Tough luck for They send two guys and both are set to miss FP?

They qualified two thanks to Brezina placing Top 10 last year. I believe their second best skater retired too. These two are leftovers, effectively.

Adam Siao Him Fa with a big lead after SP. Samoilov in 6th place so guess maybe Poland has a chance at another Top 10 finish.

 

Kurakova going #30 and last in SP order

Ladies short programme will start without  

Lithuanians are so unlucky this season, as number 1 pick Aleksandra Golovkina was heavily injured during practice in Universiade, then number 2 pick Jogailė Aglinskytė got injured too and at the last minute was replaced by number 3 Meda Variakojytė, who just had to withdraw from competition due injury as well

A complete disaster from Lea Serna which means Nikola Rychtarikova sneaks into FP.

 

16 year old Kimmy Repond takes the lead with 8 skaters left.

[Monzanator 4,579]

Kurakova two-footed on rittberger and 5th place but only two points behind the podium. Gubanova in the lead, Hendrickx in 2nd after one error then Repond and Mikutina.

Failed lasso lift for Vaipan-Law & Digby which basically drops them from 9th to 10th (among 13 starters)

guaranteed gold in the pairs. Ghilardi/Ambrosini moved up from 5th place and only Conti/Macii left to skate

[Monzanator 4,579]

Gold for Conti/Macii. Ghilardi/Ambrosini with the best FP score move up three places to silver and Hocke/Kunkel take bronze.

nice success, but with tonight's score, in Beijing they would have been 9th.

 

the world medals are 40/45 points beyond.

 

that's the sad truth about this championship.

 

Italy will dominate the field (in absentia ), but I don't think there's too much to celebrate (meanwhile here it will happen exactly that).

Ice Dancing is starting in just a few moments. So exciting as  Reed/Ambrulevičius is amongst the favourites for the medals this year!
