Welp, this is a shock.

Katarina Wolfkostin has a new partner - Dmitry Tsarevski.

For those who don't know/remember, Dmitry was paired with Isabella Flores until in December 2021, he basically disappeared to the point where she called the police to do a welfare check because neither she nor their coaches could get ahold of him. She's now paired with Ivan Desyatov, whom she competed with last season, and who I don't think has been released from Belarus yet.

So, he's okay, apparently? New Instagram account and everything. Wish them both the best, of course. It's just weird and shocking is all.

When you say SKAM are you talking about Skate America? I went on their page and their full U.S lineup is out and for the ice dance section only two pairs are listed. It says lineups are subject to change and TBD after their names so I’m a bit confused. Is that just like the first people who were announced and more will be announced?

Yes! Chock and N/M were assigned Skate America (SKAM) and because the US is the host country, they get an extra spot. Given that the rest of Team USA senior ice dance teams have been assigned 2 Grand Prix competitions already, this spot can be given to anyone, including BV and Morozov/Chen. Wolfkostin/Tsarevski (Dima) are competing junior this season so they are not in contention.

🕯️BELLA VANYA SKAM 🕯️

[flores-desyatov]

did you hear the rumor that wolfkostin/tsarevski are going back to junior? if this is true, will Skam be decided between morozev/chen and bella/vanya?

Yes, I did hear that. This way they get more opportunities, like junior grand prixs. And if they do really well then that opens up a lot more doors for them when they go back to seniors. It could actually be a really good move, especially considering how packed US senior ice dance is right now.

Apparently it'll now be between Morozev/Chen, Pham/Spiridonov and Bella&Vanya. But those first two are brand new teams so we'll see! A lot's riding on Lake Placid at the end of this month.

US Nationals:

the Browns had a really good RD - when they're on, their high energy, musicality, and beautiful skating skills are a joy. it's hard for them to hit that zone in both segments of a competition - the margin between them hitting and not is smaller than for most teams, and the FD was very good but not quite at that power. i really wish for them to have some financial angels swoop in, because it's hard to know what their potential is if they're being capped by what they can't afford

Bratti/Somerville - their lukewarm score in the RD was a little mysterious. their steps levels were all 2's, and she lost a twizzle level, GOE were a little meh. but their PCS put them above the Browns, so their quality was being recognized. all i can figure is that in the arena it was missing spark or cohesion. because the panel wasn't divided on the GOE

in the FD, it felt like the quality we were seeing on the screen was reflected in the score. i found myself watching her more than him, which is new - they've become more balanced as a team this year. actually, i wonder if him not skating at a million watts and becoming a team player affected how the RD comes across - if all they heard last season was that Ian can't partner and that he outshines her, and they fixed it, and now the judges are like, no, not like that 💀 maybe they wanted Emily to come up to his energy, but she said herself in an interview recently that Ian's energy is quick and hers is slower, and it's true - she's more languid. but it's a good sign that they were able to make a change, and it'll be really interesting to see how they develop their team identity from here

Wolfkostin/Tsarevski: in person they look more like a senior team than juniors in their power and ice coverage - they definitely look like they belong in this event. but their reception from the panel was surprising. in the RD, their placements went from 2nd to 10th 👀 and with nearly everything in between. and in the FD, they had one of the bigger mistakes in the top 10 and still had a judge place them above the Browns and half the panel above N/M. to senior up the FD they added a StaLi and Assisted jumps and changed the layout of first half. i'm so happy for her that this partnership is working so well - it's a much better fit than Jeffrey Chen was, and they have some judges as fans
