2022-23 Coaching, Country and Discipline changes

[Yalinmurdock]

Not only has she been training there, but her mom has also confirmed that she'll be switching to represent Spain in the comments under this post:



Sounds like her mom is (partially?) Spanish, as they went to visit her family when they were in Spain.

Hi yes my mom is Spanish. Milly was so close to my mom, it was hard for us when she passed away from covid . Skating for Spain would have made my mom very proud.

Thank you for confirming the Spanish "connection" and my sympathies on the passing of your mother and Milly's grandmother.

Best of luck to Milly in her new adventures!

Skating for Spain

How is that possible ? I thought accorcing ISU rule 109 a single skater has to have a citizenship of the country or a proof of a one year residence of the country that the skater wants to respresent.

It seems like Uliana would have received the OKay to compete for Canada as she is registered in the next gen competition. (Meaning that she would be competing as a junior)

Donovan Carrillo is now training in Toronto Canada with coaches Jonathan Hunter and Myke Gillman. They work out of Thornhill FSC, if I am not mistaken.

This appears to be a permanent change. (He has spent weeks on and off there in the past). If anyone with better Spanish than me (which doesn't take much ) can confirm or deny, I would be grateful. I do not see any mention of his (former?) coach Gregorio Nuñez.

ETA: confirmed by Spanish speakers in the Donovan FF this is a permanent change. Also confirmed that he has left coach Goyo (Nuñez).

Seems like Sarina and Noemi Joos might have switched countries from Switzerland to Italy.

They have both exchanged the flags in their IG bios from Swiss flags to Italian flags, and both are not included in the Swiss national team either.

 

[surimi]

Okay, and both skaters are singles I suppose? I'm not really familiar with their names.

Sarina is a woman single skater, born 2006. She was 2nd at Warsaw Cup last season, 3rd at EYOF 2022 and has reached also some podium placements in small competitions. After checking I found out she was 3rd and Switzerland nationals. Naomi is, I suppose, her little sister.

Yes, Naomi is her little sister, and also a single skater, although on the junior and novice level. She competed at JGP Ostrava last season.

Thanks! I'll edit the Jooses, and Donovan, into the 2023-24 changes thread.

Also, does anyone know when (and if really) JunHwan left Brian Orser? I've read something along those lines, but I'm not sure if it's old news or listing-worthy.

Hmm okaayy??

Well they have been training a lot with Lorenzo Magri in the last couple of months, but I didn´t think they would change country..

I would imagine financial reasons?

 

[gleungc6]

Italy might also want to be fielding more skaters given the Torino team event?

I'd also not be surprised if Livia Kaiser being chosen for both Euros and Jr Worlds instead of splitting the assignments between Sarina and Livia despite Sarina having significantly higher scores internationally was another deciding factor for choosing to switch to another country.
