Huh...can't find it. Gotta wait longer, then

Found it. I had to scroll WAY down to the bottom of the website and look for "press releases."

BUT YASSS!!!! ASHLEY!!!! And this will be my 4th consecutive time seeing Denis compete. That is if I go.

Papadakis/Cizeron vs. Virtue/Moir at NHK

I'm sure we'll have a lot of popcorn on standby for us.

Skate Canada would be so amazing with Hanyu, Chan, Virtue/Moir, Luca/Lanotte, Duhamel/Radford, Medvedeva, Tuktamysheva and Miyahara.

 

[Marta25]

10 spots for Ice Dance!! YES!

 

[noidont]

Unusual to send out a press release before actual release. I suppose they think the press in the US would get this out before they get off work. But the rest of the world has already gone off work for a while now...

 

[tulosai]

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING from this release is the bit buried at the end about each event having 10 ice dance couples

They did it last year as well.

 

[StitchMonkey]

well the Shibs and Ashley likely mean that Adam and Alexa/Chris will be at SA.

Miyahara is in the same Seed group as Gracie, so no Skate Canada or NHK for her.

 

[Layback11]

Yay! But where are the full lists...?

 

[Ice Dance]

10 spots for Ice Dance!! YES!

All is right with the World! (Also, very happy to see the Shibs scheduled for China).

Wow, Elena and Ruslan got Skate America!

 

[tulosai]

Skate America looks like it's going to be awesome.

 

[cheerknithanson]

Wait so M/C are doing juniors again? Aye yai yai......

 

[StitchMonkey]

Gracie vs Ashley at Skate America !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tulosai]

Wait so M/C are doing juniors again? Aye yai yai......

Honestly I'm not surprised. They never discussed any plans to go senior and in one interview she did say something to the effect that they weren't in any hurry to go senior. I am disappointed and think it's a mistake, but to me it doesn't come as a shock.
