Hmmm, Leng/Shnapir are no longer on the entry list. Actually, there are no US pairs listed. I know there was talk, not sure if it was confirmed, that L/S also dropped out of the Boston Open comp this weekend. Hopefully this just means they want a little more time to come together as a new couple. But I was really hoping to see how they are looking!

Any info about the schedule? I think there has been a streaming in the past for this event... :think:

Official event website:

It has a "Live" tab with nothing there at the moment. Last year STREAMING was embedded at the Live link, if I am not mistaken.

Streaming seems likely also because ...

The ISU event page for 2014 Nepela has a "Live stream" link (which for now goes to a bad page for me).

But the link there is similar to the direct link for Nepela streaming in past years, so fingers crossed that the correct link soon will be available.​

... Really excited for the debut of the Shibutanis' new programs.

:agree: Go, Shibutanis!

Hmmm, Leng/Shnapir are no longer on the entry list. Actually, there are no US pairs listed. I know there was talk, not sure if it was confirmed, that L/S also dropped out of the Boston Open comp this weekend.

Thx for the update re Leng/Shnapir, charmblade. Too bad that they will miss Nepela.

This just in:

"Dear figure skating friends!

Under the rules of the ISU Challenger series let us inform you that the category of pairs will not take place at the Ondrej Nepela Trophy due to the resignation of all competitors.
At the same time we would like to inform you, that the competition in all other categories will be done according to the plans.
Thank you for your understanding."

Thx for the news, TMC. Too bad.

The aforementioned schedule as of yesterday still included pairs, so the "resignation of all competitors" must have just happened within the last day.

I wonder whether the four pairs still entered actually were asked to resign b/c the number was not sufficient for Challenger status. :think:

Yes, the news was posted only 2 hours ago. And I also think they were asked because they couldn't get the required number.

We're on the same page :) ... I meant that it does not seem as if the pair withdrawals had taken place any earlier, but then were kept under wraps until today's announcement.

As of Sep 27, the four pair entries on the ISU site were:

1 Nicole DELLA MONICA / Matteo GUARISE ITA 1
2 Kristina ASTAKHOVA / Alexei ROGONOV RUS 2
3 Vasilisa DAVANKOVA / Alexander ENBERT RUS 2
4 Ksenia STOLBOVA / Fedor KLIMOV RUS 2

Unfortunate for them. :(

Yes, it would be... exceedingly odd if they all just upped and decided to "resign" en masse...

Sigh. Pity.

@LynnRutherford seems to confirm our suspicion that the mass withdrawal was the result of the pairs event losing Challenger status -- although not clear whether the skaters themselves had the idea on their own to opt out or whether Nepela organizers asked them to.

... A "B" needs athletes min. 3 countries to count as ISU Challenger Series event. When that didn't happen others withdraw.

It may be Russian Federation who doesn't want to pay for their expenses if they can't earn any points. It makes much more sense to send them to another event.

Anyone know/have any thoughts on why there were so few pairs? Is it because there aren't enough pairs to "go around"?

STARTING ORDERS/RESULTS page for Nepela (ETA, I was too optimistic earlier -- the results are not posted until the conclusion of the segment; no live updates during the segment):

Re LIVE STREAMING, listings for Nepela 2014 are here:

The streaming link is here as well:

Local time, of course.

My guess -- only a guess -- is that geoblocking will not be in effect. Some non-Nepela listings have an annotation of: "Only for SK." Nepela listings do not have the annotation.

Clicking on the "Záznam" button will connect to the streaming, if I am not mistaken.

2013 Nepela video is archived on this page -- so the chances of 2014 archiving seem good, IMO.

Of the Challenger competitions so far, only Nebelhorn easily met the Pairs criteria for Challenger status.

The US Classic squeaked by, meeting just the barest minimums of the Pairs criteria.

Whether or not Lombardia also managed to squeak by for Pairs depends on whether Prölß/Blommaert withdrew before or after the draw (I do not know).

What a shame. I was particularly looking forward to seeing Stolbova and Klimov but I can understand why teams might have decided to pull out if they found out the competition wasn't going to count the way they had hoped it would.
