ISU's event page: https://www.isu.org/figure-skating/.../13366/33/coupe-de-printemps?templateParam=11

Official website: https://coupeduprintemps.com/

Entries were due before Friday, February 24 so I'm starting this competition thread now because I saw @shutterbug has posted some preliminary entries in the Canadian Men's news thread in GSD:

According to this, and this, Matthew Newnham (Sr Nats 6) and David Howes (Nov Nats 1) have been assigned

Also William Chan in Novice (bronze medalist at Nationals), according to his club's post 2 days ago: https://www.instagram.com/p/CpBmUHqPTtn/

Hopefully full entries will be published online by next week.

ETA: Japan's Mone Chiba mentioned during 4CC that her next international will be here.

So smart for people who can to keep going and try to get scores rather than wait until the fall.

Fingers crossed there will be some Canadian women entered in this event too

Coupe du Printemps was livestreamed for free last year -- and in previous years when held pre-pandemic -- via their YouTube channel (2022 videos were made by fans from the livestream), but since the YT link is broken now on their website , it's possible it will cost money to watch this year? Hopefully the streaming info will be made available in the days ahead.

Skate Canada press release:

Nine Promising Skaters to Compete at Coupe du Printemps This Weekend

OTTAWA, ON (March 15, 2023) – A team of nine Canadian skaters will be competing at the Coupe du Printemps competition set to take place in Luxembourg from March 17 – 19, 2023. The Coupe du Printemps is an international figure skating competition targeted towards single novice, junior and senior...

Seems Bombardier's senior international debut will have to wait. Sigh...

2023 Junior/Senior Skate Canada Challenge winner Matthew Newnham will be the sole Canadian to compete in the senior category after 2023 Canadian Tire National Skating Championships bronze medalist Fiona Bombardier had to withdraw due to an injury.

 

[fan]

wasn't matther newnham with ravi? it lists his coach as jessica gosse

 

[tony]

wasn't matther newnham with ravi? it lists his coach as jessica gosse

I am not 100% positive on how Skate Canada lists coaches in press releases, but since they also mention team leaders and the judge here, it's probably the team actually going to the event.

Ravi has Worlds in Japan with Orzel.

 

[Sylvia]

wasn't matther newnham with ravi? it lists his coach as jessica gosse

Yes - Newnham's ISU bio currently lists Ravi Walia - I assume Gosse is going with him to LUX (IIRC, Walia's IG story, now gone, wished him well in his senior international debut) - refer to @tony's post above mine.

ETA: I wish USFS would publish Team USA press releases for these smaller internationals (nothing for 2023 Egna Dance, Bavarian, Challenge Cup or this one ).

 

[fan]

ah. makes sense. thanks

 

[maureenfarone]

I'm beginning to think that there will not be a live stream for this comp Competitions start on Friday and there doesn't seem to be any information on how to access a stream or what the cost might be. I hope I am wrong as I wanted to see Jimmy Ma!

I've been communicating with the livestream supplier to inquire if the pay per view purchase includes post event on demand viewing. Apparently it's the decision of the rights holder and "has not been decided yet" (?). They're going to check into it further and get back to me. I'll update if/when I know more.

Something wrong with the results/entries pages? Can't pull them up, the background is in gray, not the usual colors. Anyone else having this problem?
