Aw, we've missed the 13 needed. Oh well, back to 2 spots in pairs as usual!

Sylvia tweets Cong/Sui landed a 2fted throw 4S! WOW! The Shen and Zhao of Sochi, perhaps!

[SamuraiKike]

Aw, we've missed the 13 needed. Oh well, back to 2 spots in pairs as usual!

You know, if China could got away with sending 3 teams despite not reaching the 13 number last year, next time US and Canada should do the same.


Oh and poor Kuznetstov . Ends up in 4th place for the third consecutive year, only this time with a different partner!.

[Tony Wheeler]

I'm still baffled about how China was able to send three teams, and I just blogged about it here: http://tony-wheeler.blogspot.com/201...ese-pairs.html

[gold12345]

Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. There must be an explanation somewhere because I'm sure at least one of the other competitors at this event noticed that there were 3 Chinese pairs entered and said something. But what the heck could the explanation be?

[Tony Wheeler]

There's no rule anywhere as far as I've searched that says anything contradicting the typical rules. I think the ISU just made a huge screw-up and China gladly used all three spots.

[gold12345]

And when the entries list came out, not one other country told the ISU that China has an extra team listed? It's just weird how nobody picked up on the error.

[snowflake]

It's all about choosing the right partner
Allright, not easy in Russia, where there are so many to choose between

[Tony Wheeler]

No one probably thought to look. That's the best explanation I can come up with, honestly. I only noticed during the pairs free skate when the team who had been 12th in the short was making a climb upwards, I decided to look at the previous years results to see how the teams fared.

[Joesitz]

Regarding the extra Pair Team. Isn't it standard to request additional Pairs to fill up the whole event?

[watchvancouver]

Wow, Sui/Han, throw 4S!!!

They will instantly become a world-class pair if Han can grow another 5-10 cm, and they learn to land sbs triples in competitions.

Technically they're very very strong with the exception of lacking of sbs triples. throw 4s+throw 3flip, level II 3twist! Artistrically they're also excellent with the ability to handle difficult choreography. Plus, they're so consistent.
