Yes, their only couple Maria Kazakova / Georgy Reviya placed 3rd at the Nebelhorn Trophy 2021. But they WD from most of the competitions this season, and nobody knows if they'll compete in the Olympics.

Just like the pairs couple they're very promising too - they won the JGP final and were 2nd at JWC in 2019/2020 - so I hope they will be there!

I love them! I saw them skate at Nebelhorn and have been looking out for them ever since. Their FD is brilliant and unusual!

In the past, American Isabella Tobias, who skated with a LTU ice dancer, tried also to obtain LTU citizenship. In preparation for the citizenship application, she took years of Lithuanian language classes, took and passed the history/citizenship test given by the LTU Citizenship Commission (all answers had to be answered verbally in Lithuanian), and passed the language test.

It is not that accurate about Isabella having passed the language test. I read in Tobias's interview that the Comission during the test offered her to speak English and she agreed to it.
Later the Citizenship Comission issued a conclusion that Isabella was not ready to integrate to Lithuanian society and had not sufficient language command. I suppose they a bit provoked her by offering to speak English and actually expected she would deny it and continue speaking Lithuanian.
It was a decision of Lithuanian president to grant Isabella Tobias citizenship upon the request of Sports Minister and despite the Citizenship Comission recommendations.

That's great that Swedish Olympic Committee revised their severe rules and let figure skaters compete at the Games. Happy for Josefin and Nikolaj.

I suppose it's not official yet, but surely Brendan Kerry and Kailani Craine will be nominated by Australia. They both captured the spots for Australia at Nebelhorn, and they both had the highest TES compared to the other possible candidates for filling in the spots at Finlandia and 4CC.
