I have been considering going to this event, but the start list is just so... uninspiring. This event is usually held shortly before senior Worlds, and especially the French skaters have used it in the past to prepare for Worlds. But now the time until Worlds is just too big, no French single skaters, and... There are only three names there I would be interested in seeing (Murakami, Helgesson and Righini). Probably not worth sitting for hours in that ridiculously cold hall!
Think I will stick with the livestream (pretty sure there was one last year?).

Is Justus going to Worlds or is this his last competition (he's retiring, right?)? He really grew on me somehow, even if he is lacking in some areas. And I kind of liked Philip Harris at the Euros, too (especially the way he got injured and just carried on...well, not that I encourage that behavior, as a rule). But I think this will be Ivan's competition to lose.

The Skate Battle sounds like fun, and right up Ivan's alley, for sure!

He is not qualifying for Worlds at this time, this is his last chance. Let's see how it goes. Javier Raya will also have one last chance to qualify for Worlds (he only needs FS score to qualify). :)

According to the entries list, the new this season US senior pair of Gretchen Donlan and Nate Bartholomay will be here too.

From the photos, I see that Gracie Gold's former coach, Alex Ouriashev, now coaches Tomoki Hiwatashi. Previously, he was coached by Alexander Fadeev and his wife.

Quick update: Due to illness we had to withdraw from the Challenge Cup 2015. We will start preparing for the World Championships as soon as we're both back to full fitness. Good luck to everyone competing in The Hague this week!

The men and ladies advanced novice winners just put a big grin on my face. When I saw those names listed on the start list a few days ago, I knew this was gonna be the result. Too bad we didn't do a "predict the winners" for this event. :laugh2:
