heywoodu 13,540 Posted November 25, 2017 #11 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Just now, dcro said: It's really the law of return that Israel has. Tkachenko would be given citizenship in AZE/TUR, so not really a blatant athlete shopping. After all, Tkachenko/Tobias are practically a top 10 material. I know, but it's a bit of a shame anyway. I prefer AZE/TUR's athlete shopping than being granted cititzenship because of a religion. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

vinipereira 3,046 Posted January 7, 2018 #20 Share Posted January 7, 2018 A little bit shocked they didn't pick Ashley Wagner even though she finished 4th at the nationals - but, IMO, had a better record in international competitions. In the men's side, the expected, even the exclusion of Ross Miner who was 2nd at nationals (but previous to that, didn't have so many good results). I was hoping for Jason Brown, but oh well...
