    Cross-posting from the discussion in the retirements announcements thread: Ana Vaipan-Law and Luke Digby have ended their partnership as Luke is retiring from competition. It’s been a great six years (every invalid death spiral and all) and ultimately it must be very satisfying that they were...

    Official retirement announcements by figure skaters in 2025-2026

    I’m a little sad about this one, but it’s hard to be too sad when Luke is obviously making the right choice for him, and I’m glad he had the space and support in his partnership and wider team to be able to make that choice. It’s somewhat bittersweet, because recent performances suggested they...

    The Dance Hall 13: When You Dance on the Ice and Your Feet Twizzle Twice, That's Amore

    Another IAM(O) team. But I’m not surprised about this split; they did alright in juniors but have really struggled since moving up.

    Are Virtue/Moir planning another comeback? Because WTF is happening in Canadian ice dance?!

    Dance Retirements Poll

    That programme was bad but they also gave us the bubbly bong RD, one of the more memorable programmes from the last Olympic season. I'll be surprised if they are continuing. There are more than enough challenges to the life of a mid-pack ice dancer even when you don't have a small child and no...

    2022-23 and 2023-24 junior women’s champion and Junior Worlds competitor Alexa Severn has returned to competition - in solo ice dance. She won the bronze medal in juniors at the Unicorn Dance Trophy international at the weekend, finishing ahead of a couple of national medallists, but she won’t...

    Coaching Change Thread

    The main news here is the Barbara and Charlie of it all, but I’m a bit surprised that Manni/Roethlisberger are committing to another four years. They’ve been at the same making the cut at Euros, missing out at Worlds, just short of the GP level for a while now, and with the young teams coming up...

    Looks like we may have another country-swap skater in junior women: Veronika Lucko, who came first at the Qualifier this week has previously competed for Lithuania (ISU bio). Her most recent competition was the NRW Trophy in November so if she is switching to GB she wouldn't be eligible for the...

    2026 Worlds in Prague - info & planning thread

    Ugh, I hate that cutesy corporate tone. It says elsewhere that people can bring in banners or plushies to throw, but those aren’t going to fit in a 30x20x15cm bag.

    It also lists "Data, image and/or sound recording devices (except for mobile phones and tablets)" as prohibited.

    2026 Worlds in Prague - info & planning thread

    I was just checking out the pre-competition FAQ page, and it appears they aren't allowing personal cameras into the arena. A bit annoying, but better to know in advance I suppose.

    U.S.Women [#9]: Now That's What I'm F*@&%!$ Talking About!

    I didn't read Bradie's post as an announcement that she's continuing but only that she's decided not to compete at Worlds and that retirement (or not) is a separate decision which she isn't ready to make/announce at the moment.
