Glad to see Kolesnik did it

Their Exhibition Gala routine (at least today) was to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra version of "Shchedryk" :)

Women: Amber Glenn, Alysa Liu, Isabeau Levito

Can’t think of a more likable trio of figure skater sent by one country to the games dating back to when I started watching xD

 

The US is lucky to have these three.

The US is lucky to have these three.

We (for better or for worse) have Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir as our commentators, and Tara is super thrilled to see these three together.

 

The question remains as to which color medal we can achieve, and can we get more than one?  The Japanese women are pretty insane...but can they skate cleanly?  (That's how Alysa got the Grand Prix Final gold, because the Japanese women all had some mistakes.)

 

If I were a betting man...

Men: Ilia gold (obvious...nobody will disagree)

Women: Amber or Alysa will get on the podium...potentially both...but idk what color, and I don't know in what order.  Amber skated cleanly at nationals, but isn't consistent...but she has the triple axel.  Alysa is consistent, but doesn't have the triple axel.  (Also - Alysa just broke out a new program at Nationals...might she try something crazy and try out the 3A in addition?  I think only if she's super confident, and I've never seen her do it.)

Pairs: No medal

Dance: Chock/Bates Gold, but close to Cizeron/Fournier Beaudry.

Team: Gold

For worse imo. The only context where I have enjoyed either of them was when Weir was the US commentator for Eurovision a couple years. That was fun. He has the right kind of energy for that, and I’m sure both of them would be great on reality TV (I don’t watch the Traitors but they are on the current US season).

 

I don’t think either of them really has the right personality to commentate figure skating. They are a bit too… catty.

 

I’m def gonna either watch the World Feed or I’ll VPN to the CBC coverage for figure skating.

Not going to disagree with anything you said.  :)  I love Grand Prix season since we have ready access to the World Feed.

The Swiss-Team for Milano Cortina

 

Figure Skating: 3 (1M; 2W)

Men: Lukas Britschgi

Women: Kimmy Repond, Livia Kaiser

Khm, do we know the fate of the :UZB license in pairs?

I did not see confirmation of their entry.

 

If they fail :FRA must get full license (team + individual) and one more place for team event will be available, am I correct?

    • Thank you! And I wish  win your medals at these Games and continue medal streak! For us even one medal will mark the Games as successfull.  
    • Trump will attack Iran soon , maybe tonight   
    • Yep, that was really unfortunate, but well, such things happens. Anyway this amount of lugers is really impressive.   Congrats and good luck at the Games
    • Yeah, Qualifying a team for the summer olympics is completely out of the question. Not going to happen for a long time. In Sydney 2000 we had 3 teams W Basketball, M Football & M Water Polo, it was already insane and this was even in a totally different era. Nowadays it is just Utopian. We have none to be at a high level in Europe to aspire for a qualification to the Olympics.   W Handball is really the most obvious chance in a long shot. The U17 girls showed last summer that it is possible, who knows maybe in Brisbane if the planets allign well.    Paris 2024 was a nightmare I do not want to remember. The worst games I experienced in my life. point.

    • Honestly, we did not expect more than 8. 2 additional places happened just becaues your double could not grab it due to the injury(?).
    • Vivat Slovakia    But in all seriousness, it's been repeatedly stated how important it is to qualify in a team event for the next Summer Olympics. However, I have no idea if we even have a realistic chance.   We only have one fewer individual athlete competing this year than we did in Paris, so individual quota spots aren't the main issue. Where can we find a competitive team, like we do in hockey? Maybe the women's handball team could start something big, but that's still far in the future, very likely unachievable in just two years.   And to be clear, as horrific as our medal tally from Paris looked, those were some of the unluckiest Olympics for Slovakia I have ever seen. Finishing in the top six seven times (!) is absolutely insane.
    • Biathlon (6 - 2W; 4M)   Anastasia Tolmacheva Andreea Mezdrea (our media put her in)   George Buta Raul Flore Dmitri Shamaev George Coltea   Bobsleigh (4M + 1 reserve)   Constantin Dinescu George Iordache Mihai Păcioianu Mihai Tentea     Figure Skating (1W)   Julia Sauter - flag bearer       Luge (7 - 3W; 4M)   Corina Buzatoiu Carmen Manolescu Raluca Stramaturaru   Denis Serban Marian Gîtlan Eduard Craciun Valentin Cretu     Ski Jumping (4 - 2W; 2M)   Delia Floea Daniela Haralambie   Daniel Cacina Mihnea Spulber   Alpine skiing (2 - 1W; 1M)   Sofia Moldovan   Alexandru Stefanescu   Nordic skiing (3 - 1W; 2M)   Delia Reit   Paul Pepene Gabriel Cojocaru   Snowboard (2W)   Kata Mandel Henrietta Bartalis   For me it’s a very special edition because two of my friends (Edi Craciun and Gabi Cojocaru) made it. So fingers crossed for them and for the whole delegation.   We don’t expect to much as usual in winter games (1-2 top 10 - luge team, women’s doubles luge, 2man bobsleigh, and maybe Julia Sauter if she will skate clean both programs)
