Happy for the skaters who have a chance to compete there. It's important for them in the OG season.
OTOH, I'm gutted for Japan, China and Korea. No Russians at Lombardia, either, but at least they can hold their Russian Cup stages which are highly competitive on their own.

 

[ladyjane]

I believe the senior Russian skaters have their test skates this weekend....

 

[Novalis]

Wow! So many interesting names. I'm going with Grassl winning mens, followed by Kvitelashvili, Alysa Liu the ladies with Kiibus second, G/F from Italy the ice dance.

Was there an official communication from Japan stating that skaters couldn't participate in CS events or was that for last year?

I'm particularly confused as to why the skaters from Stephane's group aren't here.

That was last year. No statement has been made this year so far. They still have Challengers (except for Nebelhorn, Finlandia and the now-cancelled Nepela) listed in their calendar, and Japanese juniors were supposed to be absent from the first 3 JGP stages only.
But now we see that the 4th JGP stage is also without Japanese juniors, and there are no JPN skaters at Lombardia. Really sad, I hoped at least the seniors would get a chance to present their programs to the judges before skating them on the GP. What score the local judges in Japan give them does not tell much. Not to mention ranking points may be important for skaters to get into better groups on GP. I know there's SoE in Japan, but this is the OG season. If judges don't like JPN skaters' programs, they need to find out now instead of at GP. -_-

my baby boy has a good shot for gold!

 

[Mauvedreamer]

Hoping Audrey Shin will do well here.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Roman Galay, Emmi Peltonen and Laura Karhunen has all WD from Lombardia Trophy. Anyone know why? Thought perhaps it may be the skating federation taking the decision, but apparently the Finnish Ice dancers are still on the entries list.

 

[Andrea82]

BARQUERO Laura / ZANDRON Marco

[Brauliomx]

Glad we have a chance to see pairs even if it's not part of the 'actual' competition

 

[gsk8]

Prediction Contest is up!

I totally agree, and 9 pairs is not too shabby. Skaters from4 countries taking part, so I presume there are minimum TES points to be attained for these couples (for those who need them). Glad to see Daria and Michel will be competing here.

No starting orders or time schedules are up yet.

 

[N.P.]

Is their any news about an official schedule of events anywhere? All I can't ind online is a general schedule, of start and end dates, but no times for specific disciplines/events, etc.
