Who's Split, Pro, Etc.?

[scooter133]

I'm trying to compile a list of what senior-level skaters and pairs have either officially lost their ISU eligibility this past season and those who have split. Here's what I have so far:

Split:
Nussear & Gates
Kalesavich & Parchem
Roth & McPherson

If you know of any more skaters to add to these lists, please post. Thanks a lot!!

Split:
Stiegler/Stiegler
Hinzmann/Hartsell
Vise/Ibarra
Pensgen/Trent
Rogeness/Rogeness
Matson/Baldwin

Lang/Tchernyshev
Goodwin/Obzansky
Zepeda/Hart
Langhans/Ross-Frye
Moliver/Novikov

Guerassimenko/Futas (guessing, since they are off the GP list)
Chuvaeva/Palamarchuk (same)
Arikawa/Miyamoto
Kawaguchi/Markuntsov
Obertas/Sokolov
Lariviere/Faustino
Karbovskaya/Slavnov (not really senior but almost)
Mukhortova/Lebedev (same)

I've also heard that Kawaguchi/Markuntsov had split but then reconsidered, so I'm not sure if their split is official or not.

Among the U.S. teams, we've also been discussing a number of new teams formed out of the various splits, so here's an (incomplete, I'm sure) list of those--just involving skaters who were at nationals this year.

Kalesavich & Parchem - Split; he's with Marcy Hinzmann now and I believe she's done skating.
Stiegler & Stiegler - Split; she's with Bert Cording and he's quit.
Hinzmann & Hartsell - Split; she's with Parchem; do we know for sure about him yet?
Roth & McPherson - Split; any new partners?
Vise & Ibarra - Split; she's with Derek Trent and he's with Brandi Sandoval.
Pensgen & Trent - Split; she isn't focusing on pairs and he's with Vise.
Rogeness & Rogeness - Have retired.

Nussear & Gates - Split; she's back with Brandon Forsyth and he's retired.
Goodwin & Obzansky - Split; she's with Brent Bommentre and he's retired.
Manon & Shalin - Split; she's with Ryan O'Meara; don't know about him.
Zepeda & Hart - Split.
Langhans & Ross-Frye - Split; sounds like he might be skating with Stephanie Ellis.

I think Steve Hartsell is skating with Kristin Roth.

[roogu]

Add Boulin/Conner to the list in pairs.

[Pupiczech]

Yes, Steve is skating with Kristen

The USFSA has not issued an official statement. Niether has L&T, however, reliable sources have reported that the two have split. Naomi reportedly wants to pursue other ventures.

There has also been reliable sources that say they haven't made up their minds, that's why there has been no announcement. From what I've heard it's Peter's decison whether or not he wants to search for a new partner, or stay with Naomi and go pro. I guess we'll find out when they decide. Unless Naomi gets some type of epiphany it looks like she's made up her mind. Either way I hope I get to see Peter, whether it's at SOI or in eligible competition. He is way too talented (and hot) to let it go to waste. Too bad about Naomi too, I always thought she had a good amount of talent but she never really believed in heself enough to let it flourish.

[antilles]

Obertas and Sokolov, huh? Too bad, they looked like they had a lot of promise. I wonder if it had anything to do with him almost dropping her, what twice, at Worlds? I think I'd be afraid to skate with him after that.

[haribobo]

Yeah, I am not entirely sure about L/T or Kawaguchi/Markuntsov but signs seemed to be pointing to that so I included them. L/T were withdrawn from the Grand Prix series if u check the ISU site.

Obertas is now skating with Slavnov.

Re: Boulin and Connor split. Does Sean even know. Apparently, he arrived at the rink seemingly very happy en route to do off ice lifts with Jericho.

Interesting.

I can't think of when a 5-time National Champion team has split -- at least while they are still eligible... -- seems like it's too good of a thing to split off from -- but then again, I always thought that Peter needed a stronger partner -- the question in my mind has always been, "Who?"

My guess is that no matter what happens, we will still get to see Peter (a LOT, I hope...) :)

There was an article about Jesse Sturdy's move to BC and that he'll be skating with Jericho. Perhaps the article got the name of his partner wrong.

Kawaguchi/Markuntsov were finally removed from all their GP events and Futas teamed up with Milica Brozovic who skated before (I think) for Russia with Nimenko (they were in the top 6 at nationals some times ago). They were awarded NHK Trophy.

JERICHO AND SEAN SPLIT? SINCE WHEN??????? I'd best be looking into that. Where was this article?
