So strange seeing the entries listed alphabetically by surname, rather than alphabetically by country and then by surname...

I didn't notice if anybody else is, but I see a number of skaters doing back-to-back events.

Hiu Yau CHOW (HKG), Kwun Hung LEUNG (HKG), and Sofía VAL / Asaf KAZIMOV (ESP) are doing Budapest this week, and Nice next week.

Amanda HSU (TPE), Chiu Hei CHEUNG (HKG), and Linda de NARDIN / Patrizio Romano ROSSI LOPEZ (ESP) are doing Dundee this week, and Nice next week.

Fair play to them!

Nicely sized starter fields, particularly happy about the 8 Jr pairs teams - International debuts for Behnke/Sauve and Callahan/Roch (CAN), plus Pazienza/Knorr (SUI).

Baby Brits and baby French in Jr Ice Dance, and the baby Aussies (who are currently listed in the wrong category).

Chance of a livestream? I would be very happy to be able to watch junior pairs and junior ice dance. (First Thursday in seven weeks without juniors on YouTube has hit hard here.)

Pleased and surprised to see Fée Ann Landry included here.

Okay, what emoji do I use for "ridiculously excited"?

Cool! Yet ANOTHER competition - difficult to keep up, especially when you have plans at the weekend and have to watch a lot of recorded stuff.

But I love it!

Popping in for my kid, who I hadn't noticed was here because I had accidentally opened the Time Schedule for the Seniors!

ALL THE BEST CHIARA!!!

[CaroLiza_fan]

Forgot she had gone blonde!

First jump was beautiful.

Not sure how the combination that she did next went because she was in the fog.

The combination spins looked beautiful.

She nearly went round too many times on the third jump.

What I could see after that looked good.

Stream started buffering 2m 24s into the programme, and came back just as the music finished at 2m 51s.

Ah, I forgot the FFSG events had these detailed graphics that tell you how each element went. And she got a 1 point deduction for a time violation.

She goes into 5th with a score of 49.03. New ISU Season's Best score for the SP.

WELL DONE CHIARA!!!

Messy skate for Ehrhard/Pellegris, with two falls (on the 2A for him and on the 3LoTh for her), but a decent score. Hopefully, this scoring remains as consistently generous, because all except for the French teams don't have SP minimums.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

First time seeing a full program by Pazienza/Knorr (I've seen some elements in isolation on their IG accounts) and while they definitely still look quite raw and not hugely used to pairs elements, I'm seeing a lot of promise.

Pretty good synchronicity for a new team, amazing sbs 2A, and an easy double throw. Invalid death spiral though, I think they didn't quite get in two revolutions, unfortunately.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Unfortunate fall on the 2A for Christophe, but otherwise solid international debut for Callahan/Roch

 

[Jumping_Bean]

At 14 and 16, Behnke/Sauve aren't just the youngest team here, but in general one of the youngest pairs teams competing internationally. Pretty solid outing for them, the lift looked a lot better than at Next Gen camp.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Napolitano/Comi are so consistent And finally the SP TES minimum after missing it narrowly at both of their JGPs.
