No. They won these quotas regularly in the qualification period, so no Host quotas needed or reallocated in Ice Dance or mens singles

Apparently Majorov will have to reach that 260 pts threshold, which is unlikely. He has to do that because this is his 2nd Olympics. Meanwhile, whichever Swedish girl gets selected will be able to go without extra requirements because she'll be making her Olympic debut.

 

Unless this decision gets reversed somehow, it will be that will gain the reallocation.

First GP of the season is in progress...

 

After Yuzuru Hanyu's free skate around 1000 teddy bears were thrown onto the ice. And after he got defeated eventually camera showed some Japanese girls crying in the stands. Come on, it's not the end of the World.

This was a very bad showing for Javier Fernandez in Beijing. I'm afraid that Spanish Winter Olympic curse might continue...

Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Nikolaj Sørensen have decided that they will represent Canada in the future with the 2022 Olympics as their ultimate goal.
So sad, but understandable as they live and train in Canada making a change of Laurence's nationality unlikely.

Due to this, they will stop competing on an international level for a year.

 top men's, pairs and ice dancing athletes all retired. The top woman and second best ice dance team are not competing this season. I don't think I have seen this much depth being removed from a country in one swoop
