    The Dance Hall 13: When You Dance on the Ice and Your Feet Twizzle Twice, That's Amore

    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.)

    2026 Milano-Cortina Olympics - Figure Skating Qualification

    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...

    British Skating News, 2022 and beyond

    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.

    2026 Euros in Sheffield GBR planning thread

    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...

    2026 Euros in Sheffield GBR planning thread

    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.

    2026 Euros in Sheffield GBR planning thread

    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...

    The Dance Hall 13: When You Dance on the Ice and Your Feet Twizzle Twice, That's Amore

    So we have seven athletes who are already Olympians representing another country (Lauriault/Le Gac, Davis/Smolkin, Laurence Fournier-Beaudry, Allison Reed, Tim Dieck) and another nine who previously competed internationally at lower levels for another country (Jason Chan, Piper Gilles, Evgeniia...

    Have you truly experienced the UK if you haven’t had to take a rail replacement bus? Also, that sucks.

    The Dance Hall 13: When You Dance on the Ice and Your Feet Twizzle Twice, That's Amore

    I think White Crow generally works better for singles (where for me Kolyada and Levito are the standouts, but it's elevated a lot of fairly average skaters) and pairs (loved Cain/LeDuc) than dance, but I'm generally not a fan of ballet programmes in ice dance. The balletic movement and use of...

    2026 Euros in Sheffield GBR planning thread

    Yeah, it's only giving me the option to transfer the gala tickets too. Apparently the solution to the tickets not showing in the app was to post about it on FSU. They've just popped up!

    2026 Euros in Sheffield GBR planning thread

    Sorry, I'm going to be the annoying person with a Ticketmaster question. Have any all-event ticketholders been able to access them in the Ticketmasker app? I've got the gala ones there (and received an email telling me they were available) but not the all-event. I could still access them in my...

    Last season's junior pairs silver medallists Sophie Dracas and Pelham Wright have split. He's on IPS and has switched disciplines again (to ice dance this time).

    The Dance Hall 13: When You Dance on the Ice and Your Feet Twizzle Twice, That's Amore

    I guess Bulgaria is the new Turkiye when it comes to ice dance scoring. (Though I don't think there was a stream, so V/K could surprise us by pushing for the final group at Euros...maybe...I guess...) New Bulgarian team of Silvia Lutay (aka Albena Denkova's niece) & Konstantin Tkachenko also...
