Pairs Short Program & Ladies Short Program - 2019 Nebelhorn Trophy - Oberstdorf Germany - Sep 25-28 (8) When Mariah Bell takes the ice at Nebelhorn Trophy in Oberstdorf, Germany this afternoon, she’ll probably focus on the four-word opening line of “Radar,” one of two songs that comprise her short program: Confidence is a must. “Right after (2019) nationals, Adam (Rippon) said, ‘You should skate to Britney Spears,’” she said. “And I was like, ‘Uh, okay,’ because it’s really not my thing.” But Bell, 23, remembered listening to the pop star’s hits as a kid growing up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Suddenly, Rippon’s suggestion struck a chord. “I loved her music, and so I thought, ‘I think I love that idea,’” the U.S. bronze medalist said. “Yeah, it’s different, but that’s my goal, to grow that (performance) aspect of my skating. So, I’m really excited about the challenge.” 2019 Nebelhorn Trophy takes place in Oberstdorf, Germany, Sept. 26-28. A total of 66 skaters are slated to compete: 18 men, 22 ladies, 11 pairs and 15 ice dance teams. All four disciplines will be contested and, as is tradition, the annual ISU judges exams will take place in Oberstdorf. Men's Short Program - 2019 Nebelhorn Trophy - Oberstdorf Germany - Sep 25-28 (7) Jason Brown of the U.S. has withdrawn from this event. The 24-year-old is recovering from a concussion he suffered in a car accident en route to Champs Camp in August. China′s Han Yan, who was scheduled to make his competitive comeback in Oberstdorf, has also withdrawn. Headliners at this event include Canada′s Nam Nguyen, Alexei Bychenko and Daniel Samohin of Israel, and Koshiro Shimada of Japan, who will make his senior debut at this competition. Shimada is coached by two-time World champion Stéphane Lambiel. Canada’s Kirsten Moore-Towers and Michael Marinaro headline the pairs discipline. Russia′s Alisa Efimova and Alexander Korovin along with two U.S. teams, Haven Denney and Brandon Frazier and Alexa Scimeca Knierim and Chris Knierim; Australia′s Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya and Harley Windsor; and North Korea′s Tae Ok Ryom and Ju Sik Kim, will open their respective seasons at this competition. The ice dance event will be one to watch with five teams from five different nations — who are all coached by Marie-France Dubrueil, Patrice Lauzon and Romain Haguenauer — competing. One of those teams will mine gold, but which one it will be is anyone′s guess. Frontrunners include Canada′s Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Nikolaj Sørensen who claimed silver at 2019 Lombardia Trophy, and Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson of Great Britain who finished second at 2019 Autumn Classic International.

Laurence Fournier-Beaudry and Nikolaj Sorensen of Montreal earned their first international victory on Saturday, winning the ice dance event at the Nebelhorn Trophy figure skating competition. 2019 Nebelhorn Trophy - Oberstdorf Germany - Sep 25-28 (11) The event is the fifth stop on the ISU Challenger Series, a set of competitions which serves as a tune-up for the upcoming Grand Prix season. Fournier-Beaudry and Sorensen bettered their previous international best by almost 12 points with a 201.00 score. Kaitlin Hawayek and Jean-Luc Baker of the U.S. were second at 192.47 and their compatriots Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko third at 190.35. "This really shows that when you commit to something you can make great things happen," Sorensen said. "Not everything was perfect but we are so happy we were able to go out there and give two really good programs." Earlier this month, the duo took silver at the Lombardia Trophy in Italy and two seasons ago earned bronze at the Finlandia Trophy. The veteran couple were 10th at the world championships this past spring. "Having all our teammates in the crowd cheering us one because we were the last event was really special," Fournier-Beaudry said. "It makes us even more humble and happy to be part of this family."

It won by Mariah Bell (205,13 points) ahead of Yelim Kim from South Korea (186,27). Further back, Ann-Christin Marold (Regensburg) came in tenth and Lutricia Bock (Chemnitz) 19th.

Koshiro Shimada (214.98) made his season debut at the Nebelhorn Trophy in Oberstdorf, Germany, last week, where he took second place behind Russia’s Makar Ignatov (220.51).
Shimada, who turned 18 last month, led after the short program, but had multiple issues in his free skate to “The Artist.” He fell on his opening quad toe loop and doubled a planned triple axel in an uneven outing.
Shimada was joined in Germany by Marin Honda, who was also making her season debut. Honda (174.01) wound up in fifth place behind winner Mariah Bell (205.13) of the United States.
Honda fell on a triple loop and popped a double axel into a single in her free skate to “La La Land,” but still displayed her trademark elegance with level fours on her spins and step sequence.
