Thoroughly enjoyed the Junior RD and thrilled with Phebe and James's skate!

Think I said this in their cheer thread but I think that they were victims of severe overscoring of another team here. 4 falls on elements shouldn't get you on the podium in my opinion! Hoping this motivates Phebe and James going into junior worlds! If this is what they can achieve after only 2 seasons, I think we're in for a treat in the next few years.

I think I agree but I’ll look at the positives that they qualified in 5th and finished in 4th and they have set themselves up very well for Worlds like Lilah and Lewis have.
I hope they have time to do a few small competitions before JW to get the levels in the FD up. Personally I think they are miles ahead of the Koreans who I like as well. I do think that if they have the budget perhaps a new dress for Phebe in the FD? I think the peach colour is not that great.
As for L&L I felt 4th was a very solid result. While obviously the Canadians fell but I think this puts them very well for Euros and, if they bring it, for Worlds. 3rd at Worlds is not off the table imo.

Me too -- and I think it totally works with James's costume to fit the "Four Seasons" theme.

I love the skirt of Phebe's dress but the top keeps giving me, "OMG she forgot her top" vibes. It's the colour. The decoration is beautiful but either the base colour needs to be deeper or the decoration more substantial. At least, that's my feeling about it. Which makes no difference to my feelings about her skating, which are entirely positive.
Not heard anything - interesting! Would they be skating for Germany or UK?

No idea as it is still in the rumor stage. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Probably not Germany, given the language requirement for citizenship. Spain would be most likely if they're hoping to make the next Olympics.
have one or both got Spanish citizenship then?

This is my feeling. I like the theme but the peach coloured top looks a little bit to much like a nude fabric.

Just wanted to update you on a story I posted in last season's thread.
I saw a follow-in report on Sky News this morning. But before I get to that, I have found out that there was an update in July. So, I will post that first.
Here is the video:

And here is the accompanying story:
https://news.sky.com/story/dancing-...re-skater-who-fled-ukraine-war-to-uk-12651413
The video is not a proper report. It's one of those mobile phone vertical videos that I hate. But, the story is more comprehensive.
It tells us that, after the initial report was aired, Ameican Pairs skater Matt Evers offered to work with Gosha. It also features British Pairs skater Fiona Zaldua, who is the head coach at the rink in Britstol that Gosha trains at, talking about him.
Fast forward to now, and to the latest update. A proper report!

And here is the accompanying story:
https://news.sky.com/story/ukraine-...e-uk-now-theyve-risked-a-return-home-12773562
Basically, Gosha was missing his Dad like mad. So, after living in Bristol for 4 months, he and his Mum have now returned home to Kiev.
He's still training, and we see the conditions he is training under at the rink. Suffice to say, it's not great. Because of the power shortages, the lighting is poor.
But, it was interesting to see just how many kids there were on the ice with him. Even with everything that is going on, lots of people are still going to the rink to skate.
I wish all the best to all of them! And hope that they keep safe and well.
