Russian media is reporting that Natalia Zabiiako is coming out of retirement to skate with Zachary Daleman. The pair will represent Canada. This has not been confirmed by Zabiiako or Daleman.

Zabiiako was formerly paired with Alexander Enbert, with whom she competed at the 2018 Winter Olympics, winning silver in the team event, and the bronze at the 2019 Worlds.

Daleman placed 11th at the 2020 Junior Worlds with Patricia Andrew, and qualified for the later-cancelled 2021 Nationals with Justine Brasseur, who later retired.

2018 Europeans: pairs review

Hello, skating people, I've finished watching all the pairs now. The performances at Europeans this year weren't exactly as strong as last year's, but it was a good dog fight and I can honestly say I enjoyed it. Evgenia Tarasova/Vladimir Morozov (RUS): In the SP I was utterly shocked to see Evgenia put her hand down on the triple toe, then fall on the throw triple loop, leaving them in 5th. "What has happened to this jumping angel?" was my first thought. Well, that didn't last long. Apparently they are on a mission to prove that "Candyman" is a winning program, despite my doubts, and they hit their elements. Strong tech didn't improve the part about panties dropping, but at least there was clean skating, which is more than I can say for the rest. I do, however, think the judges shied away from giving some negative GOE to a two-footed throw and a sketchy salchow, and the PCS still has me scratching my head. Ksenia Stolbova/Fedor Klimov (RUS): Stolbova/Klimov's SP remains one of my favorites this season, despite the fact Ksenia missed the toe loop again. They got the highest PCS of the night for a reason. Frankly, I consider their silver here a miracle. But one look at Ksenia's face after the FS and my first thought was "get this woman some wine and chocolate". She couldn't even hit the closing pose before she started crying. The good news is, she landed her 3-3 like a boss (Fedor doubled his, but he's usually a rock-solid jumper so I think it was just nerves). But hey, silver is the new gold. Gratuitous fashion comments: Ksenia has two new dresses. The SP one is okay but I loved the first dress with the beaded neck even more! I prefer the new FS dress though; I feel like it's just more "Ksenia". My friends would beg to differ on it though... Natalia Zabiiako/Alexander Enbert (RUS): I didn't see these guys coming, but they weren't bad. They skated a very clean SP with a huge triple twist. While they don't have the it-factor of Goddess Stolbova or Diva Vanessa, it floated by like a dream and I suddenly thought of Gordeeva and Grinkov for some reason. The FS, unfortunately, bores me a bit. I also don't understand how they scored a 137 with Alexander's doubled salchow and small mistake on the SBS combo. It's like the Russian fed smells Stolbova/Klimov's retirement and is preparing Zabiiako/Enbert to be the new Russian No. 2. But I can honestly say they deserved it, because the couples below them were not better. After all the unfairness of the doping ban, it's almost sweet revenge that Nina Mozer's Russian pairs swept the podium here. Sorry not sorry. Vanessa James/Morgan Cipres (FRA): 0.01, y'all. That was the difference between bronze and 4th. Coming off Vanessa's injury, I didn't know what to expect. They had a clean SP and took the lead, which they definitely deserved. I love the difficult transitions and the sparkle they have, but they looked a little tight, so I can't quite understand how they got 35.45 for PCS when Stolbova/Klimov, who have almost Patrick Chan-level skating skills, got 36.11. In the FS, Vanessa popped her combo down to a 2-2-1, Morgan barely held onto his salchow, and one lift was shaky. The good news: Vanessa stayed up on the throw quad salchow. After the event, everyone was up in arms about how James/Cipres were robbed. Honestly, I don't think so. They got some lofty PCS (as did everyone else). The only thing I would question is the TES, and tbh they just didn't look as smooth as Zabiiako/Enbert. They'll get back up to form, it just wasn't time yet. Side note: I love Vanessa's unitard; when I see it, I hear Adam Rippon singing "We're beautiful, like diamonds in the sky". Valentina Marchei/Ondrej Hotarek (ITA): In this whole drama fest, the Italians' SP was a real highlight of the event for me. Everything, down to Ondrej's hand gestures during the death spiral, exuded charm and style. The elements felt easy and for once, I wasn't concerned for levels and GOE. The FS was not bad either; besides Valentina's doubled toe loop, they really had a good, enjoyable skate. Nicole Della Monica/Matteo Guarise (ITA): Nicole's doubled salchow in the SP put them behind the 8-ball in this field, which is a shame, because the rest of the program was stunning. Small mistakes in the FS added up too - Matteo doubled a toe loop and Nicole two-footed both throws. But it was not a disaster, and now they can just focus on the Olympics. Interesting event all around! It's not what I expected but it gives us a sneak peek at many of the top pairs going into the Olympics. Next week is Four Continents - it won't be as exciting without the Chinese pairs, who withdrew, but I'll be happy to see Iliushechkina/Moscovitch again, and I'm also curious for the face-off between three of the American pairs - Kayne/O'Shea, Stellato/Bartholomay, and Cain/LeDuc. Until next time, happy skating, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

“Looks like bronze medalists at the worlds this year were not my cups of tea. If only Medvedeva's flutz didn't get a +2.11 Rika would have made it to the podium; I like Peng/Jin's free program way more than I did Zabiiako/Enbert's, and the men's is Vincent Zhou. Good thing I don't care enough about ice dancing to have preferences.“

I haven’t been able to watch pairs skating as much as I wanted to this season because it always clashed with my schedule and so I hadn’t ever seen Natalia Zabiiako and Alexander Enbert before and I just wanted to let you all know that she could step all over me with her skates on and I’d thank her. That’s it; thanks for coming to my TED talk

#and before this season I rarely managed to watch fs at all so they haven’t been on my radar at all #figure skating #miri watches figure skating #zabiiako/enbert #natalia zabiiako

I'm really sad about Zabiiako and Enbert's retirement... much more than I thought I would be :( I've really missed them this season. I'm so glad they got to end their competitive career with a world medal last season though
