In their welcome-home interview, Castelli & Shnapir said they are not sure yet whether they will be touring with SO I. (They hope they will be.)
.. does IMG run the tour?
Jason needs an agent. Would it be a conflict for them to represent him and Jeremy? Just a thought. With one tour and once agency running it the other skaters are definitely at a disadvantage.
I imagine that Adelina would not be well-received in Korea, even if she had nothing to do with the final result.
This is unfortunate. I can imagine thugs booing at her anywhere and I don't think there is anything we can do about it. Maybe throw popcorn and coke at them while they are doing it. But anyway, she has to face it. She made a very unpopular decision by deciding to dare to challenge Yuna, so she has to live with it now. I hope she will consolidate her gold at the Worlds and that will silence everybody and clear the path for her. I really want to see her.
Here is the schedule from the official website. The tour dates are overlapped among them.
Stars on Ice US: 4/4 - 5/18 http://www.starsonice.com/get-tickets.html
Stars on Ice Japan: 4/12 - 4/20 http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/soi2014/
Stars on Ice Canada: 4/25 - 5/15 http://www.starsonice.ca/get-tickets.html
It seems they are running two separate teams this year, one for US and the other for Canada/Japan. Most of the cast for the Canadian part is announced already, all of them Canadians. I guess the US tour will be mostly Americans, too.
Canadian tour: Chan, Virtue & Moir, Browning, Rochette, Buttle, Duhamel & Radford, Osmond, Weaver & Poje, and Sawyer.
Yeah I love that US cast. It was smart of them to include Nagasu. The team seemed to get along well in Sochi so that should make it easier to tour together.
I assume that Polina will guest star in CA.
For those wondering about the SOI Japan cast, it seems to be the same for all three cities:
Tokyo http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/soi2014/tokyo.html (Apr 11, 12, 13)
Nagoya http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/soi2014/nagoya.html (Apr 16, 17)
Osaka http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/soi2014/osaka.html (Apr 19, 20)
Buttle, Rochette, Arakawa, Oda, Mao Asada, Suzuki, Kanako Murakami, Virtue/Moir, the Shibutanis, the Reeds, Takahashi/Kihara.
ETA: Kozuka, Chan, Pang/Tong, Fernandez, Hanyu, and Machida have been added to the SOI Japan cast.
