What happened with Copely/Stagniunas, have they split?
They were at Nebelhorn Trophy (3th place) and CoR (8th place). I don't know what happened with them...

Berton & Hotarek can't go to Olympics because of citizenship issue. So Italy wants most likely decide between the two couples that are eligible. I heard that Berton & Hotarek will go to Worlds instead.Berton& Hotarek are not going despite beating Zanforlin/Degli Esposti at nationals.. whats the story??
I don't know if they split, but Copely's request for citizenship was rejected by Lithuanian president before their withdrawal from Skate Canada so it's likely...What happened with Copely/Stagniunas, have they split?? if so is a big shame cause we wont have a full field at the olympics and they had good potential.
Yes, they split.What about Pajardi Caruso? Im afraid they split too.

Estonia,Georgia and Hungary entries so it could go down to only 20 dance teams at Vancouver

I hope so. They are a lovely Team.According to Lithuanian press Copely had injury (left leg) before Skate Canada. She is not allowed to skate yet. If everything goes well they will be participating at Worlds.
Where is Slovakia's Ivana Reitmeyerova? She was very promising last year especially in worlds. Even though she is young, she had very beautiful body language and artistic touch for skating. If she continues her developing she'll be fantastic in few years!
I didn't even notice she wasn't listed until you pointed that count - she just won her national title with a score of 122.70... and has already qualified her country a berth at the Olympics which one would assume would be filled by her. Quite interestingly, I don't think this a matter of her not being 'good enough', this is something completely different altogether: Slovakian champions in men, pairs and dance Reitmayer, Cermanova and Hanulak and Visnova and Csolley are all not competing either - no one from Slovakia is.
I think slovakian will be added at the next update, there was the same thing with the bulgarian team last year, who were finally all in Helsinki
With our federation you never know. But I don't think there are any more tests needed, the team should be Reitmayerova, Reitmayer, Cermakova & Hanulak - pairs and Visnova & Csolley - ice dance. Maybe they just did not send the entries on time.Well, that's some good news... maybe they have to pass a last minute test or something? Who knows?

No, they didn't split. They have to miss European Championships due to Copely's injury. I don't know what kind of injury it is but the head of Lithuanian Skating Federation stated that it is a svere injury and she might not heal until March. So, it's not clear if they are going to participate in Worlds. It's really a pitty. They have been so unlucky this season. I wish them a speedy recovery and I hope that they continue to skate no matter what obstacles they come across in their way. They are still young and they have another oppurtunity to participate in Olympics.
I read that Copely's request for citizenship was rejected by Lithuanian president before their withdrawal from Skate Canada...
