Philadelphia Summer International and the return of Cranberry International.

SEA Trophy is scheduled in Singapore at the beginning of September.

The season is supposed to close with Hollins Trophy International in Sydney on 9-12th June.

Philadelphia and Cranberry are back to back. I wonder when we learn about entries for either

 

[4everchan]

wow... only two events in Canada...

OMG a Junior Grand Prix event in Riga, Latvia

Wait, so there are three international FS events in Latvia in the upcoming season... more than in Canada? What's going on?

Mmmm. Don't like that they put in a page break between the last event of 2022 and the first event of 2023. It meant printing the figure skating part of the PDF took 3 sheets of paper rather than two.

Seriously, though, great to see two events in the UK, with one in England and one in Scotland. But, given how many skating competitions get held in Sheffield, I think I would have preferred the English event to be held somewhere else.

And how great is it to see that we have events in New Zealand and Australia?! And with them being held in the Southern Hemisphere winter, it extends the season into the second week of June. Although, it would have maybe made more sense to have them a bit closer together, to enable skaters to take in both with one journey.

You know, it would be nice to see some more events held in the Southern Hemisphere during what is our summer / their winter. Maybe a trip to South America for events in at least one of Argentina, Chile and Brazil. And a long overdue return to South Africa.

Also delighted to see an event in Mexico. And two events in Turkey.

It will be interesting to see where the Senior GP's that sandwich the NHK Trophy end up being held. Personally, I reckon the ISU will be keen to keep them in their originally intended regions (Asia for SGP4 and Eastern Europe for SGP6).

Selfishly, I'm really happy to see another figure skating event taking place in Sheffield....

I can't find any other details about the Britannia Cup, though - there's another Britannia Cup event for synchro skating, but the one listed in https://www.isu.org/figure-skating/rules/fsk-communications/28572-isu-communication-2485/file is for novice, junior and senior skaters.

(I wonder if @La Rhumba knows?)

 

[Ruthypegs]

I wonder when we'll hear about the venues for the replacement Cup of China and Rostelecom Grand Prix events?

 

[ladyjane]

I am pleased to see the Netherlands is hosting the Lumiere Cup for the synchro fans (Not a challenger this time) and that there will be The Challenge Cup again and this time not only a Sr Dance event but also Juniors. I hope not to miss out this time (I was in hospital last time alas).

Vasiljevs on the podium at Europeans, Latvia is on the rise.

I hope you can make it.

Happy to see a full six weeks between 4CC and Sr. Worlds. Is that usual, in a non-Olympic year?

 

[chuckm]

More important: when will the meeting be held to select GP Skaters?

 

[moonvine]

Philadelphia and Cranberry are back to back. I wonder when we learn about entries for either

Historically Cranberry (with one whole season of history) teases some of the skaters with a full list a week or two? before the event. I think we can assume, barring injury, that all the SCOB skaters of appropriate level will be skating at Cranberry. In my experience of one Philly International we didn't find out who was skating until the night before and I took pictures of the entries and posted them.

More important: when will the meeting be held to select GP Skaters?

Will probably be later than usual, given that two GP hosts have yet to be announced. Ideally they need the host countries set before they can do the skater selection.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

I think the issue of GP hosts is going to be brought up at the Congress.

That would be logical.

I just want to point out that the Philadelphia Summer Championship is a local club event this year, it does not include an ISU event. They may wait until the last minute to post the entries; I don't know what to expect.

The linked document says the ISU sanctioned Philly International is returning, unless I am misreading it?

I will be honest, although I will watch the club entries if I am there already (one year Dice Murakami skated Club because JSF would not authorize the International entry), the International entries are what interest me.

I had written: I just want to point out that the Philadelphia Summer Championship is a local club event this year, it does not include an ISU event.

You're right; El Henry, the ISU does seem to have scheduled a Philadelphia Summer International Event. It's very strange that the Ice Works website continues to have nothing about this, but I guess it's happening. There's no other rink in Aston that could be hosting this.

 

[lariko]

So, still no 2 GP hosts? And they also have pairs in every senior GP? How?
