So it is official. Wishing Aliona the best and I hope she is fully recovered soon.
With S/S out this gives Duhamel/Radford a real shot at the Gold here.
You forgot Kavaguti/Smirnov :yes:
P/T and V/T are through already. In addition, there are three teams with second place finishes who have another GP left (D/R, K/S, and B/L); I expect all of them to finish first or second in their second event, and even a third place will have them ahead of D/C. The NHK pairs field is fairly thin and M-T/M can finish second there pretty easily. If that happens, D/C will be out, as both pairs will have 22 points, and the tiebreaker will go to the skaters with the higher finish. You also have two teams with a bronze medal in their first GP competing at TEB, so they too still have a shot at GPF qualifying.I guess this gives another pair a chance to get into the GPF then. Possibly Denney/Coughlin could make it since I believe they were on the bubble before.
:no: V/T winning a GPF with three or four falls, then? :disapp:
