As you can see, it's in the Athletes section of the USFS site.
That is weird especially since the US has so many dance teams. But are there elite dance teams from other countries registered for Finlandia?I didn't understand why USFS decided to send Navarro/Brommente to Finlandia, since they're US Bronze medalists and were assigned two senior GP. This is a senior B event. USFS should have sent the younger teams for international experience than sending the veteran there. Due to budget cut, many young teams have no chance to do any international competitions.
I agree with that.They're 12th in the world, they've been in the international senior circuit together since 2005. She has been in the international senior circuit since 2001 (with different partners). He's been there since 2003 (with different partner). I would doubt very much if the international judges would not know them. Not counting the Junior circuit.
I like them too but I think this is senior B event, USFS should give the younger teams some chance.
One of the favourites in the Ladies Kiira Korpi has withdrawn due to illness.
Good luck to Susanna Poykio on her comeback and we hope does well, could be her swan song year.
Laura Lepisto is probably favourite here, best of luck!!
USFS sent N/B who withdrew. I believe they withdrew after the entry deadline. At least they sent two teams to Karl Schafer.
