She recently placed 9th at Worlds and 15th at the Olympics.

Very best wishes to her for the future!

Truly saddened by these news. I was so much looking forward to seeing her in SkCan.

She says they are competing next week - anyone know where?

Most assume it is next week's Challenge Cup in Pennsylvania since ice dance is included in that event. The last two national qualifying series competitions are next week - the other event next week is the Austin Autumn Classic in Texas, but that event does not have dance. The Challenge Cup is also where Davis and Smolkin are rumored to compete at. So could be a quite interesting dance event!

Can you see this IG Post?



His name is Ivan Desyatov. I do not know him, but that doesn't mean anything.

His name is Ivan Desyatov. I do not know him, but that doesn't mean anything.

He was on last season's JGP with Ekaterina Andreeva, representing Belarus.

Danish skater Linus COLMOR JEPSEN (younger brother of Leonora and older brother of Anna-Flora) has a new Ice Dance partner in the form of French skater Elise MONTANER. They will represent France.

I found out on the Provisional Entry List for the Budapest Trophy. Although, we probably won't see them there as they are only down as substitutes (Lou TERREAUX / Noe PERRON currently have the slot).

Linus' last partner was Sofía VAL, when they were representing Spain. But, as Linus hasn't competed since they split at the end of the 2019-20 Season, he is good to go for his new country.

It will be so good to see one of my kids back in action!!!

ALL THE BEST!!!

Noël-Antoine Pierre of France has teamed up with Sasha Farkhoutdinov/Fakhroudinov (there are differing spelling of her last name online, not sure which is correct.) as a new pairs team. She skated with Danny Neudecker last season on the US Championship series, and prior to that partnered Aaron Singletary in US novice pairs. Noël-Antoine competed with Coline Keriven for France last season, she already has a new partner. Not sure which country they plan to represent but on Instagram Sasha lists herself as living/training in Paris.

Mariah Bell retires

Sad. I’m glad I got that bunny to her at Cranberry last year.

 

[Seven Sisters]

I’ll always remember Mariah Bell this way; IMHO this program was the perfect expression of what she was all about. Best of luck to her in her future endeavours!

Best of luck to Mariah, she brought joy to the ice, and that for me is the highest gift a skater can give.

My favorite was part of the wayback machine and of course Rohene choreo : Her "Chicago" SP.

Plus it gives us the odd couple of Raf and Rohene in the KnC with her.

Mariah was able to end her competitive career on a high note- so happy for her, may her next chapter bring her the same joy she found in skating.

 

[slider11]

Mariah went out like a champ! Class act!

Good luck to Mariah in her future endeavors.

Congratulations to Isabella! May she and Vanya dance well in their first competition together!

And very best wishes to Mariah in her new endeavors. And many thanks for her joyful skating.

 

[16Olympics]

I'm so glad Mariah had a glorious end to her competitive career. Everyone who saw her felt her joy. The last year has been sweet to watch as she lived her ultimate dream of a US champion & an Olympian with a medal. She's a good friend to her rink mates and she'll be an asset and a treasure in whichever field she pursues. Best wishes Mariah!

Apparently, Bella & Vanya won their first competition in Philly at the end of September.
