2025 PGE Warsaw Cup: General Info and Pregame Chat

Just as last year then. I was in Warsaw for other stuff so I only managed to go to ice dance free and I paid for the ticket ~35 zł if I remember correctly. Full day tickets were better option, cheaper than if you'd buy tickets individually for every event.

I'll probably manage to watch only Women FS, 35 zł is actually decent price.
 
Okay - confused. First, according to Anything GOEs, the withdrawals were:

"🇦🇷Michelle Dicicco, 🇪🇪Nataly Langerbaur, 🇸🇰Ema Doboszova, 🇸🇰Vanesa Selmekova, 🇺🇦Sofiia Ekzarkhova, 🇺🇦Taisiia Spesivtseva, 🇺🇸Isabeau Levito, and 🇬🇧Sophia Bushell / Antonio Pena have withdrawn from Warsaw Cup

🇮🇱Julia Fennell has been added"
(copy pasted from a screenshot)

But i could still see both the 🇸🇰 and 🇺🇦girls aswell as Isabeau🇺🇲 on the entry list, so i kept refreshing it thinking it just doesn't show for me yet - that post has now been deleted and the new post about WDs doesn't include them anymore, but i'm curious as of why it did in the first place? Could the ISU page just not be properly updated yet? Where else can you possibly get info about WDs?

It seems she WD from Tallinn Trophy too... I'm so worried, doesn't she have to score a 180+ or something internationally before january for Swiss Fed to give her the Olympic Spot? I read something about it on a X regarding Livia.

Is 180+ a requirement to go to the Olympics for Switzerland?!! In that case it totally makes sense why Livia is pushing all these competitions but oh my god... And Sara Franzi is the one remaining with the minimums of the senior women, but it´s going to be difficult for her to post a score that high when she never has...

Hmmm I´m wondering if H/C WD might be a sign that T/V has given up their spot at Finlandia, the Aussies should be next in line for Finlandia I think. I don´t know how this works but I have the impression that the skaters know before ISU update their documents.
 
It's really the worst thing that could happen...two spots for the women and none of them fit to compete right now...

Good point! I guess we'll have to wait and see with this one...

"The Swiss OC requires she score at least 185 before Jan 18, 2026 in order to use the spot" - to quote exactly what i saw on X. I don't know the source, unfortunately, but i might have to dig in about it to double check cause it makes me anxious for them! This date would suggest Euros will be their last chance...

Oh.... and who would want that stress hanging over them at Euros 😭😭 Usually there are very few comps at the beginning of January IIRC, so there might be options before. But if Kimmy WD from Tallinn already it might suggest she will not be competing before Christmas :/

I'm wondering if Golden Spin is still a possibility? Just one week after Tallinn so i doubt it, but she could really use a CS...😔 I genuinely feel sick thinking about either Kimmy OR Livia (worst possible scenario: BOTH) not making it to Milan, with so many talented swiss juniors coming up as seniors next quad i fear this might very likely be their first and only chance ;(

So apparently Kimmy is safe with the requirements. EC 2025 count and she got the score there as it counts from January 2025. So there is still a chance she can go but of course she needs to be healthy. I assume WD at these Challengers could be a sign that she is focusing on getting healthy to Euros and Milano instead. So it´s better to WD now...

But I just realized how insane a 185+ score is as requirement. Like Kimmy barely made the score (186) and was 4th at Euros... Livia would need to have perfect skates and then hope for some good scores and that is possible why she is struggling so much now because she can´t afford any mistakes if she is going to make it.

I don't see Livia scoring that. Which makes me really sad. But she must have some sort of injury plus the pressure of getting the points...

That is a really high bar to set. Just looking at Warsaw Cup PBs only Anna Pezzetta is over 185.
 
Have Sophia BUSHELL / Antonio PENA GBR withdrawn from Warsaw as well?
Never mind I see them missing from the ISU list.
