2026-27 Grand Prix assignments are out

I disagree. For single skaters - If lesser known/ranked skaters want opportunities, they can do Challengers. If they do it well, they will be placed on the Alternate List and qualify for GP that way.

Sofia actually got her second assigment in Finland but she didn't come due to visa issues.
I think under the new rules they go strictly down the list, regardless of how many GPs the skaters already have. The only exceptions are if skater is already assigned to GP with opening OR can't be assigned due to limit of 3 entries per country.
____________
added: another exception is skater can't get visa at all or in time, as noted above
That would have been a total different story if she got two assignments in the first place. She would have time to sort out visa issues, and she could have been assigned somewhere else.

I mentioned Boyang to my Chinese boyfriend yesterday to see if he recognized him. He didn't recognize him, but he googled some Mandarin news articles from official Chinese government sources and according to him, their headlines implied that the Milan Olympics were his last dance...Glad to see Junhwan, Deniss, and Donovan on the list
Sad to see no Boyang and Gilles/Poirier in sight
As for Grand Prix assignments, I'm excited about Rio Nakata's debut and hope to see him live in Kelowna!

fair enough.. but all of these are outside shots.
Yes, for men they might be outside shots, but certainly not for the women. And the ones lower down the ranking that got an assignment has even a lesser shot.

Thanks, that is what I thought. Only thing that can change up is of course if someone improves their Challenger score or win if it´s like last season.
However I expect it to already be WDs before Challenger series start, if R/A that seems like the most uncertain card WD in ice dance, my best guess is that Harris/Chan will get GP France and Val/Kazimov GP Finlandia and they both have two spots.

U.S. National Team 2026 Grand Prix Assignments Announced - U.S. Figure Skating
The International Skating Union (ISU) today announced the athlete assignments for the 2026 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series, including 2026 Skate America.
usfigureskating.org
Weird, ISU has two TBD pair spots at Skate America on the grid, but USFS press release says only one spot is TBD. It does have the two dance spots as TBD.
Edit: https://isu-skating.com/figure-skating/news/isu-figure-skating-grand-prix-2026-27-pairs-entries/
This ISU list only has 7 entrants for Skate America.

Didn't Matteo retire after the OLYG? I was surprised to see his name there. On a side note, what is going on with the site? Cloudflare rate limit tempban thinking you're some kind of bot? It took forever just to be able to read a single post. Crazy stuff.

I had this problem for some minutes, but now it seems fixed.
I was also surprised about Matteo Rizzo's presence on the list.

Now that gp assignments are out.
I am surprised at how many OGM are continuing.
We have from the USA alysa liu, amber glenn, ilia malin and from France Beaudry and Cizeron.
I dont recall that many Ogm continuing on.
In fact more stop.
They might come back the year before the Olympics but usually not after.
Most ogm stop or retire. Sarah Hughes tried but she couldn't.
Can someone tell me how many ogm stayed and continued
Yuzuru Hanyu did
Yuna did when she came back in

It isn't available yet, but should get uploaded here: https://isu-skating.com/figure-skating/events/isu-grand-prix/ At the moment, last year's list is still there (and shouldn't be).

I was also surprised to see his name there, and I strongly suspect it will be removed in the next few days.
