These girls earned their spots. They may have on-days and off-days, but they are able to skate decently at the Olympics: maybe no great results, but a good experience for them and they can make their countries proud only being there and giving their best efforts. I don't think it's ALL that expensive for their federations. I mean, for pairs and dance there are often citizenship issues that cannot be overcome, but for singles, whoever gets the spot should be sent, barring injury or MAJOR meltdowns.
The norwegian commentators are saying how the swedish comitee told Viktoria before euro champs that she was going to Sochi, so that she wouldnt have much pressure on her during euro champs, and instead of doing that to Anne Line they even but more pressure on her. They are saying that she has been presenting well overall, and should be send, theyre seem pretty uppset about it to... :/
10th.
Oy. Viktoria's won't be better. Still hoping one of the ladies can really step up.
you should join us and watch the German feed
I'm shocked it isn't geoblocked, since in Germany, they don't let us watch anything, not even music videos or skates on youtube because of some obscure music rights...
I'll consider filing a complaint that you guys get to see it if you're not extra-nice!
Speaking of which: Nathalie Weinzierl will be skating next - I'm hoping for some extra crossed fingers
Nathalie reminds me a bit of Kimmie Meissner
helgesson lands 3loop. Sport 2 commentator says: 'the jump irina slutskaya missed in her turino fs.' how bloody random is that?! Just shut up!

Daniel Weiss got the wrong job. His natural profession is obviously being a music critic.
any english feed? i'm watching a russian one and don't understand a word.
