Any news on Georgy Kunitsa?

I have just edited him in splits: https://twitter.com/AnythingGOE/status/1517208382247211009 Do you happen to know what category he and Evgenia were in? I presume a Russian pair since it mentions Moskvina, but they don't have a fanfest here so I can't be sure.

Yes, they were a Russian pair.
Thanks for all your efforts to keep this thread up-to-date, btw!

Yes they were a pair, their isu bio is here: http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00111437.htm

Do you have Shira Ichilov/Volodymyr Byelikov ice dance split for Israel? They had a good RD at worlds, they were close to making the free dance.

I sure don't. I see this is the second split for Shira this season. I hope she's more lucky in the next!

New US pairs team debuting, Hazel Collier and Misha Mitrofanov: https://twitter.com/AnythingGOE/status/1516522926715064325

I reported this weeks ago in the thread talking about the skating benefit in Boston at Harvard at the beginning of this month.O

But that was before an official announcement had appeared. I don't doubt you knew, but it's hardly fair to take that tone with @surimi, who does a wonderful job of updating the OP with all the information relevant to this thread.

@surimi, for all you do to keep us informed and able to find the sources!

Thank you. As others have already replied, yes they were a pair team. I discovered them watching the Cup of Russia series, and don't know much about them otherwise. (I posted a few of their videos in Georgy's fan fest). I'm sorry to hear thhat they split, but hope we'll see more of them - especialy Georgy, as his skating especially caught my eye and I found it very appealing.

Interesting pairing. I would have thought Misha would have picked someone with stronger presence and skating skills. I suppose Hazel could improve.

I think he picked who was available at SCOB.

I wasn't taking any tone with anyone, just mentioned that it was posted long ago in another thread, presuming said poster didn't see it. So, please stop making an issue where there wasn't one in the first place.

There are more rumours.
Pleshkov skates with Boyarintseva. Boyarintseva skated with Shagalov, who seems to have retired. Pleshkov skated with Pepeleva, who is taking a break (she said taking a break, but considering that she can’t land jumps any more, it may be a permanent break).

Geinish/Mironov split up. Geinish is with Chigiriev. I would love to know with whom Mironov is! He was the stronger partner.

Kostiukovich was skating with Sviatchenko, but apparently Sviatchenko is now with Maria Pavlova in Sochi, so it might have been just a tryout with Kostiukovich and it didn’t work out.

Maria Pavlova was skating this past season with a Hungarian guy, Balazs Nagy. If they split up and she is now with Sviatchenko, could they skate for Hungary? I guess it depends whether she already managed to get Hungarian citizenship.

Pavlova has Hungarian citizenship - she got it in Feb. I'm more curious about Balazs, though - he's a good skater but doubt he has much choice among ladies at his level now that he decided to skate for Hungary and not the US. Any news about him?

 

[dorispulaski]

I suppose he could return to the US, if released? US pairs, which seemed to be going strong, sadly have openings?

It looks like Ashley/Tim are not skating in the second leg of the ice dreams tour. I don't know if that means anything.

Which stops does that consist of?

Did they skate in the first leg?

Yeah, exactly. I bet everyone looking for a partner wishes they could pick and choose among a bevy of skilled candidates to get the absolute best match. It just doesn't happen that way, as most of us realize. Skaters realize this most of all.

Delaware, Connecticut, Massachusetts. They missed the first leg and were pulled from some advertising for the second leg. Could come back for the third leg but also could end up retiring.

Can't skaters who are retired also skate in shows? I mean, Nancy Kerrigan and Max Aaron are skating.

 

[Moxiejan]

Iirc, they were added to one SOI show, in San Jose. So maybe there’s a conflict.

I hope they will continue to do shows, if they end up retiring.
