[Andrea82]

French team

All the spots are used, good! But why another test for Esbrat/Novoselov...

Do they have some injury problems? 2 weeks ago at Bavarian Open they withdrew after the SP.

She was injured some months ago, and didn't fully recovered for Europeans (they skated not bad, but can do better). Maybe there's still a little problem...
But selection tests are common with French Fed, to be honest I'm surprised that there's no more skaters concerned by the test!

 

[SimplyLex]

POL (1) probably Kaliszek/Spodyriev
UKR (1) probably Nazarova/Nikitin

Why the probablies? These teams pretty much have it in the bank, right?

Yes there's no doubt they will be in... Probably just means there is no official announcement and an other team met the TES (Plutowska/Flemin for Poland and Gaistruk/Oleinik for Ukraine, but not sure of what they become, their last competition was in october)

Team Finland is announced: http://www.stll.fi/2017/02/28/suomen-edustajat-taitoluistelun-mm-kotikisoihin-on-nimetty/
No suprises, so you can change the names official just as listed before.

Final provisional list. No other skaters reached TES at Tyrol Cup or Nordics.

So we could see in Helsinki 38 ladies (same number as last year), 38 men (+8), 33 ice dance teams (+3) and 29 or 30 pairs (+7/8), which would be a historical record.

30 pairs teams? :eeking:

Up to 30 teams- this is unprecedented. A couple of years ago, we were panicking about a shortage of pairs teams at the senior level!!

Whoop- an 8 warm up group Pairs SP!!! Get your jackets and blankets out.

Almost half of the teams will be cut off after SP. I guess the ones which will qualify for Free will be really worth watching, since it won't be easy this year.

Thanks! So tomorrow there will be an official list?

Usually the lists are published between tuesday and thursday

For pairs, I'm not sure about the North Korean team, and maybe one or two will withdrew. But at least we'll have 7 SP warm-up groups, which happened for the last time in 2010 (with 25 pairs)

 

[SamuraiKike]

30 pairs teams? :eeking:

We should enjoy this opportunity . Is pretty likely ISU will upgrade the TES minimuns for Pairs next season.

If so, I hope not by much, so that many teams will be able to achieve the minimums
