[russell30]

I just noted that Ira Vannut is listed here: is this her first international competition since Worlds 2011? She was really good, technically...

Yes thats right, Ira Vannut is back she is also listed in Coupe De Nice

V/M have withdrawn due to injury to Scott !?!?

God , what's the scoop?

Press Release from Skate Canada:

Minor muscle strain in Scott's neck. Wishing Scott a speedy recovery.

Sorry to hear that Tessa and Scott won't be able to compete. Was looking forward to their Carmen program. I am sure they will be ready for Skate Canada at the end of the month.
The event may still be fun to watch-three of the teams were top 10 at World's last year, no? Can't wait to see what they bring this year.

[slipslidin]

In a way, it won't satisfy our curiousity regarding Virtue and Moir, but it will be more fun without them. One of those top ten teams will have a gold medal. The order of finish could be reshuffled. I expect Hubbell and Donohue to move up in the world, this year. They are a powerful new team with great coaching and choreography. Not a prediction, but I wouldn't be surprised to see B/S. H/D, C/L in that order.

I'm the most looking forward to seeing how Weir does and how he and Dornbush stack up against each other. Maybe we can get an idea of how Nationals will go. Also can't wait to see how the coaching change affects Hanyu - hopefully for the better.

As far as Virtue and Moir go, I did want to see their program and see what they did with Carmen, but as long as Scott recovers and they can compete in the GP, I'll be satisfied.

Lipnitskaia. Easy 3lz-3t. 2a-3t-2t in the warm-up. And her spins are supereb:-)

Wow, thanks for the report! I guess Julia's injury is not that serious.
