I’m still praying for a tenth place finish for H/K so they can keep two spots for Germany but that wasn’t their best

 

[LadyB]

Thanks. They did seem familiar but their ISU bio was empty so I was unsure

Sorry, my mistake. I thought you talked about the Germans. No, Metelkina/Parkman are a brandnew pair. It's their first comp ever.

 

[Ichatdelune]

The music did kinda lull me to sleep again (which is not a difficult task right now though) and she did fall once, but overall not too bad. Would it be enough for a top 10 finish though

 

[SpiffySpiders]

I like Annika. She has something about her that grabs me, much like Miriam Ziegler.

Shame that wasn't a stronger skate, though they recovered well from the first throw.

 

[s_parks]

Shame about the first throw. Robert is not great yet, but given his age and the fact that we haven't seen him in top level competition before this partnership, I think he has potential.

 

[Fluture]

Aw such a shame for the fall, I really enjoyed them before that. Also seemed to be in another league so far in terms of speed.

 

[readernick]

I really like Hocke and this team is young so they have room and time to improve. Not the best skate but there is so much potential!

 

[Seven Sisters]

Yes, any pair where the lady gives her partner a big, beaming smile as they move into their lift positions, is 100% okay with me. Another one I’ll watch in the future.

 

[Gourlie]

Huh, Zhuk/Bidar will finish 16th at worst, which means direct qualification for the olympics

Is it true that China can't manage three quotas now?

 

[cathlen]

Yeah, but would it be invalidated or just get negative GOE?

My guess is invalidated. If there is not throw it would count as another solo jump, and they have only two jump passes and they need to be done SBS.

You watching live from Korea? awesome stay up!

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

I'm so hyped for Miriam and Severin's skate already! Really liked their new FS at nationals this year!

 

[flanker]

TBH I don't understand why the Germans received higher PCS than Hungarians.

 

[LadyB]

The plot thickens!!!! Matteo!!!

 

[litenkyckling]

Evelyn's dress is lovely

 

[GoneWithTheWind]

Hi everyone!
Made it back from work in time for Nicole & Matteo and Miriam & Severin, hooray!

 

[litenkyckling]

Hoping that M/M-T have put yesterday behind them - barely 2 points away from 6th place
