs (loved Cain/LeDuc) than dance, but I'm generally not a fan of ballet programmes in ice dance. The balletic movement and use of...

Yeah, it's only giving me the option to transfer the gala tickets too. Apparently the solution to the tickets not showing in the app was to post about it on FSU. They've just popped up!

Sorry, I'm going to be the annoying person with a Ticketmaster question. Have any all-event ticketholders been able to access them in the Ticketmasker app? I've got the gala ones there (and received an email telling me they were available) but not the all-event. I could still access them in my...

Last season's junior pairs silver medallists Sophie Dracas and Pelham Wright have split. He's on IPS and has switched disciplines again (to ice dance this time).

I guess Bulgaria is the new Turkiye when it comes to ice dance scoring. (Though I don't think there was a stream, so V/K could surprise us by pushing for the final group at Euros...maybe...I guess...) New Bulgarian team of Silvia Lutay (aka Albena Denkova's niece) & Konstantin Tkachenko also...

And one of the skaters Piper Gilles contacted between splitting with Donohue and teaming with Poirier was Mark Hanretty, but he was burned out on competitive ice dance and not interested in trying out with anyone.

:lol: that the blurb talks about "lifelong partnerships" when the three teams we know are featured all include guys with previous partnerships which ended in ways that generated lots of :argue:

The arena area (Sheffield Centertainment) and Leopold Square are mainly chain restaurants - I have sat next to skaters in Wagamama at both locations :lol: I'm from darn sarf so not best placed to advise but there are approx a million Greggs in Sheff (only slight exaggeration :p) so you will not...

We'll make a plan once the practice groups are out but will almost certainly be at whichever section the British dance teams are in, unless they're still at home rinks. And make time to eat well on Tuesday, because who knows what the rest of the week will be like!

A bit annoying for me that on Tuesday both pairs and dance practices are running concurrently on the main and practice rinks. Though I guess not all of the ice dancers will have arrived in time for the Tuesday practices.

Why aren't Khavronina/Naryzhnyy competing this year? Quit, split or injured?

Looks like Lara Luft / Ilias Fourati have left Haus of Diamonds and moved to Kristen Fraser and Igor Lukanin. (Source: ISU bio, Krigor Studio insta) A bit of a surprise to me as Fourati has been with Gregory and Petukhov for years with various different partners but now that they seem to be...

Team GB announcement and athlete profiles (featuring factual inaccuracies, grammatical errors and misspelling Lilah Fear's name :lol:) Interviews to support the announcement: Luke Digby - Daily Record and Yorkshire Post. Props to the Record journo for comparing Vaipan-Law/Digby to Phyllis...

BIS have opened ice dance competitions in the UK to same-sex couples, with effect from the start of the 2026/27 qualifying season in March.
