I‘m mostly looking forward to seeing the four Russian girls and hopefully, their new SP! Fingers crossed that we‘ll see a broadcast.

It's: Tatsuya Tsuboi, Shun Sato, Sora Tarumi
Yuna Shiraiwa, Tomoe Kawabata and Rika Tejima
Riku Miura / Shoya Ichihashi

I think it looks like a good cast! Would love to see Mai or Mako in there too.

Thanks for the names corrections, I figured most of them was wrongly translated from the original kanji.

A good cast nonetheless, but perhaps maybe a little watered down from the 2018 cast, which featured Tessa & Scott along with Aliona & Bruno and Medvedeva?

Maybe on paper, but the truth is that Ice Dance and Pairs aren't particularly popular in Japan. Zagitova is more popular than Medvedeva there, and Vincent and the 3As have received a lot of attention recently. And that was even before Vincent's announced coaching change.

Good point! :agree: And Vanessa & Morgan were a bit hit in Korea, so it promises to be a good exhibition.

Vincent Zhou is a US skater. He's this year's World bronze medalist.

Aliona Savchenko is pregnant, so she isn't skating right now, and I'm sure Medvedeva probably wants to start focusing on training and getting programs for the season. She's been touring practically since last season ended.

Whether Vincent is “good like Nathan” will be a matter of opinion: your opinion of Nathan, for example. I don’t think that can be answered.

Vincent’s coaches are Tammy Gambill and Mie Hamada.

Looking forward to seeing the 4A’s this weekend. I wonder if Alena Anna and Sasha will show new competitive programs for next season? I am not sure if Alina has had time to have a new program choreographed since she’s been touring non stop but I am looking forward to seeing what the 3A will show us!
