That would be Shanaeva/NaryzhnyyShowing my ignorance of ice dance here, but I remember loving the team from 2 seasons ago that skated to River by bishop Briggs. Idk if they're senior now but I hope the best for them!!
And they have a GP in Skate Canada! Can't wait to see what their RD isThat would be Shanaeva/Naryzhnyy
Thank you so much for posting these. I’ve been dying to see Abachkina/Drodz for the first time! I like them together - Abachkina did seem a bit slow, but she wasn’t skating competitively for a while so that’s to be expected. They need some more polish, but I hope they continue to develop well together.Moscow Competition FD: top-4

Since the US Classic scores don't count for SB, I'm very interested to see how they do at Skate Canada. The field is deeper there than at this event of course - I'm curious where they rank among those teams. Especially how they compare to Shanaeva/Naryzhnyy.Davis/Smolkin scored 190.63 which is a darn good score for debuting pair. That score lands them in the middle pack but more importantly that score is at par/higher to what Zagorski/Guerrero have been getting in international competitions. Obviously the scores in this competition is a bit inflated but now we can see the general perception of judges to them which is positive.
What really impressive was that they were able to hit their base elements and tied Hubbel/Donohue in the short and beat them in the free. Obviously they lost in GOEs but that should improve as they get more milage

That's a great news. It was not good to keep them without any entry.Just came across the news that Shevchenko/Eremenko were added to the line up at GP NHK. Entry list confirms it.
