NHK is the most stacked in all 4 disciplines, so I feel bad for the skaters there they will have high scores, but won't make GPFI know it’s due to withdrawals, but the distribution of pairs is wildly uneven. The five teams with the top scores are all at NHK and then the next ranked are all at Espoo.
6 of the 12 women at NHK have won a medal on this GP circuit, as have 5 of the men and 4 of the pairs. That's almost half the field for those 3 disciplines.NHK is the most stacked in all 4 disciplines, so I feel bad for the skaters there they will have high scores, but won't make GPF
I just took a closer look and NHK will determine who makes GPF with so many people playing spoilers to others, rough breaks that’s for sure.NHK is the most stacked in all 4 disciplines, so I feel bad for the skaters there they will have high scores, but won't make GPF
Matte/Ferland also out from Espoo. . So many WD's, will there soon be any pairs to replace, if there is any more? I mean those who has enough scores to get a spot? I am asking this being serious.So we have a doublein Espoo's pairs!
Georgians vs. Georgians
and
Dutch vs. Dutch (the secret ex-Champs-now-Coaches-battle? )
also Italians vs. Italians but there are generally more pairs in the mix.
Super exciting!
I think these are the remaining pairs possibilities:Matte/Ferland also out from Espoo. . So many WD's, will there soon be any pairs to replace, if there is any more? I mean those who has enough scores to get a spot? I am asking this being serious.
They are now in.I think these are the remaining pairs possibilities:
Crafoord/Crafoord SWE
I think these are the remaining pairs possibilities:
Crafoord/Crafoord SWE
Vaipan-Law/Digby GBR
Piegad/Strekalin FRA
Yunoki/Ichihashi JPN
Swedes were added just today and there are no eight pairs so far.Crafoord twins have already been selected. The bolded pairs have the minimum score required.
As of right now (unless Finland chooses another pair) Skate America has been the only event with a full slate of pairs.
Were NHK able to select Yunoki/Ichihashi as a host fed, or would they have to follow the selection rules? Just feels like a missed opportunity for them...Crafoord twins have already been selected. The bolded pairs have the minimum score required.

Yunoki/Ichihashi would also be "selectable" on normal rules.Were NHK able to select Yunoki/Ichihashi as a host fed, or would they have to follow the selection rules? Just feels like a missed opportunity for them...
Kazakh media say he was in hospital (the reason wasn't given, but not covid).So when did Shaidorov lost his two assignments? Daaaamn….
God, speedy recovery, but the kid just can’t get a break… I think and could return to juniors still next year if he has to? As long as he recovers.Kazakh media say he was in hospital (the reason wasn't given, but not covid).
How unlucky is his career after all. It will be very difficult to get the stages next season.
