2025 Grand Prix: General Info and Substitutions

[saine]

I've always wondered about that. You typically need a specific reason to get a VISA so its not like you can just have one open for no reason? I know sometimes skaters still have them for other competitions they've attended so can just go.

Otherwise it would seem unfair to skip over someone on the replacement list or omit them if the reason they couldn't attend was a VISA. I know the rules used to be more flexible since you could pick anyone in the top 10, but now its the next in line.

That may not apply in this case, its possible Gogo gets assigned to Finland, more of just a general thought.

Also, it should be Sofia S and Anna P to replace Kimmy.

I got a visa for China in 2017. I needed an itinerary with the hotels I was staying at and my flight itinerary. When I was in the visa office, someone was booking their flights there since they hadn't done it and couldn't apply until they had the flights. They did give me a 7 year visa since I had everything in order.

Gamez/Korovin were in that situation last season where they weren't able to get a visa for Japan in time for NHK Trophy. But they were able to pick up a spot at Cup of China after declining.

Sofia and Anna are both at NHK already. So one of them for Cup of China, and Livia K, whose other assignment is GP France, for NHK?

That's a bit unlucky for Anna but, yes, it would go to the next person on the list which is Livia Kaiser.

Changes.

Men
55 Stephen GOGOLEV CAN 216.84 S 3 6 got Event 6

35 Ahsun YUN KOR 187.68 S 3 4 got spot at Event 4 Japan.

 

[Ziotic]

35 Ahsun YUN KOR 187.68 S 3 4 got spot at Event 4 Japan.

I guess that means Seoyoung declined both.

Now that puts the four Canadians at the top of the list.

Mariia Seniuk is ahead of the Canadians now that they updated her SB for Trialeti Trophy.

6 Juulia TURKKILA / Matthias VERSLUIS FIN 205.69 S 6 WD from Event 3 Canada no new Events.

 

[AlexRus]

21 Hannah LIM / Ye QUAN KOR 185.62 S 2(5 185.79) 3 - goot spot at Event 3 Canada.

 

[AlexRus]

Dance - WD from Event 5 USA
28 Noemi Maria TALI / Noah LAFORNARA ITA 177.50 J JW JGPF WD from 5 no new Events

 

[4everchan]

So that would mean Fabbri-Ayer for SKAM. They'd go from NHK to SKAM.

 

[AlexRus]

Dance, got Event 5 USA.
22 Alicia FABBRI / Paul AYER CAN 185.05 S 4 5

 

[4everchan]

Very happy for Alicia and Paul. It will thicken the plot about the qualifying third spot for the Canadian ice dance team at the Olympics.

 

[AlexRus]

Lucrezia BECCARI / Matteo GUARISE ITA WD from 5 USA.

 

[FlossieH]

I believe that Anastasia Vaipan-Law and Luke Digby are next on the alternate list, if Skate America wants to fill the spot and they can get there in time.

I'd love them to have the chance to bury that uncharacteristic short programme disaster!

 

[AlexRus]

Women
Not eligible 10 Niina PETROKINA EST 208.18 S WD from 1 and 6 no new Entries
WD from 6 Finland probably because she did not recover after injury.

Pairs
Change at Event 5 USA
New 18 Emily CHAN / Spencer Akira HOWE USA 178.31 S 4(6 187.40) 5
WD 23 Audrey SHIN / Balazs NAGY USA 170.21 S 1(5 173.30) WD from 5 no new Entries

I have realised since that the Armenia pair were above Ana and Luke. I had muddled the Armenia pair with the Uzbek pair that split.

 

[AlexRus]

Added to Event 5 USA
Karina AKOPOVA / Nikita RAKHMANIN ARM 5

 

[Jontor]

If there is any justice in the world, I do hope that Samodelkina gets the spot in Finland...

She is SO GPF material...
