Is that even surprising though?

Surely you know by now that I am never surprised when GB athletes fail to raise their game when it really matters.

Horigome out 

Any other team and he would be on track to qualifying with this, 17th place here, 7th in the rankings. That’s a 10th place over all, right in the center of the 20 quotas with a semi in Budapest locking in that rank.

 

Except, there’s at least 4 other Japanese skaters above him in the combined rankings. All younger, hell Ginwoo Onodera was 11 when Horigome won and is now above him in the world rankings. His success in Tokyo igniting the sport for Japan is looking like his downfall for Paris.

Well he’s 40th in the Olympic Ranking, and he actually produced a solid score as well. It’s just that (unfortunately for him) everyone else was doing that as well.

 Sky Brown has withdrawn from the Olympic Qualifying Series event in Shanghai ahead of women's park qualifying. She is recovering from knee injury and hopes to return for the 2nd event in Budapest. 

I think is unfair that they would not let an athlete to act as a reserve in that case....

On an adjusted basis, he was 27th in the ranking (stripping out nations with more than 4 skaters) and finishing 27th here should net him 7420 points which would be enough to move him up to 24th but had he been able to get into the top 20/top 22, he would have been on the edge of getting a quota.

In my defence, I had been up since 3am and I'd perhaps lost the attention to detail when it became clear that  weren't going to get a quota in the event

How many athletes will qualify from the WS and how much from each country? I want to know our chances if anyone has a clue

Max. 3 people from 1 country.: USA, BRA, AUSx 3. However, the previous ranking also counts here. It's quite complicated. According to my calculations, the 2nd Italian men will QO for today, who was 20th today,
