Final 2023-24 Challenger Series event - Golden Spin, Zagreb - 6-9 Dec. 2023

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.

Final 2023-24 Challenger Series event - Golden Spin, Zagreb - 6-9 Dec. 2023

Post by Elizabeth »

This will take place in Sisak, CRO. It would have been the 10th (and final) CS event but it is actually only the 9th one taking place, after an earlier one was cancelled.

The Entries by discipline are now listed and include only one Canadian - Roman Sadovsky - here's hoping his luggage will make it there!

The Entries link: https://results.isu.org/events/fsevent00117443.htm

Carolane Soucisse & Shane Firus will be making their international debut representing Ireland, having achieved release from Skate Canada.

And in an unbelievable turn of events, Roman Sadovsky will once more be unable to make his international debut for this season!!
From Skate Canada on X (formerly Twitter):
We are sad to report that @_romansadovsky
will once again be unable to compete this week due to numerous weather-related travel delays 😔

We are however looking forward to seeing him back in full force at the #SCNats24 in one month!
In another update, there will be NO livestream - free or otherwise.

In addition to Roman, there were a number of late withdrawals for various reasons, including luggage issues.

I'll post the results in separate posts :)

For those wondering Niina Petrõkina was a last-minute withdrawal, it has now been reported that she "broke her leg in training for Golden Spin, she will miss Estonian Nationals and Europeans. It is likely that Nataly Langerbaur and Kristina Lisovskaja will represent Estonia at Europeans."

She was in Zagreb and was seen on crutches with her leg in a cast at the time of the SP so I believe this incident happened in the training there :(
