I am an R5 owner shooting sports as a hobby. Can't give any skating-specific suggestions as I've never shot skating.

But do you mind sharing the reasons why you switched from A1 to R5? I think A1 is superior to R5 in a few aspects for shooting sports, stacked sensor being just one of them.

I agree. The R5 is a fine camera but I would unlikely swap an A1 for it.
I used to shoot fast sports with the R5, A1, A9III, and recently R3. I’d rate them like this:
R5 < A1 < R3 < A9III. You can’t just beat a stacked sensor. The R3 has noticeably better ML models than the A1, and it bests the A1 in AF while doing twice less AF/AE calcs per sec. Unfortunately the R5 is just too slow for fast action. Of course I didn’t mean it’s unusable, but it yields a low number of keepers. Whatever is coming next from Canon will be likely the beast. I guess we’ll see it in a week
