Down from three to one ice dance competitions in Turkiye this season - these teams will be hoping Rettstatt doesn't call in on his way back to NY.

The live results page for the British Championships has been populated, and Kristen Spours is still on the start list. A few withdrawals: Saskia Zainchkovskaya (senior women's bronze medallist last year), Leilah Patten (junior ladies champion - and it looks like she's deleted her insta so no...

CTES watch update - One Challenger (Tallinn Trophy) and two B events (Santa Claus Cup, Bosphorus Cup) this weekend are the last dance competitions ahead of the Euros entry deadline. Ivanitskiy/Sperry (need +1.78) will be in Istanbul aiming for the third Finnish spot as well as...

Thank you @indyw :) Sounds like the filming at Wembley was probably for the Christmas Eve doc, but hopefully the Notts footage will also make it to broadcast/streaming - I'd love to see the show again.

I'll be very happy to see them in Sheffield, but four competitions in four weeks (even three competitions in four weeks before they picked up Finlandia) does seem like an odd strategic choice. I wouldn't call it a regression exactly, but it's a shame that after building such good momentum last...

Bookmarking this post to return to it in February :lol:

Mark Hanretty and Molly Lanaghan have been named as the in arena hosts for Euros (I guess the Ben and Ashley role from Boston Worlds). https://www.instagram.com/p/DRXhA7viGrU/ Mark's a good fit for this, I think: he's enthusiastic, knows who all the competitors are, and has lots of media...

With no more international competitions before the British Championships next weekend, here's my tally of the current standings towards qualification for championship teams this season. Ever-helpful BIS have not published a 2025-26 international selection policy, so I'm assuming it's not...

I wouldn't bet against general chaos, the way this season has gone so far....

@Hanna kindly replied in the PBP thread and linked this page: https://www.taitoluisteluliitto.fi/maajoukkue/seasonbest/yl-jt-pl-arvokilpailuvalintojen-tilastot/ Level 4 transparency from the Finnish federation!

Megan Cunningham (British advanced novice solo dance champion) is also a Bulgarian citizen, so they had several options for which country to represent!

Apologies if this has already been discussed in the RD thread but I didn't watch live (never has going to adult edge class been a wiser choice) and don't know if I can face diving in. :lol: From my perspective, there are a few different things going on here: Stricter panels - I'm a fan of...

Fear/Gibson were part of the launch of the Team GB ceremony wear kit: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRKQANGjjNn/ Ana Vaipan-Law was part of the media day for the athletic kit lauch a couple of weeks ago. (I'm not a fan of the pastels!) https://www.instagram.com/p/DQxF4loiBhh/

Very Eurotrash 90s! (I could watch without a VPN.)

90% of the audience at the British Championships is skater family and friends so if they’re offered Finlandia it would be a shame to turn down that experience for another skate in front of the usual crowd at Ice Sheffield, especially as they don’t have any competitors for the second Olympic...
