You can add Japan to the list as well. Japan was saved by Takahashi after Oda melt down and Kozuka bombed his LP.
The JFed is really lucky that Dai chose to fight through his injury and come back. I was not expecting Taka and Oda to both implode so dramatically.
Any predictions who will make the teams next year? It's obvious with Japan's team (Daisuke, Nobu, Taka) but the US and Canadian teams might not be as clear. Is Evan and Johnny coming back next season? Who would be Canada's #3? I doubt Sawyer is staying and Chipeur might be done.
Reynolds is 11th, Kozuka was 10th. Hope it was still enough, i never payed attention to pointed needed for 3. Russia will only have 1?
Yes, Russia will have only one spot. If Plushenko stays on, the young talents will be deprived the sole opportunity to grow and learn and that could have pretty negative long-term effect on Russian men skating given that Plushenko is already 28 and can't stay on that much longer.
Abbot and Rippon should be proud too, wish there was a skater like Rippon coming in Canada, not sure if anyone can come close to Chan in the next few years.
