Well done Donovan 

 

While not a flawless skate, he never fell and maintained control and energy all trough his program and earned a new PB in both FP and total score

 

Now he can’t finish lower than 20th at worlds, quite proving he deserves a place in Bejing, when I hope he can finally break that 210.00 in total score.

You obviously have gigantic balls to wear a mullet. Please teach me how to reach that level of not giving a fuck!

Assuming our interpretation of the qualification system is correct...
 

Here are the countries currently eligible for the team event (after 3 events):
 

 look to be in line to gain eligibility through the ice dance

 

There might only be 8 countries eligible for the team event after the world championships. Those quotas available at the Nebelhorn will be very important for the likes of

Worry not, I am growing more to have Rasta dreadlocks :-D ..... How not to give a fuck regarding your haircut? I thought in Europe it's common. I am a Czech fella living in China. You learn here how not to give a fuck about anything :-D :-D :-D

• From my calculations, the Men's Nebelhorn Trophy will be a mess, as  all have the right to enter a skater there. But, since two skaters qualified for the free skate but only earned one quota, there will be 7 spots available at Nebelhorn instead of 6. So it'll basically be the entire world's second-tier skaters fighting for two quota spots  
• Same with pairs as  will definitely claim one of the 3 quotas, but I'm not sure if  (also eligible) has another pair.
• The women's will be much better though as while the is a sure quota  and don't have anyone else who would reach the WCH free skate regularly, so that'll be the world fighting for 5 spots.

Yeah, the men’s single is going to be a bloodbath at the Nebelhorn. 

 

Luckily,  already have skiers qualified from the world championships. Germany is the only team nation missing a skater in the men’s event, and it’s well within the realm of possibility that they’ll be able to get that quota at the Nebelhorn.

True, and they could get an additional team quota if they don't make it there. Does  have any pair skaters though? There weren't any at this year's Korean Nationals.

There’s a massive amount of confusion amongst journalists. I’ve been talking to a few of them Twitter, and there’s no consensus as to what the correct interpretation is. Here’s what one American journalist posted a few hours ago.
