We have received a statement from the ISU:

So, has Raimo got a coaching licence and learned Latvian? www.instagram.com/p/DPBBiEBCr9D/

Ted Barton won Nebelhorn once and found out while eating a schnitzel 😜

Katya has defended her bachelor's thesis

I believe that's all we have for now

Knowing about all the Latvian interclub rivalry, this is certainly interesting information...

I need to find some 1990s videos with Chris H.'s commentary – I wonder if he was already talking about a cat among the pigeons etc. 😜

🇱🇻 event calendar

An update from Deniss! ⛸️ ko-fi.com/post/W-38-A0...

I wonder if Deniss at Golden Spin is a confirmation that there won’t be 🇱🇻 nationals this season (they’re also not in the competition calendar on LSA’s website)

Can't wait for the season to go back to the JGP / Challengers... That was too high skates

People going to the Olympics, please coordinate a plushie rain for Kyrylo! 🙏 ⛸️

I'd like to inform Davide Lewton Brain that he's now Latvian

Davide missing out by ONE SPOT, no one talk to me 2.0 (although I’m happy for Yu-Hsiang)

I've only caught up with ice dance so far so pls don't tell me what happened in men's but I can't believe Milla and Nikolaj lost the Olympic spot by 0.23 pts to THAT TEAM 😬

But did you know Kristina is Instagram & TikTok viral www.instagram.com/reel/DHgZj2u...

One of the highlights of the competition youtu.be/nYBVcixxFMU?...

No one talk to me 😢

Today after the men's short program at the Olympic Qualifying Event (The first competition that Russians have been present for since their ban) Ukrainian figure skater Kyrylo Marsak had a bag of his belongings torn open and stolen. It contained gifts from his fans all of which were taken.

🐐 youtu.be/oJXnK1blJpw?...

You’re in a busy person competition but your rivals are Valtter Virtanen – figure skater, medical doctor, PhD holder & father, and Dimitra Korri – figure skater, speed skater, author, musician & filmmaker

Has anyone suggested the name Beijingdorf before

STOP THE COUNT

Koshiro should talk to Nikolaj about how to transition from jumping quads and triple axels to outperforming some seasoned ice dancers

Also shame on the Dutch Olympic Committee for going against the Olympic spirit and not sending some of their athletes to the Olympics even if they qualify www.schaatsen.nl/nieuws/niki-...

I saw that the Latvian Paralympic Committee is also crowdfunding their way to the Olympics (yes, not one athlete or even federation, but OC) 😬

Consider writing an email to the Latvian Olympic Committee ([email protected]), urging them to hold the Latvian Skating Association accountable and provide proper care to Deniss, Sofja and other Latvian skaters ⛸️

A revamped Deniss sketch from last year that I never posted On sunday Deniss shared that he's been royally screwed over by the latvian skating association so can't attend nebelhorn anymore. Please consider sending him a kofi to support his training <3 ko-fi.com/post/Oberstd...

Please donate to Deniss if you can 🙏 ⛸️ ko-fi.com/denissvasilj...

Keep the donations coming! 🙏 If Latvian institutions can't do their job, let's show them that three raccoons in a trenchcoat can ⛸️

A not so fun fact: the current head of the Latvian Skating Association is also in the finance commission of the Latvian Olympic Committee www.olimpiade.lv/lok

Meanwhile in Finland

Olivia hasn’t been to any major championships yet – maybe this season?

New comments

I did a thing ⛸️ vimeo.com/1117909070?s...

Any Latvians with a Sportacentrs account? Maybe you could leave a comment that they haven't covered the scandal at all on their page? ⛸️ sportacentrs.com/ziemas_sport...

I didn’t realize Ariadna Gupta Espada was senior eligible this season. This means Spain may have a female skater at Euros afer a longish break because the minimum is realistic for her. ⛸️ youtu.be/96x53Aa-a9o?...
