ISU GP 2018/19 - Event #1 - Skate America - Oct. 19-21

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

Elena Radianova from Russia has withdrawn from Skate America - apparently she has a back injury. At this late date I would not expect a replacement to be named.
