For whatever reason, Circelli is apparently doing a domestic event in Italy next week
He's (probably) just hanging out/training with his BFF Nikolaj, I doubt he's considering a country switch considering he has been very vocal in his IG about CANFund and raising money to support that program and competed at Regionals this year. However, more surprising things have happened.

That's interesting. He withdrew from Ontario November sectionals two weeks ago. Skate Canada Challenge entries should be out next week (last Friday was the final day for Ontario/Quebec/Alberta skaters to finalize their entries, today is for everyone else), so it'll be interesting to see if there's something more to this when those come out.

If he was changing countries, wouldn't Great Britain be better? Italy has strong leading men.
 
If Kaiya or Justine were sent to Warsaw, going by scores, they probably would have been in the fight to medal again. And after Kaiya's skate at SCI it is obvious she needs to get out to these events more to get her nerves under control. It would be nice to see how she has 'grown' after her SCI skate.
Unless I'm reading it wrong, only two of the singles women at Warsaw got the SP TES for Worlds. So they might have medalled but still not achieved what we are hoping for them.

I don't know if he is :shrug: Great Britain would probably be the better option for championship opportunities with the depth in Italy.

But now that I thought about it, it's weird timing. The competition in Italy starts November 25, and the senior men's free for Challenge is December 1. That's less than a week for two full competitions with travel between Italy and Winnipeg.
 
I know we are not supposed to compare results from one event to the next but going by the scores our top Pairs and Dancers have been getting so far, is going to make for an interesting Nationals. There just may be some upsets - esp in Dance.
After watching the Pairs Free at Espoo this morning, I was quite shocked at the skate of Brooke & Benjamin. Not to be a downer, but will they make 3rd at our Nationals? After such a successful season last year…
 
That fall at Espoo was scary. Very scary. I hope they'll do better soon without such frightening mistakes. I thought they were on the rise last year, but it looks as if they're standing still instead of improving. I'm sure they're very disappointed.

They probably won't. And they are lucky Nic and Emma have moved on.
 
Laurence & Nikolaj's score in Espoo is 0.30 higher than what Marjorie & Zach got in China. Obviously different panels, etc., but we could have the makings of an interesting domestic contest at the Final (which in turn will have implications for nationals and Four Continents podiums).

Brooke & Ben are coming back from injury, so I wouldn't be too worried for their prospects just yet.
 
Does anyone know what’s up with the junior ice dance team Lewis/Macmillan? I thought they had a very promising start on the junior Grand Prix circuit last year but haven’t seen them compete at all this year?

Not an expert at all on social media so there may be more information elsewhere, but this post from October 25, 2023 says Noah had double knee surgery. Hope he recovers well and they return to competition.
