Great Britain Names Seven for the World Tour, and Only Niall Treacy Costs More Than ◆3M

British Ice Skating has named seven skaters for the first five World Tour stops, and only one of them costs more than ◆3M: Niall Treacy, at ◆14M. The team has two women and five men, and it was announced on September 18, 2026. All seven are in our pool, Treacy is trending up after his World Championship bronze, and the other six cost ◆1M to ◆3M.

What Great Britain Announced

British Ice Skating (BIS) says the team was chosen after its Performance Selection Event at the National Ice Centre in Nottingham on September 11 and a selection meeting on Monday, September 14. It covers World Tour stops 1 to 5. The post names the team but does not say who races which distance. BIS says a further announcement with the distances will follow closer to the opening events.

BIS Performance Director Jon Eley called it "a young team, with a number of athletes set to make their World Tour debuts". The post does not say which ones, so we cannot tell you who the debutants are.

The Team and What They Cost

Prices are from the pool snapshot of October 6, except for the two new skaters, who start at ◆1M. Prices move after every competition.

Treacy is the headline. BIS says he took 1000m bronze at the World Championships in Montréal in March, Great Britain's first short track medal at a World Championships since 2017. He is the only British skater who has been priced like a front-runner, and he leads the list.

Annabelle Green at ◆3M is the only other skater above ◆1M. The other five each cost ◆1M, which makes them the cheapest way to hold a skater who has been picked for the first block.

Two New Names and a Familiar One

Albie Barlow and Joseph Armstrong are new to the pool, so they start at ◆1M with no trend. ISU's skater records show both as British Ice Skating athletes, Barlow born on July 17, 2008 and Armstrong on December 31, 2006. The only results ISU lists for either are junior ones: Barlow at the Junior World Cup and the World Junior Championships in the 2025/26 season, Armstrong at the World Junior Championships in 2025 and 2026. Neither has a senior World Tour result on record. Barlow is also on Great Britain's Junior World Cup team for Bormio on November 6–8 and 12–14, according to BIS's announcement of September 24.

Adam Hill is the one ISU spells "HILL JNR". ISU has only one Adam Hill, born on December 5, 2004, listed for British Ice Skating, and he is the one in our pool. Unlike the two newcomers, he has World Tour starts on record, at the Tilburg and Milan stops in February 2025.

Who Was Left Off

Six British skaters already in the pool are not on this list. The announcement gives no reason, so this says nothing about injury or form.

Collins is the most expensive of them. A skater who is not on the team scores nothing at a World Tour stop, so if you hold any of these six, they are not racing the first five stops on this list. BIS says this team is for the first half of the season, and it has not yet said who covers the later stops.

The Relay Angle

There is no Great Britain women's 3000m relay in the pool. The announcement does not mention relays at all, so we do not know who would race them. With five men and two women named, the men's relay is the most natural, but that is our reading, not BIS's. Relay results count triple toward the new Team Crystal Globe this season, which makes it worth watching when BIS publishes the distances.

What Happens Next

Vancouver is on October 23–25. Watch for BIS's follow-up on the distances before you commit to anyone, because a named skater is not necessarily entered in every distance. Prices in this article are a starting point: Great Britain's skaters are repriced after each competition like everyone else's.
