Avonley is continuing to skate, but finding a partner will be very difficult.
And to think her AND Lorraine are searching at the same time...

Carreira was denied the advance track for citizenship, as the Trump Administration's position is that figure skaters don't qualify for it.If it is the citizenship issue, then it may be better to cut off the partnership now and find someone new to work with so that Beijing can still be the goal. But if citizenship is an issue for him to this degree, you'd have to think it's an issue for Christina Carreira also...(she doesn't have a Junior Worlds Gold even).

Anyway, N/K splitting is quite a surprise. What post-2022 4CC division ice dance will look like keeps shifting.
Nguyen/Kolesnik have split per her Instagram. She is looking for a new partner.

I'm heartbroken :sad21:
Vadym posted a very nice statement as well just now https://www.instagram.com/p/CCCNLDLJ651/
It doesn't sound like he intends to continue skating, but it's left open-ended.

Are there any male partners available for Lorraine or Avonley? They both need a high level partner and I can't think of any off the top of my head.
I wonder how involved USFS will get in trying to find both of them partners. They need to be forward thinking because H/D and C/B won't be around forever. History says teams that have been together for a long time do better long term, but we are going to have a lot of newish teams for 2026.

People on Twitter are speculating that Igor will try and pair up Avonley and Anthony Ponomarenko. Possible, but I really hope it doesn't happen because I love him and Christina as a team!

Not going to disagree with that! However... long shot/outside chance? Jeffrey Chen. Just spitballin' here.
Wishing the best for Avonley, Vadym, Lorraine and everyone else in this unpredictable sport. Also, love seeing Anthony and Christina together.
I also love them as a team.
I actually feel bad for them and all of the online speculation. They posted a photo of themselves together on instagram today and they are doing an interview with PJ tomorrow. I don't think they are splitting up. Anthony has always been very clear that he is really committed to Christina and their partnership. I have always found it a little sad that he feels like he needs to say that in every interview. Now, I could be totally wrong, but Anthony has given 0 indication that he is so committed to making the 2022 Olympics that he would end his long-term partnership to get there. I do think Igor may have thought about it, but I think if he was behind a big split, he would have cut to the chase and just named a new team.
