Adrian, Sasha, Viktoria and Joshi :clap:

I see they named Gachinski to the Russian team instead of Menshov, even though Menshov is the National champion.

Fumie's on the list of substitutes for women. I thought she was like 8th at Japanese Nats.

Do those without a "D" or "S", including Kozuka who tops the Japan list, have to do the qualifying round?

Yeah, Euros really worked in Gachinski's favour.

Suguri was seventh, and the 5th and 6th placers are both at juniors (Nishino and Shoji).

Again, Europeans seems to be the deciding result. They did that alst year, sending Borodulin instead of Voronov to Vancouver when the latter flamed out at Euros. If it was politics, they wouldn't have fallen behind K/A in the FD at Nationals, imo.

IP, I really think they were overmarked at Europeans.

Are some of these candidates from Juniors?

As for the men:

Jorik HENDRICKX BEL

Jordan JU TPE

Viktor ROMANENKOV EST

Bela Papp FIN

Harry Hau Yin LEE HKG

Abzal RAKIMGALIEV KAZ

Min-Seok KIM KOR

Alexander MAJOROV SWE (with his own thread :cool: )

These are from small FS nation. E.g. I think Majorov sees this as a good preparation before real worlds. And actually I'm not sure if Sweden has a third guy who has the required tech points of junior worlds. Ondrei Spiegl, the other Swede, made the SP but didn't qualify to the free skate.

I guess it's the same for the other nations. They have few skaters who qualifies to competing internationally.

GO all low ranked skaters :clap:

It looks like many European Federations dont send their skaters to Tokyo, its strange that Slovakia dont send anyone according to the list, even the dance team which did a great 5th place at Junior worlds.

Does anyone know why Victoria Muniz is not on the list? I read in a forum that her goal is to reach the final at worlds this year. I hope she is not injured!

Count me in on the Swedish cheering squad! :yay: I think this is Sweden's strongest Worlds team in... well, ages!

Kristoffer Berntsson shares Menshov's fate, although in the Swede's case, it was the Nordic Championships that did him in (he finished 3rd behind Majorov and Schultheiss).

Looks like she's injured after 4CC.

Does anyone know why Liam Firus was named as a substitute, but not Elladj Baldé, who finished one spot higher than Liam at the Canadian Championships? :confused:

Yeah, I guess Russia decides the world team based on the performance at europeans.

Because Balde has not met the required score, since he has not competed internationally in the past couple of years.

Baldé needed to skate at an international event this season to meet the minimum score requirement for skating at Worlds.

ETA: Oops, oleada beat me to it!
