2022-23 Grand Prix assignments

[anonymoose_au]

Peng/Jin are out of both their GPs, due to Jin suffering from tendonitis


Holichenko/Darenskyi are also out of GP Espoo.

Nooo not Peng/Jin, they're my favourite Chinese pair! I was so excited to see them this season.

Sigh...get well soon Jin and take care of that tendon.

I hope Efimova/Blommaert are able to fill one of the spots. Based on their Challenger scores, they could challenge for a medal/a place in the final, but currently are only assigned to Skate Canada.

Crafoord/Crafoord and Valesi/Piazza currently have 1 spot each (both were at Skate America) so could be in line for a second assignment? Osipova/Epstein are also a possible option, they don't yet have any assignments.

It would be nice to see Valesi/Piazza or Osipova/Epstein at France, then Crafoord/Crafoord and Efimova/Blommaert at Espoo

I've almost lost hope in Yunoki/Ichihashi being selected as they seem to train further away... I'd really like them to get more experience!

I hope Peng/Jin will be able to go to 4CC

Thanks for the info. Any idea why?

I haven't seen any reason given yet, not sure if anyone else has any idea?

It's probably either travel/visa issues or injury. Considering he's (possibly) training at TCC this season I'm guessing it's injury

Orzel assigned to NHK

Efimova/Blommaert and Valesi/Piazza to Espoo

 

[surimi]

Okay, this is so sad for team China. for Wang/Liu now...

I´m not sure this has anything to do about it, but I just read that China has put themselves in a new zero Covid-lockdown again from today. But it´s in Wuhan I think, so I´m not sure that would affect him.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

It has been confirmed that Boyang's WD is due to pain present in his jumps and spins after surgery. He has recently been training in Canada, and his coaches urged the WD.

Ava Marie Ziegler -- USA -- is newly listed for Skate Canada!!!!

Some of us were hoping that she'd get to skate in extra events when she won the Challenger in ... Hungary, I think.

I am elated.

Kevin Aymoz out of GP France, replaced by Landry le May It must be his previous injury still bothering him. Wishing him a speedy recovery!

poor Kevin. Maybe it's autocorrect at play but his name is Landry.... but I guess Laundry would be a nice name for a figure skater hoping to be clean

oops, unfortunate typo. I've corrected it.

 

[TT_Fin]

Kevin is also booked for Espoo. I hope he recovers before it, but I really hope he is totally recovered from the injury. If he doesn't - I hope he really does, but don't hope he skates with injury - who could replace him then? Maybe too early to think about it.

Was Kevin's injury an ankle injury? I hope he takes the time to let it heal.
Gabriele Frangipani won a challenger recently and has only 1 GP event (NHK). Or Aleksandr Selevko trains quite close by? Although I would like to see Lee Sihyeong get a second event.

 

[Bluediamonds09]

Is bradie ready for this week? I'd hope that if she isn't she will withdraw and another skater can get the opportunity. I do want to see bradie if she's ready.

 

[chuckm]

Uh---the competition starts in just 3 days. If Bradie withdrew now, the Brits probably wouldn't fill the spot (and they don't have to fill it, under the rules). If she hasn't withdrawn by now, she's probably good to go.

 

[Andrea82]

Zukova/Bidar have withdrawn from NHK Trophy

Matte / Ferland have withdrawn from Espoo
Safina/Berulova have withdrawn from Espoo

Osipova/Epstein have been assigned to Espoo (still 1 spot vacant)
