Justyna Plutowska & Jeremie Flemin retired after last season so good luck in finding a second dance pair who can qualify

Maybe they will "unretire", lately Oktawia Nowacka did it and also 36yo Paweł Korzeniowski will try qualify to another Olympics tomorrow and in Sunday at Polish Grand Prix

I know there is a whole other group left, but unless some absolutely insane things happen this is basically done.

 

Women's singles quotas, assuming there isn't any meltdown of historical proportion:

 

3 quotas:

 

2 quotas:

 

1 quota:

 

Countries that can earn an extra spot:

 

The USA needs Karen Chen to finish third or better to be able to earn a third spot.

Is Trusova’s 12th to 3rd the biggest climb in position at WCh?

Japan gets their third spot and the US are eligible to earn a third spot with nothing to spare - both accumulated 13 points.

 

The US maintained eligibility for a third spot by 0.21 points... that was a close call.

It's not if you consider the old compulsory figures. Denise Biellmann was notoriously bad at CP and Janet Lynn won silver in 1973 despite 12th in short program (but she was 1-2 in free & compulsory).

 

I recall one totally forgettable short from Maria Butyrskaya before she climbed up after free but don't remember the year anymore.

I would be pretty angry if I was the second or third French dance team tbh.

Oh well, I guess they had a mental breakdown when they suddenly got defeated by Russians last year...

 

And by suddenly I mean after a 15-minute delay of their score. Not shady at all...

In conspiracy, we call it script. Judges still want to give US 3 quotas.

I’m actually pretty sure Czechia has already locked in qualification in both men’s and women’s singles.

Expand  

Yep, it seems that way. Heard some rumours the quota might be counted differently. But hope the quota for Czechs will remain unchanged. We are missing Ice Dance though. Hoping to qualify from Nebelhorn Trophy in the fall.

I am quite frustrated at how vaguely the qualification system is written tbh.
