2024-25 Retirements, Splits and New Partnerships

[saine]

Charlie Anderson/Cayden Dawson are still on the splits list - was there an announcement?

There hasn't been an announcement. It was corrected on the country team lists which is different.

@surimi I noticed the following new teams were under splits instead of under new partnerships:
- Charlie Anderson / Cayden Dawson (Canada)
- Maissane Chine / Morgan Laliberte-Laurent (France)

Thanks for the correction! It's fixed now.

Anastasia Polibina and Pavel Golovishnikov (PL ice dance) have retired today. It was announced during MKS Axel Gala. They will be coaches at the club and I wish them all the best.
During the same gala it was announced that Filip Bojanowski teamed with Helena Cahart. They will be representing Poland.

I remember Helena Carhart. She skated on the JGP with Volodymyr Horovyi, for the U.S. Glad she will be able to get back into things.

If she regains what she had back then, it may be very interesting partnership. My only fear is that Filip's partnerships don't last very long.

My only fear is that Filip's partnerships don't last very long.

Besides the one with Oliwia Borowska - they were skating together for six years. So maybe he'll finally find a partner he'll stay with longer...

Have we had any confirmation that they are actually now a team, and didn't just attend the camp together as a trial or out of convenience?

Alex and Maia Shibutani announced to return to ICE Dance competition - coached by Marina Zueva and Massimo Scali

I am super curious what shape are they in? How strong are they going to be against some very good American teams - will they even make it out of the US? I don't expect them to challenge Chock and Bates. CB are loved by he judges over rthis quadrenniel and the only team that seems guaranteed a medal come olympics. P squared, Italy, Britain, France and the new French team, LaLa,, Careirra and Pomonarenko? all fighting it out for medals. This is a time where perhaps we don't have outstanding or iconic teams but very very good teams and the judgees seem fickle with the exception of CB. One momen LaLa are fast on the rise then it is PC. Fear and Gibson have been all over the map. Italy are great technicians but there are signs that maybe they stayed around toolong but the olympics are in Italy so one can guess an olympic medal is a reality. I think the teams likely to be tossed are Piper and Paul. They just seem to be the team that ends just off the olympic team, skating coicidentally when Canada is weak and not li kely to gett a team medal and the judges have tossed them before just when it seemed like they were on the brink of brilliance. Fear and Gibson also are all over the palce and in part because while they are a pleasing team their skating skills are not the best. PC got a boost this year but I forgot it was in the US;; I find them significantly behind France, LaLa, cb, Italy,Spain, Piper and Paul, Fear and Gibson but you just never know. Not sure if Spain is olympic eligible. But some very good team might struggle to be in the top ten just guessing Chock and Bates; Piper and Paul; Fear and gibson, Italy, France 1 & 2 (whoever) LaLa, CP and the Shibsibs if they make it, the Finns? Lithuanians?, Someone has o end out of the top ten..

they've supposedly been training for several months, and i hope that's the case. if they're just now coming back to training they have a really long road ahead of them.

who is their coach ?

who is their coach ?

If you are referring to Shira Ichilov / Mikhail Nosovitsky, then their coach is Galit Chait.

I know I have been saying it for years, but Galit never ages! When I saw the first photo, I wasn't actually sure which of the two people standing with Mikhail was his new partner. It was only when I clicked through to the second photo that I realised that it was the girl with the black hair. (It seems that Galit is currently in the process of changing her hair colour. So that's why I didn't recognise her).

If you are referring to Alexandra Balyan / Dominic Andrei, I don't know. But Thomas GIPOULOU (current partner of Agathe TOURNADRE, and former partner of Louise BORDET) is listed as an employee on the LinkedIn page for Dreux Royal Skating.

However, given that Thomas is still competing in Juniors and is only 2 years older than Tudor Dominic ANDREI, it is probably unlikely that he is coaching them.

Thomas is no longer competing, he toured with Holiday on Ice the past year.

However, I agree that he is very young, so if he actually is one of the coaches there, he is not doing this alone. His own (former) coach, Violetta Zakhlyupana, has reposted the Dreux Royal Skating skater recruitment post - Maybe she's working with him?

New ice dance team for Japan- Ikura Kushida and Koshiro Shimada

Great for ice dance, but I'm sad that I won't see Koshiro competing in singles anymore - I always enjoyed his performances.
