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...

Since Turkkila/Versluis were a host pick presumably Fin fed could choose to give the spot to Ivanitskiy/Sperry. Anyway, if Bekker/Hernandez get it that’s good for them but bad for me, since I assume they would withdraw from the British Championships rather than doing four competitions in four...

Gregory and Petukhov will always be Fake G/P to me!

Looks like Olga Mikutina has left Galit Chait and co and gone back to her long-time coach Elena Romanova: http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00103213.htm

And I can remember my mother having a moan about how T&D’s comeback was unfair on Humphreys/Lanning. :lol:

Thanks - that's good to know.

I have some sympathy for the Mrazeks, who are clearly budget constrained and also ran into copyright issues last season, but I hope the New Radicals strike this down.

Start orders are out for the Ice Dance Final. No Yi/Savelev, but I think everyone else we were expecting to be there made it to the draw. Are Chen/Chitipakhovian in juniors another Dostatni team? I feel apprehensive now when I see another recently arrived from Russia boy representing the Broadmoor.

Anyone know what's up with Ramanauskaite/Kizala? They withdrew from Worlds with injury and haven't competed yet this season.

After seeing their great FD at Bolero Cup, Cui/Rogers seem more than ready for a Challenger. A bit surprised that there is nothing for the Peals though, not even one of the PAYG B events. They had some decent scores in Lake Placid and their summer competitions.

And Hairsine/Surenkov-Gultchev's ISU bio now lists them as representing Bulgaria. I'm always sorry to lose skaters, but this is likely a good move for them. They're probably capable of getting their tech minimums, at least for Euros, but I think are more likely to get overtaken by the new teams...

Solène Mazingue and Geoffrey Brissaud have started a podcast (youtubecast?) too, where they are discussing "entrepreneurship, sports, real-life experiences, and the stories that shape us" (in French). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FBFBMhOMK0 I only listened to the first part, where Solène is...

BIS have published an updated list today and Bushell/Peña are now in (Hairsine/Surenkov-Gultchev are not). Bethan Whiteman in senior women and Tallulah Bowers and Alex Knox in junior women are now listed as Q instead of R.
