I know Guignard/Fabbri have said they’re going to wait a couple of weeks before making a decision on Worlds, but I saw pictures of them on one of the post-competition open practices with some of the lower ranked teams, so I guess for them at least it’s still genuinely an open question. Since...

I'd guess that several of the mid-pack teams will be sitting down after Worlds (and maybe a holiday) and considering whether they want to put their bodies and their bank accounts through it for another four years. And likely some of them will decide that they're content with their careers and...

Ice dancers I like, please do skate to Shostakovich Jazz Suite and not to Bublé or Meghan Trainor!

Did BIS/Team GB ever say who was captain for the team event? It's a moot issue since there was no chance of having to do a presser, but I was telling someone it was Lewis and realised that was just my assumption based on Lilah being flagbearer. Fingers crossed for this evening 🤞

👀 Alexandra Golovkina-Dolinske is on the provisional entry list for the March Qualifier.

Gregory/Petukhov have been coaching for a while and seem to have just broken through these last few years with Tali/Lafornara, Aboian/Veselukhin, and now Vacklavikova/Lissauer looking promising too. The common factor seems to be that they’re excellent at pairing up young skaters from different...

The British Olympic Committee’s athlete profile has got Ed Appleby’s gender wrong. :shuffle:

Junior World team (BIS announcement): Alice Smith (Reserve: Arina Vorobeva) Arin Yorke (Reserve: Lloyd Thomson) Mimi Marler Davies / Joseph Black (Reserve: Ashlie Slatter / Louis Gregory) Neamh Davison / Daniel Borisov A great turn around for Arin Yorke's season after missing the JGP this...

So which of the four teams who skate before the flood will be the lucky one to make the cut? (My gut is saying Wang/Liu, even though my mind tells me it should be whichever of the other three skates the best on the day.)

According to this BIS article, British judges in Milano will be Nick Russell (ice dance) and Ann Findlay (unclear if she’ll be doing women and pairs or if there will be a third judge going too). Russell was on the panel at the GPF/JGPF, NHK and Trialeti Trophy this season, and did Euros last...

BIS article about the Futures Programme (involving top juniors plus Bushell/Peña) that they ran alongside Euros last week: British Ice Skating Futures Programme inspires next generation at European Championships in Sheffield. This seems like a great initiative to support the up and coming team...

Well, that's a choice that they made.

Yeah, the chaos on the concourse was my biggest gripe too, plus the fact that they didn't put the house lights up during intermissions/resurfacing. Some older or less mobile people in our section were really struggling with the steps in the dark. But overall I thought the LOC and the arena...

For anyone else who preordered merch, I never received the email saying it was ready to collect, but when I asked at the stand my order was there waiting for me.

My all event ticket disappeared from the app again but I had managed to save to iPhone wallet and no problem getting in. The main arena is quite temperate. I was sitting a couple of rows from the ice for dance practice this evening and wearing a woolly jumper but didn’t need my jacket too...
