hckošice 13,130 Posted March 23, 2021 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2021 did not send anyone here... Since this is the main Olympic qualifier, this decision is just bizarre and absolutely inexcusable. The federation president arguing that The pandemic caused our athletes were unable to fully prepare and train for this important competition (the only one of the whole season!!!). It would not be reasonable to send anyone to this championship, we will hopefully be able to fight for the Olympics in September in Germany, where we aim to send someone in the women's competition (apparently there still slim chances of a return of Nicole Rajičová).

You can't send just anyone though. There are minimum requirements, which happen to be more strict than even those for the Olympics. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked at the entries and I do believe we have certainly at least someone who could be there easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,172 Posted March 23, 2021 #6 Share Posted March 23, 2021 First withdrawals due to positive tests... Safonova (ladies), Hayrapetyan (mens), Holichenko / Darenskyi (pairs)... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don´t know, maybe Marco Klepoch or Michal Neuner among mens, Monika Simančíková, Alexandra Filcová or Ema Doboszová among womens would certainly beat skaters from the 1st groups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TES minimum requirement for the short program (ladies) - 30.00 Doboszova (PB) - 25.04 FIlcova (PB) - 24.09 TES minimum requirement for the short program (men) - 34.00 Klepoch (PB) - 27.88 Neuner (PB) - 32.34 Based on this, athletes who qualified for Stockholm would easily finish ahead. Minmum requirements are that high. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vektor 3,177 Posted March 23, 2021 #9 Share Posted March 23, 2021 What are the quota expectations here? I have no idea if we have a chance here or not. I don't expect anything from Láng for example, this will her first big senior competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
