No 3rd spot for Russia at Olympics
It all depends on how Sotnikova skates. Could go either way.

I thought the score was too high for that performance.
Right, yeah. She had too much ground to make up. There are still fully 9 girls, 10 with Sotnikova who can beat that. So not without a splatfest.

I wish it was tomorrow at 2 so I could actually watch this.
Man, the Russian singles contingent isn't having a good go of it.

We'll have to see the protocols to be sure, but except for the fumble on her second jump, she didn't make any major technical errors. PCS was higher than Leonova's, though...?

Just to be clear I wasn't commenting on my opinion but on her reaction. I thought the score was about right- I wouldn't have had it any higher though. She looked very upset and was shaking her head.

Glebova's jumps hardly seem to lift off the ice.
Sexy short skirt definitely show off her long legs. And with sexy music to boot.

I doubt Sotnikova will place high enough. Russia will only have 2 spots

4 clean triples, but only toe loops and salchows. Her whippy double axels don't get any lift, but she lands them.
FS: 47.70 + 51.20 - 1.00 = 97.90 (PB)
Tot: 152.49 (PB), in 3rd (out of 11)

I fear you're right, but I won't completely give up until I see how she skates.

She's always very demanding in terms of scores. She's never been happy with those marks. LOL.
I agree. But you never know, if Sotnikova perform all her jumps should could be right up there. But that's a big if since she's been so inconsistent this season.

I count 9 with Sot who I think could realistically beat it but I do think there is still an outside shot they could get 3 spots. I'd put the odds right now at about 20-25% that they will get them, 75-80% that they won't.

Sotnikova would have to medal (which is hugely unlikely as things sit now). Even then it might not be enough as Tuktamysheva is not certain to come around 10th with that final score. I predict by nights end Russia is far from that 3rd spot, when before Worlds I would have said they would be very close, and had a good shot to get it.

I'm literally shaking because Gracie is coming on so soon.
