I completely agree. I mean, Virtue/Moir had only been out of competition for 2 seasons, and they did a Challenger when they came back. And at NHK the Shibs will be going up against Fear/Gibson and Guignard/Fabbri. Do they really plan to go into that without even shaking off the competitive rust...

Absolutely on this, as well. I hate that there's no dance CS in North America, especially given how many teams train here.

I don't believe G/P or C/B have done a Challenger since 2021, so them not doing one this year it pretty expected. It's a change for G/F compared what they've been doing. I would also question it, given how last season ended, but who knows, we'll see how it works for them. The Shibutanis not...

That's a choice

I don't that's possible, as 4CC will be less than a year from his last international event for France.

Right, but Maddie didn't 'get' 4 from SC. She got 2, and entered 2 others by her own choice. Gabby also competed in 2 club comps in the US (only the SP at the first one). Domestic events in another country probably help a bit more with competition nerves I guess (for those not training in that...

It will be the 2nd one SC has assigned her to. The other two were domestic events (not Canadian domestic events, but still domestic) that she chose to go to. I want to see the other women get spots too, but seriously, that can said without the hyperbole about Maddie. Two CS assignments is not...

Where did 235.23 come from for Selevko? He got 235.7 at Cranberry, and his 2024-25 SB was 234.56. How did they come up with the .23?

Choi should be off the men's list, since he's on the JGP, right? And I thought only the CS medalists in singles got their scores updated for the list last season, so wouldn't Jaekeun Lee be a little further down? Or maybe I've misremembered that.

Some program thoughts from Kinoshita and Bolero: Fear/Gibson – the RD is pretty meh for me right now. Fun at times, but but I don't love the cuts and it's not a stand out. Really hoped for more from them. But I can see them tweaking it to the point that it really works. The FD was great. I...

What does Bradie have for previous season points besides top 3 at 4CCs? That would only give her 90 points (6*15), so I guess I'm forgetting one of the categories.

My take on FB/C and L/B, scores aside (I don't agree with the gap), is that both programs are... fine. Some cool choreo, but also reminiscent of past, more interesting programs, and overall nothing special yet. Which is okay, it's early and there's time for improvement. But I would have hoped...

Grayson, Anthony, and David Bondar were all close at Cranberry. I'm hoping to see at least one of them get a CS (I'd love for all three to, but then I'm not the one that pays for it). I'd send Grayson, even without the quad. His 3A has been solid in the SP, and he's been the top Canadian guy at...

@her grace yeah, it'll be an interesting season. Because of the age change, we had more teams stick around in (or return to) junior than we would have had otherwise, but this year there's tons of turnover. Side note, I was on the Wikipedia page for the 2024-25 JGP to remind myself of all the...

It is 2 for the JGP, with 3 for the host for singles and dance. Maybe that's what you were thinking of. Pairs has max 3 since only 4 JGP events have pairs.
