2022-23 Grand Prix assignments

[lariko]

Eva-Lotta got NHK.

That’s good news

 

[Andrea82]

Alison Schumacher crossed out of Skate Canada grid on ISU website

Also TBD (Canada) crossed out from Pairs grid. I guess it means Skate Canada won't use the third host pick and will be given to "foreign" couples.

I guess there are no more Canadian pairs who meet the SB criteria. However L/E got two stages as I understand it, not meeting it.

L/E were first assigned the host spot at Skate Canada, for which the criteria don't have to be met (so that's also not the reason Canada is giving up its second host spot). They scored above the SB criteria at US Classic and only then were they assigned to their second GP (Skate America).

Ah, yes, I've found the rule. I thought only last year's SB counted.

Usually it is like you say. They only considered those in the previous year's SB top 75. Current season's SB was used only by those already in the top 75 to get the minimum score needed in case they didn't achieve it in previous season.

This year it seems they changed the rule for Pairs, possibly because there are almost no pairs left in the replacement list. If you get the minimum score (132.65), you are added to the replacement list.


With Schumacher's withdrawal, also the third Women host pick has been given back. Spot went to US Kate Wang.

Kate Wang.

I'm looking forward to this Grand Prix season more than ever.
Finally a fair competition!

That’s great pick. She was quite fun to watch. Looking forward to seeing her live.

I guess with Proft-Nadeau not competing last weekend at Souvenir Georges-Éthier... it sealed the deal for the 3rd pairs spot... That's too bad.

Skate Canada vacant pair spot assigned to Efimova/Blommaert.

Nice!

 

[Ziotic]

Skate Canada vacant pair spot assigned to Efimova/Blommaert.

I’m thinking they may also get the NHK vacant spot.

 

[lariko]

Higuchi is not replaced yet in Skate Canada. I hope they will, though the time is growing short now. I really would like the full 12 in women.

I don't know the exact number of days, but at a certain point, GPs are no longer obligated to invite subs when a skater w/d. Someone who knows the details could tell you here if Skate Canada is obligated or not at this point.

Yeah, probably unlikely, since they are maxed out on US/Can now. No easy subs.

Unless there is someone who’s trains in N/A but also the ticket from Japan is already purchased so often times I remember them subbing for another Japanese skater
