This is an exceptionally strong field for an early competition. In every discipline, really.

and, as usual, no Canadian entry in any discipline

Some ex-Canadians though: Carolane and Shane will be going.

What a missed opportunity. This would provide a great chance to gauge relative strengths and also to provide much needed competition experience.

There are some very strong skaters here... it would be a chance to see how things are stacking up against the best.

But there are also some up-and-comers. Again... how would the not-top-tier Canadians fare against this crew as the season kicks off?

We'll never know.

I've heard rumours that there will be Canadians at Nebelhorn, but it's really just rumours at that point. Next week we'll know more.

Let's see how many they send... I predict one in each category, maximum

Rewatch now has its own thread. This will be true for all challengers from now on. I will adjust the other challengers in the next few days to the same format.

Why are there no Italian men in the line up?

 

[TontoK]

For @labgoat you might know the answer.

Why are Flores/Desyatov listed as subs? Is there some rule that limits the number of American dance teams to 2?

The US men have three entries...

I share @CrazyKittenLady surprise at the lack of Italian men. They have four women and four dance teams and three pairs. But no men?

Sorry, I don't know the answer, but I am sure someone who does will see your post.

Yay! Jimmy Ma and the debut of Daniel Martynov and an early debut for Ilia vs. Yuma
