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.
As I posted in the thread for event #3:
OOPS!! Prior to the draw for the SP of the Men at event #4 it was determined that one of the competitors, who also competed at event #3, was actually not eligible to compete!!
Lev Vinokur, age 13, represented ISR in Riga and finished 7th - his results are now being "expunged", apparently. He had previously competed for RUS and won silver in the Advanced Novice category at the Aspen Cup in November 2018 under their flag. That means he cannot compete representing ISR until a full year has passed.
I presume the Russian Federation filed an objection.
Judy commented in the Russian Test Skates thread about the Russian pairs at the senior level. The depth of pairs at the junior level is being demonstrated at this JGP event - after the SP the top 4 pairs are Russian!
In the opening ceremonies they had several more pairs featured, doing excellent synchronized pairs "tricks" - WOW!
This has to be the largest crowd for any of the JGP events!
