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.
This event will take place in Bratislava, SVK and will include Men, Women and Ice Dance. It is the first time the competition has been held since 2019.
According to the revised press release from Skate Canada, Canada's team has been reduced to just two skaters - an ice dance team - it was originally two dance teams and a man, then one dance team and a man, now just one dance team: https://t.co/l81LMW0q4M
