Really happy for Allison and Saulius, they've been skating for Lithuania for so long, earned them a spot in last Olympics, but were unable to take it. They deserve it.

 

[Anna K.]

Such a long way for Allison. It's worth celebrating

 

[ladyjane]

It's a celebration for both of them: they can go to the Olympic Games together!

Thanks for posting!
It's a nice article that provides the schedule of the upcoming Latvian Figure Skating Championship (it's in Latvian but easily translates to English by Google Chrome). I like that it specifies at what time exact;y Deniss is expected to appear on the ice on each competition day
It's also good to know that the organizers stick to the tradition and there is no entrance fee for spectators.

It didn't say anything about the exhibition though. In old good days, both Deniss and Stephane used to skate exhibitions... It's interesting if they will keep this tradition, too

Uhm, how to say it politely ... Deniss might hope to skate in front of a bigger crowd than that. But, even if small in numbers, the home crowd was indeed enthusiastic like no other crowd in the world. Well done everyone who came up and made some noise!

It's such a festive feeling around it. Possibly because, in this time of the year, the colors of Latvian flag in C&C somehow associate with Advent decorations and Santa's clothes... Never mind, it's just me

Team Estonia did very well at 2024 Golden Spin of Zagreb.

Huge celebration for Selevko family as bothers finished one-two in the Men's event!
Mihail won with a new personal best of 245.06 points. Welcome back, Mihail! Aleksandr followed second with his new season's best 234.56.
Arlett Levandi placed 5th with season's best 213.79 raising his short program personal best to 75.71, which allowed him to reach the qualification tech minimum for WC.

Girls did not do quite as stellar as that but kept improving nevertheless: Eva-Lotta Kiibus placed 10th (150.02) and improved her season's best free skate (100.52). Nataly Langebaur was 14th (145.39) and raised her free skate SB to 94.81.

Congratulations, everyone!
