I love Irmak - she is a strong personality. I hope she finds a new partner

Sophia Lexi Jacqueline Frank (Women, Philippines) is taking a step back from figure skating for mental health. She does say in her post that it isn't a retirement post.

This sounds like a retirement announcement from Eva-Lotta Kiibus (EST)

Sad to read, she has struggled so much. I hope things get better for her soon!

It's always sad to read when a skater has to quit for health reasons, regardless of whether it's physical health or mental health. Hopefully Eva feels a lot happier now, and good luck to her in the new chapter of her life! Perhaps she'll gravitate towards a skating-related career such as a therapist or a choreographer since she says she loves skating a lot. Anyways, she'll be missed as I liked her skating style and originality.

I assume they're dancers?

You're assuming correctly.

That didn't take long (they had been skating together since 2023 I think). It was nice to have a Romanian couple in ID. I am saddened.

I've found out only yesterday when reading one of the first pages that Tkachenko/Kiliakov retired. I was shocked. Damn, this is so sad & inexplicable to me. I loved this team and they are so young. Liz is still just a teenager. I wonder whether some internal shenanigangs in Israeli fed & the possible conflict with their coach Galit Chait are not behind it.

They were not coached by Chait. They were coached by his father in Virginia.

Although I am happy that she has officially anounced it, I am sad I am not going to see her again.

Ok, I stand corrected. I saw someone saying that somewhere, I guess that person was misled by Chait sometimes sitting with them in K'n'C. They had heaps of potential as proven by their junior worlds medal.

Liza was my favourite Russian figure skater for a decade or so.... All I can say is THANK YOU !
