[matmuh]

since we have another withdrawal, Richard Dornbush :sad21:, dont forget to change your predictions everyone :agree:

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Just wanted to let you know that I have removed Richard DORNBUSH from the Men's Entries table in the Original Post, as he has withdrawn due to injury. Thank you to karne for letting us know about it.

As I haven't been online much over the past week due to things going on in real life, I also took the opportunity to check the Provisional Entry List PDF to see if there were any other changes. And there were.

Firstly, Kseniya PONOMARYOVA / Oleg ALTUKHOV have been restored to the PDF, having been removed in the first update.

Secondly, Haven DENNEY / Brandon FRAZIER are no longer on the PDF, having previously only been missing from the draft Practice Group lists. So, is it official that they have now withdrawn? (I can't find anything in the Withdrawals Thread).

I would love to see the Shibs actually take first but the US fed is too in love with Chock/Bates. C/B would have to have a disastrous event and I don't wish that on anyone.

... Secondly, Haven DENNEY / Brandon FRAZIER are no longer on the PDF, having previously only been missing from the draft Practice Group lists. So, is it official that they have now withdrawn? (I can't find anything in the Withdrawals Thread)....

Re Denney/Frazier, IMO it is safe to assume that they are not competing, although I have not seen any outright announcement from them or from USFS.

(1) See Brandon's reply to Jessica Calalang's tweet that she will miss Haven and Brandon at Nats. (Jessica attached a photo of Zack and herself with Haven and Brandon.)

Brandon tweeted back, "... can't wait to watch ����".

https://twitter.com/Brandon_F1992/status/688421842390917121 (Jan 16)​

ETA:

And in reply to Jessica's corresponding Instagram, Haven replied, "I'm really gonna miss seeing you guys too!!!! Good luck next week!! ������

https://www.instagram.com/p/BAm9BCavtwp/ (Jan 16)​

(2) No mention whatsoever of Haven and Brandon :sad4: in Lynn Rutherford's IN preview of the pairs field at Nats:

http://web.icenetwork.com/news/2016/01/14/161918330/scimeca-knierim-hit-reset-ahead-of-title-defense (Jan 14)​

Sad that Haven and Brandon will not be at Nats, but I look forward to their return next season. It is reassuring that the tone of their replies seems upbeat to me.

---

ETA (on Jan 17):

(3) On the NBC preview show today, Terry Gannon mentioned in passing that Haven and Brandon will not be competing at Nats.​

More on the line of up and coming US starts, I was watching the US Intermediate Ice Dance championships and saw a a team of cuties that I predict have a BIG future. Elizabeth Tkachenko and Alexei "sorry-Russian name" are US skaters and really have tremendous skills and presence! For their first dance they had to wait on the ice about 10 min while some technical problem. Others would have had a melt-down. They stayed calmed and relaxed and skated very nicely! Oh, and I forgot, they are 9 and 10 years old!
