Thanks for the info. I had forgotten they were together off ice. I hope they both find good partners if they wish to continue.

Easier said than done when you care about the individual athletes. I can't imagine how heart-wrenching some injustices must feel. Its hard to watch post-skate interviews when the athlete is unable to hold tears not from anger but genuine confusion as to why they are being treated such a way.
I am really into synchro being an option for ice dancers without partners now, at least in Canada.
Also I'm going to read into which Canadians weren't removed. Skate Canada got everyone who announced (or were removed before announcing in Proft/Nadeau's case.) I'm using that as evidence against the Gogo retirement rumours.
Yes, Davison and Caller is old news. It was discussed on the forum at the time, and I think it might just have been missed when the OP for this thread was updated (which is easily done). They split after the JGP they did this year, and before nationals. They'd mainly been training in public sessions because they reportedly couldn't afford private ice time and trying to train pairs elements in public sessions is very difficult.

Thanks for the update. These last two teams are China and Canada, I suppose?

Now, @mods, since the new season is starting soon, should I open a new thread?

Sure go ahead. Just include link to this thread and I'll move the 2023-24 to References.
One last new team?
Megan Yudin/Patricio Romano Rossi Lopez are a new pairs team for Spain.
Megan hasn't competed internationally for Canada.

Will be interesting to see if they'll skate in Seniors or as Juniors if the age limit is raised.
I can see either senior/junior depending on how they do. I was more interested in their jump directions. It doesn't look like they'll be mirror pairs, they're both CW.Will be interesting to see if they'll skate in Seniors or as Juniors if the age limit is raised.

That's also cool though, basically all pairs are CCW jumpers.
Megan was the stronger jumper in her former partnership (as a singles skater she also jumped 2A, 3T and 3S in competition), and Patricio even jumped up to 3A in training before switching to pairs, so that might end up giving them a leg up on some of the lower/mid-ranked Senior pairs and definitely Junior pairs, especially if their pairs elements are coming along nicely.

Cool to see a CW jumping pair!
