I don't think anyone mentioned it in the 2020-21 discussion thread.

On 11 June it was announced, that Aljona Savchenko will return to competition this season, skating for USA. Her partner will be TJ Nyman.

In the Autumn Classic in Canada, 16 year old :CYPMarilena Kitromilis won gold and became the first ever figure skater from Cyprus to win a medal of any colour at a challenger series level or higher. She scored 180.72 points. She was first after short program with 61.33 and had the second best free skate with 119.39. 

 

Here is the video of her free skate. All her scores are huge personal bests, improving her previous, which were set earlier this season.

 

 

Interestingly enough, Kitromilis is only substitute entry for Cyprus at Nebelhorn Trophy, as another skater is assigned there.

Lithuanian president G. Nausėda rejected citizenship request from Alison Reed to represent Lithuania at the 2022 Olympics. It's been confirmed that Lithuanian Figure Skating Federation will apply for the citizenship for the last time next months and will attempt to prepare a new duet of Paulina Ramanauskaitė and Deividas Kizala to replace Ambrulevičius/Reed in Beijing

They got their qualifying score for the rhythm dance in Finland, but failed in the free skate.

 

Still plenty of time left, though.

15-year old :RUS Kamila Valieva set a new WR for the free skate of 174 pts.

 

But she is another pupil of Eteri Tutberidze, so of course we can already tell where this is going...

Could you please elaborate on this a little?

    • Sinner destroyed Baez and we are still alive If I were Volandri, I would have Sinner and Berrettini play in the doubles. 
    • Fewer people do do this sport compared to the 90s, less money is spent on it, etc. In the case of women, at some point this sport was almost abandoned because of the belief that it was impossible to beat Scandinavia ( the times of Norwegian domination with Bjoergen and Johaug at the forefront). Only in the last 2 years has Markus Cramer been hired, who is gradually rebuilding the men's and women's teams. Suffice it to say that the last medalist of the World Championships for Italy in the women's was Arianna Follis in 2011... I will also remind you that in 2022 Pellegrino and de Fabiani trained with the Russian team, because the rest of the Italian team was in such poor shape that they couldn`t train together 
    • Well that is a totally different question  I too have wondered what happened to Italian cross-country and how there is no one coming for so many years. But it shouldn't take away from the sports where progress has been made.

    • Appetite grows with eating. Especially since it's not like we develop in every winter sport... For example, 20 years ago we were a powerhouse in cross-country skiing and now we have only 1 Pellegrino (34 age) and a few talented youngsters. And let's remember that our performance in Turin was objectively weak for us: only 11 medals in total. Now, when I hear that we will to win 2O+, some discipline must definitely add medals and also compensate for the losses in cross-country skiing, for example.
    • The problem is that this mixed team has never played together since then. There was talk of personal obstacles. I don't know how it`s now.
    • Well that explains why she is wearing more clothes with every passing day.   Nevertheless that team is still one of the best in the world and is a vast improvement on what Italy was doing 10-20 years ago. 
    • Any idea where a full schedule can be found yet? I remember last seasons the website was always godawful in terms of providing that basic kind of information..
    • Constantinis team have made huge improvements since 2022 even if they are not best yet. And Constantini never was world leading in mixed doubles before Beijing olympic either so it is not like she really have lost anything since 2022 either, except not being able to repeat that success.
    • She had health problems yesterday. Nevertheless, after the gold in mixed doubles with Mosaner in 2022, I counted a bit more on her development. I still think that the biggest chance for us in 2026 will be the mixed team, rather than our teams.
