Men
Ryoto Mori has replaced Sena Takahashi (JPN)

Women
Haruna Murakami has replaced Mei Okada (JPN), Mei is now assigned to Bangkok
Jiaying Ellyse Johnson has replaced Sherry Zhang (USA)

 

[ramurphy2005]

Things may yet change on the entry list for the US, right now on the International Assignments page, both men's spots are TBD, and one woman's spot is TBD. Hannah Kim is listed there, but Jiaying Ellyse Johnson is not.

They made some updates on Labor Day, and I really wasn't expecting that since it was a holiday.

 

[ramurphy2005]

Elena DIMITROVA / Aleksei RIABTSEV have withdrawn.

Very good move from the USA to put in Blackwell in a field where there are less of his direct competitors. Hypothetically, he would get a 2nd place finish here and 26 points in men, is pretty solid for JGPF qualification

Good for Patrick indeed, however that means he won't come to Gdansk (and he was one of the skaters I most wanted to see...)

 

[lariko]

It looks like Gurgenidze WD as well.

 

[Arin]

Oh no, I hope Inga is ok

 

[AlexRus]

It is so.
No Inga GURGENIDZE in list https://isu-skating.com/figure-skating/entries/isu-jgp-baku-2025/?type=11813509

 

[lariko]

Oh no, I hope Inga is ok

Same. She is still listed for the last GP stage, so it indicates her team's hope that she will recover in the next 3 weeks sufficiently to skate there.

WD Polina DZSUMANYIJAZOVA HUN 162.39 (3 15 147.04)

 

[lariko]

oh, noes. Hope she is okay.

 

[Kevin Uxbridge]

As assumed would happen, Caleb Farrington (USA) is replacing Nicholas Brooks in men’s singles per the USFS assignments page based on earning bronze in Baku yesterday.

The matchups listed above still show Patrick Blackwel, so find/replace him, not Brooks.


Edit: oops, thought I was posting this in the Gdansk thread.
