Sooo
No Worlds for F-B/S cause they have been today released to skate for Canada. They will have to wait till 20.01.19 to do that cause they skated last time for Denmark then.

oh nooo, I was looking forward to see Chafik's SP again ... (this time maybe skated a little better than at the Olympics?)

oh WOW...so that means no competitions for them this year? I apologize, just have no knowledge how those citizenship's switches work in terms of competitions...

They'll be able to compete in Canada this summer and at Nationals next year, but not until 4CC internationally.

Interesting. I wonder where the former Danes will stand in the Canadian ice dance pecking order---I guess that will be determined at 2019 Nationals. Their arrival won't be good news for junior teams planning on moving up, though.

No Coomes/Buckland here either: https://twitter.com/SylviaUnseen/status/969357674814103553

Oh, that's a shame. Britain's only skaters with any hope of a top ten finish.

Mildly surprised Kuzmichova/Sinycyn were not selected, as the other couple did not do well at important competitions.

Kuzmichova & Sinicyn did not compete at Nationals. They were MIA. I've not heard any explanation for why. Anyone?

I don't know the reason, but IIRC correctly, they had already named the Olympic team before that.

They should let Ashley replace Karen Chen. I really want to see her La la land again. Is she retiring.?

No way, Karen was ahead of La Wagner at the last U.S. championships and the last Worlds, make it 3 out of 3,

I think it's time to at least let 20 pairs into the free now. Otherwise the smaller countries will never invest in pairs if they know they can't make it to the free. It has been a long time since there's been this much interest in pairs.

Not just in pairs but in other disciplines as well. I think they should modify the number of qualifying skaters so that a maximum of one warmup group of skaters from short to free is left off. At Worlds 2017, 2-3 warm-up groups didn't qualify in every discipline. The skaters have already gotten their TES minimums, made the trip to the competition, and trained two programs all season. The skaters' efforts should not be overridden by an extra round of ice resurfacing or by event scheduling conflicts.

Tom just said Max Aaron will be at Worlds! What happened? Who is he replacing?

I asked in the other thread as well, so whatever you see first ... is there any reputable source for this (which means not TSL)

I would unfortunately not be surprised, but just looking for a source.

Soooo sad if Jason is not going At least I have tickets to SOI

just via twitter and other sources. Trying to find out about ross via my coach and it sounds like he declined to end his career on a high note.

Thank you for the info; I agree that reading between the lines on Jason’s posts, he has said nothing about Worlds, which is not like him. Just wondering if anything else was put there I wouldn’t blame Ross if he went out on a high note either....

From Tom Z Twitter. It does not say who Max is replacing.

If you don’t have proof of this - which it seems like you don’t - you shouldn’t keep repeating it as a fact.
