I’ve seen Iris used by novice teams for the Westminster Waltz pattern dance, so I think the BPM is too low for the Golden Waltz but it could be used by juniors.

Aleksandra Golovkina-Dolinskė has confirmed that she is switching from Lithuania to the UK (a long post in Lithuanian which I couldn't copy for machine translation): https://www.instagram.com/p/DXpMwyJDa7A/ She has lived and trained here for seven or eight years. Her last competition for...

Which one of them will get the :EVILLE: edit in the next Olympic channel mini-series?

:fragile: I had a bad feeling we weren't done with midpack splits after the week of Canadian partnership doom, but Lim/Quan weren't on my worry shortlist. This is a tough split (though at least it seems about as amicable as these things get) but I hope they are both able to find happy and...

Another team I’m going to miss but I can’t be too sad about, because Ioulia’s right: After all the challenges and struggles of her career it’s so nice that she’s able to end it happily and making this choice herself. Has Wozniak said anything about his future plans? (Like perhaps his feelings...

I’m so glad I got to see her fabulous free skate in Sheffield.

Isla Shenton and Joel Kirby have split too: https://www.instagram.com/p/DXFFJMlDM7F/ They were at the pairs camp in Berlin only last week, and I had thought they had a decent chance of getting a JGP. I enjoyed their skating at the British Championships and they had some nice quality pairs...

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...

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...

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?!

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...
