I saw Wenjing Sui / Cong Han (CHN) and I booked my flight and hotel! It will be a privilege to see them live.

Conrad Orzel has been announced as the host pick.

This is how I feel. I'm thrilled for Conrad and I love that he got the spot, but I was hoping for Joseph. I wish they could both go.

 

[Gia_Sesshoumaru]

I forgot to add Alexia Paganini to the list originally.. and she has withdrawn from the competition.

 

[Andrea82]

Paganin's spot has gone to Mana Kawabe.

 

[Orchidea]

Paganin's spot has gone to Mana Kawabe.

how that is possible if she is not even alternative list? I still dont understand how this works

 

[Gia_Sesshoumaru]

Paganin's spot has gone to Mana Kawabe.

Thank you! I've updated the op.

 

[SnowWhite]

Mana was on the alternates list. The replacement list goes down by SB.

 

[Sjs5572]

Wow, an impressive group of women skaters. Eight or nine out of the 12 could potentially score 200 plus!

 

[Jontor]

Yes, SA and SC have amazing women. It will be super tough.

 

[GoneWithTheWind]

Rika Kihira is crossed out of Skate Canada on the women's grid (which is listed as being updated 'as of October 18'): https://www.isu.org/docman-document...-files-40/entries-6/25937-entries-ladies/file

I'm guessing this is to allow more recovery time, so best wishes to get better soon Rika!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I hope Rika recovers well soon! What a drag to start her Olympic season this way.

Looks like Mai Mihara will replace her.

I can't say I'm overly excited about this competition. Women's field looks ok and happy to see some of the dance teams. I wonder how Davis/Smolkin will do compared to Smart/Diaz. Also, of course, always happy to see Jason.

 

[litenkyckling]

I think this is one of the tougher dance assigments - all of these "middle of the pack" teams will need to be perfect if they want to beat eachother and get the bronze (although I think it'll likely be F/G's to lose). Very interested to see how D/S will do - since their last scores were a huge eyebrow raise for me. Comparably SkAm and Italy are much easier fields this year for middle teams - I can't imagine KoKo would've been anywhere near 6th place at Skate Canada for example.

Some good news about the participation of the Russians who coped with visa problems: https://twitter.com/ifsmagazine/status/1452632079368343563

If Stephen Gogolev had been competing and doing well, he may have got to go.

 

[4everchan]

If Stephen Gogolev had been competing and doing well, he may have got to go.

that's a lot of ifs... he hasn't competed in so long...there are other guys who have been knocking on the host spot door... Stephen may do Ontario sectionals anyways... so we will get to see him... if he is ready.
