2018-2019 GP Assignments

[andromache]

Had a little hope that Anna would get at least one GP.....but it wasn't meant to be, her name's not on it. At least Elena has a chance.

Could the Russian host spot go to her?

Wait Nazarova and Nikitin are representing Russia now? Where is Pogo??

She didn't bring the results, and that's sadly what happens when you disappear from the season's best 24 list.

OMG! There's a chance that McNamara/Carpenter and Parsons/Parsons might medal in at least 1 GP! AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Danny T]

The good news for Yuzuru is there is no way possible he loses his 1st Grand Prix this time.

Don't dare him ... (last time he couldn't possibly lose his 1st GP CoC happened so...........)

its a typo, theyre still ukr on their other gp

 

[Yatagarasu]

The good news for Yuzuru is there is no way possible he loses his 1st Grand Prix this time.

He can very easily lose it. It's with Boyang and Kolyada and he is never on top form for the first GP (plus his rehab process this time around)

I would think they will give that TBD spot to Samodurova maybe

 

[Mrs. P]

She didn't bring the results, and that's sadly what happens when you disappear from the season's best 24 list.

I was thinking she could return as a comeback skater like Gracie did, but then I realize that she competed last season.

 

[IlVoloFan]

Perfect choices for Zhenya and P/C and OMG Gracie is backk !!!

 

[Andrea82]

Tina Garabedian/SImon Proulx Senecal got a GP....and she is on Ice Partner Search!

 

[MaiKatze]

Could the Russian host spot go to her?

Yes. It's the only hope we have to see her. But I don't know how her standing is with the russian fed. I don't have so much hope for that.

 

[Mayumi1990]

Also no Gubanova!! Hopefully Pogo gets the host pick. Also no Stolbova/Klimov!

 

[figurefan0726]

For the assignments, do skaters accept the invitation or is it a requirement to go?

 

[SamuraiKike]

Was not expecting Finland to get a GP. Wonder who their hostpicks are?

Im guessing:
Ladies: Peltonen, Lindfors, Saarinen???
Men: Virtanen, Galay, Papp???
Pairs: 3 free spots for everybody!!!
Dance: Torn/Partanen, Turkilla/Versluis, 1 free spot.

A much weaker field that what a KOR event would have been but still congrats to FIN!

Can they invite Samodurova if she does well at her first event?
Or yeah, if Pogo is back into competitive shape.

 

[synteis]

I'm so excited for the Ladies event at SC!!!!

I have tickets and I get to see:
- Wakaba!
- Zhenya!
- Tukt!
- Gabby!
- Lillibet vs Zhenya aka Orser v Etieri

 

[chillychews]

Friends, please educate me. I have been out of the FS loop since the Olympics ended. Why isn't China hosting one of the GP's this year? I was so confused when I heard Finland was hosting one instead.

 

[moriel]

Nice to see Rusfed treating Alina nicely.
They gave her the 2 closest GPs, so almost no traveling.

Or Gubanova, who I forgot about until just now. (And she's one of my faaaaaaaaaves.)
