Figure Skating 2017 - 2018 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Had indirect contact with a journalist covering Nebelhorn.

 

She said France have officially rejected 2nd pairs spot, 5 pairs will qualify from Nebelhorn.

:GBR:JPN:GER:LTU:FIN:SVK are holding ice dance quotas after the short dance. I'm pretty sure that Allison Reed will struggle to get Lithuanian citizenship though. :KOR  :ARM:CZE:BLR are definitely within the striking distance going into the free dance.

 

South Korea is actually guaranteed extra quota place if they fail to qualify, what is an utter nonsense. So, if they finish in top 6 here then we'll have 24 couples at the Olympics, if not then there will be 25. Either give them a host quota or not, this is just stupid!

Officially it's 5, but with Laurence Fournier-Beaudry not being granted Danish citizenship (even if she marries her partner/boyfriend), then we can already count this realloction.

How cool would it be if Zoe Jones qualifes for her first Olympics at Nebelhorn Trophy. Her first senior competition was Nebelhorn Trophy in fact, in 1994...

She isn't really trying to get Danish citizenship

:AUS Alexandrovskaya/Windsor did well. If Kailani Crane grabs women's singles quota then Australia will be looking to participate in the team event.

    • Lots of injuries, including often just pure bad-luck stuff like a fall from a set of stairs, illness, and of course the Sochi tragedy in 2014: one of her biathlon friends, young Julia Pieper, killed herself with a biathlon rifle early during the Olympics (she wasn't on the team, but was a training partner of both Preuss and Dahlmeier). Obviously a hard hit, which led to terrible Olympics for Preuss, with a DNF, awful results in her other individual races and a relay where she was the first runner for Germany, but fell early on, got snow in her rifle and broke a pole and ended up losing almost 3 minutes, which in turn resulted in Germany being off the podium for the first time ever.   After that came all the injuries and illness and everything. So glad to finally see her have her big individual global gold, that is so well deserved.
    • Dave Ryding's Sixth was the best from a  man since 1934!  We actually have two Women's Golds in the 1930s.
    • first win for the Italian men's relay since 2007      very good Home stage for us   if only the organizers didn't set the finals sessions at 2 p.m. (especially on Saturday), there would have been a lot more spectators on the seats
