dcro 10,192 Posted March 29, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Women's short program is in progress, the opening event of WCh in Helsinki. It looks like Chinese import competing for will probably make the free skate. Here's a chance for their first ever Winter Olympic qualification. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,192 Posted March 29, 2017 Author #2 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Spoke too soon. just missed out on free skate after some of the skaters later on excelled. Anyway, this is the standings for Olympic qualification after short program 3 quotas - 2 quotas - 1 quota - Kazakhstan is currently the biggest troll. They have 2 quotas since their sole skater here (Tursynbaeva) is currently in 10th place. Just enough to have two skaters provisionally, even though the level of other Kazakhs is much, much lower...

dcro 10,192 Posted March 29, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted March 29, 2017 What a great skate for Petranović/Souza Kordeiru Much better than at Europeans! Of course, they won't make free skate in this company, but it is very nice nevertheless! mrv86 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I hope that doesn't happen, because even when Tursinbayeva deserves to be in the Olympics it will be unfair that her sole performance gives a place to some medium level skater, even if she barely manages to get minimum TES... Still she should watch of the Japanese girls, Bell (USA) and Choi (KOR), who in turn, could give her country a second spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,192 Posted March 29, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted March 29, 2017 goes into second. At this rate they might finish in top 10 and actually qualify two pairs. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could Singapore qualify for Olympics here despite missing free skate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably their best hope is that US girls currently in top 10 drop 2 places combined (for example finish 6th and 8th). Also, they will need either Kostner or Tursynbaeva to be kicked out of top 10 by either Japanese or US skater that is currently outside of top 10 (Bell, Hongo, Mihara). Other possibility is that both and get kicked out of top 10 by Japanese and/or US skaters. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
