That´s odd, didn´t Skate America officially announce their TBD spot? Because it still says TBD

 

[Dreamer57]

I really hope someone has a Barbie or Barbie&Ken exhibition program this season.

Gubanova had quite a good Barbie program last season with cameo from Matteo
For a couple I'm hoping for Holly and Jason (Margot is from Oz after all)!

Now that Hase/Volodin have 2 GP events they have a decent chance of getting to the final (last season, pairs needed 24 points). The NHK line-up is my favourite so far

you can't pretend that ISU remember to update both of its two pages!
They added Sea to Skate America page but not yet on the general grid.

Sarina Joos officially confirmed she is representing Italy now. She is listed to compete at a domestic competition. The question is, can she already compete internationally with the country switch?

Yeah I completely forgot about that. I can't remember how the rules are with changing federations. Does she have to sit out for a whole season? Or is it a year? She last competed last november for Switzerland, I guess she won't be eligible for the Replacement List. I keep her on for now...

 

[FlossieH]

It looks like Raffaele Zich (ITA) is down to do the Junior GP Armenia, which would make him ineligible as a replacement for a senior GP.

 

[Bluediamonds09]

What skater collapsed at the Broadmoor Open? According to TSL (and they're usually correct on gossip) this skater has a GP coming up and may not compete in it. Of course they hinted around the news and never said a name. I'm surprised their video was the first time I'm hearing this. I mean, collapsing on the ice and having the perimeters come to lift you away??? How does one prepare for a GP event after that?

Did they speak literally of figuratively? Collapsing can mean as you say, on the ice, and paramedics come to your rescue... but he can simply mean "skated very badly"

 

[Seven Sisters]

I have no personal knowledge, but there is discussion over on FSU identifying the skater in question as Grace Hanns, recently assigned to Skate America with partner Danny Neudecker. My best wishes for a full recovery.

 

[midori green]

There was a brief discussion of this in the US Pairs thread in Skate of the Nations.

 

[SmileHappy34]

Yes I think they may have added it. Like I read earlier that Sota Y retired. I wasn't expecting vto see his name in competition. He completed in an event.

I’m sorry, what?

 

[SmileHappy34]

I’m sorry, what?

Thank u. As I stated I thought I saw the TBD name listed for Skate America. I could be mistaken. I did see it on the USFSA website and Wikipedia page. I thought that it is listed on the updated entry page list. As for Sota Yamato I thought someone or read something before the season started that he retire. Than I saw he completed ( not completed) against Ilia Malinin in his Challenger event. He is listed as GP entries. I can be mistaken about his retirement. I don't know. I find it interesting that posters post certain skaters or teams retire or split than I see they are skating. Nothing wrong I find fascinating . I wonder how they get information. Thank you for pointing out my misspelled wrong.

Yes, I wish her a full recovery as well. Take care of yourselves.

Maybe you can cross out Valtter Virtanen as he has turned to pairs and did not take GP Espoo TBD spot either.

That must have either been an unfounded rumor, or a mistranslation from Japanese. Barring injury -*knock on wood*- Sota's nowhere close to retiring yet, thankfully.

 

[4everchan]

Sota just competed at ACI. He certainly didn't look like a skater retiring.

 

[SmileHappy34]

I am glad

Sota just competed at ACI. He certainly didn't look like a skater retiring.
