According to WaPo, N. Korea said they'd go to the Winter Olympics. _{This isn't the wrong thread for that, is it?}

MCM isn't on the entry list for 4CC  He didn't compete at Nationals, either... I hope he is OK.

It is a bit surprising to me because it would have been their last competition before the Games, but I somewhat understand that they want to focus on the Olympics now and need more time to work and refine those techniqual details.

 

I don't know whether Hocke/Blommaert will be able to keep the two spots for Germany for the next Europeans. It will be their first Europeans this year and the pressure will be higher than usually...we'll see.

Isabelle Olsson has announced her retirement from competitive skating 

Quote

After a long time of injury I have decided to quit skating as a professional athlete. It’s been a very hard decision but with all the amazing memories, places and people I’ve met I have become stronger than ever! Figure skating have given me so much in life and will always have a special place in my heart. In the future you’ll see me in a rink somewhere but mostly in a restaurant kitchen! See you soon.

 

She has been my favourite Swedish female skater for years and she will be missed. I wish her all the best in her chef career 

 

Here is one of her beautiful performances:
