NearPup 2,156 Posted September 24, 2021 #21 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Pairs Olympic qualifiers: Alternates: Really disappointing result for China, who almost certainly would have had three pairs after worlds if not for COVID and because 2 of the 3 teams ahead of them are transfers. Unfortunately they had two falls. This is the Olympic debut in pairs for both Spain and “Georgia”. Qualification summary for pairs: Three entries: Two entries: One entry: maestro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted September 25, 2021 #22 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Sadly no joy for Cyprus. It's easy to blame them for entering Zingas instead of Kitromilis, but then again, Zingas finished ahead of Kitromilis in literally every competition last season I believe. Kitromilis' recent result in America came ouf of nowhere. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intoronto 4,226 Posted September 25, 2021 #25 Share Posted September 25, 2021 becomes the 32nd and last nation to qualify for the figure skating events. Same as in Pyeongchang, with 4 less quotas. Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted September 25, 2021 #26 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Pleased for Finland. They missed out narrowly in the ice dance for previous few Olympics. This is their first couple since Rahkamo/Kokko. Also very happy for the Armenian couple. Ted 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahjfcshfghb 285 Posted September 25, 2021 #28 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Only 10 nations have enough quotas to be eligible for the team event, so we already know which are qualified regardless of rankings. Debuts for Georgia and Czech Republic (!). No France for the first time. Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted September 25, 2021 #29 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Still not a fan of the team event even with Georgia on board. The outcome is too predictable and the competition system is nuts. Basically game over after the short program. mrv86 and Ted 1 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should limit it to 8 teams max, and perhaps of the placements being added, the scores maybe? Either way when you do a team event for an individual sport, it will always lead to the predictable result. Ted and ahjfcshfghb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
