The official site doesn't mention KvdPI've read that Kevin van der Perren is also going (makes sense, esp. if Jenna is skating there). That's the top four guys from this year's Europeans! Should be a pretty cool event to watch.
That'd be nice Kristoffer Berntsson is never boring.Kristoffer Berntsson's coming as well.
Broke a skate?! Wow.Adrian Schultheiss planned to go, but broke a skate at the Nordics practice last weekend, and had to withdrawn Nordics and the Challenge Cup.
Yes, really bad :/ He got new skates this season and had a foot injury due to that. Now he has to got new skates again, just a month before Worlds...Broke a skate?! Wow.
He had pulled a muscle and was slightly injured.
“My boot came apart during practice last night”, he explained. “I was wondering why it was so hard to do the flip and Lutz; now I know. I'll be fine in a few days, but I have to buy new boots and break them in. I don't know how long that will take, but I've cancelled my participation in the Challenge Cup, I need to concentrate on getting ready for Worlds”.
I didn't read it anywhere official, just on some forum. I imagine if he was entered they'd list him, who wouldn't want to publicize having the entire Euros podium skate at their event? I knew Brian and yannick were definite because it was announced a few days ago by FFSG, and of course Contesti won a medal in it last year.The official site doesn't mention KvdP

ETA: I thought Contesti won last year but now I'm not sure.
Yes, USFS is sending 4 young skaters that did well at Nationals to their first international competition -- they are: Laney Diggs (10th in Senior Ladies), DeeDee Leng and Ellie Kawamura (1st and 2nd in Junior Ladies, respectively) and Novice men's champ Joshua Farris. Leng, Kawamura and Farris will all compete as juniors.Does anybody know if any Americans are going?

I noticed both Adrian Schultheiss and Kristoffer Berntsson are listed - does anyone know if they're actually going to participate? And Jenni Vahamaa, too - I hope she'll will be in good enough shape.
Dunno if Sweden will send someone instead of Adrian.Kristoffer Berntsson's coming as well. Adrian Schultheiss planned to go, but broke a skate at the Nordics practice last weekend, and had to withdrawn Nordics and the Challenge Cup.
Stefan Lindemann is going!!
Sorry, but I think, that Stefan will not skate there.
I hear that he have some problems with injurys again, so that the season is over for him. :disagree:
