2017 Worlds Pairs FS

No No NO! THis can't be. Actually they are guaranteed two if in top 12 so USA is home free and all is well:) But Canada just lost its 3 spots. Unless the young Russians mess up a lot or one of the Chinese teams.

No, they aren't guaranteed 2 if in top 12. In the usual course of events that would be true, but at this specific competition things are VERY dicey because of how many countries are earning multiple spots. 16 spots is max no matter what so if all 16 are taken by the teams who place higher, it's the USA's that will be cut since the ITA and the FRA teams are currently higher. This also depends on both Russia AND Canada earning 3 spots though. LOTS of moving pieces here, the situation is legitimately very complicated. Normal rules might not apply.
 
Polish Eurosport commentator made remarks that Zabiiako / Enbert were emotionless and didn't use their music. Also that he felt very tired while watching it.

I have to agree with him, it seemed neverending & lacklustre. I suspect that one of their lifts did not get credit.

After yesterday's epically successful SP, I'm...honestly not surprised that a lot of teams are riding the struggle bus today, whether because of injury or another reason.

Or maybe because Pairs are so often scheduled without a day of rest between SP and FP? It sucks that this discipline is so mistreated.
 
Knierims in top10. Two spots saved. Now go my favourite Canadian team :luv17:
 
Thank goodness after all S/K have been through they didn't need people blaming them for not getting the job done and saving the 2 spots.
 
Some of the most unlistenable sounds coming from my tv's speakers :frown:
