2023 GP Espoo Entries

[TT_Fin]

I ate my words and speculate. There are strong clues Samoilov will be one, as he had just posted yesterday participant list of Warsaw on her ig stories and now there is the list without his name linked from someone elses post with comment " ooh we will miss you". I suppose skaters are allowed to tell it in public after official announcements. And Nikita trains a lot in Finland with Janna's team; he has been silent in his stories, usually he is active. I follow Nikita in ig. I do not follow Samoilov, yet, but I stalked.

well... i hope you are wrong for obvious reasons. I don't care for either skater and they had opportunities to skate already. But it is what it is... better a full field than not... and if it's them, may they seize their opportunity. I still think it's sad that higher ranked skaters are getting passed over. OH. WELL. I didn't like when Guarise complained about it himself : I think it's not classy when you are a skater, complaining about others passing ahead of you... but as a fan, it's all fine : I can express my sorrows. In any case, it's not like I can watch GPs held in Europe... Someone has work to do

Starostin and Shmuratko are on the list now. So Samoilov has another reason to wd from Warsow.

Good for them! I hope they make the most out of the opportunity.

 

[TallyT]

I sincerely hope that they will fill these spots. Why would these skaters withdraw at the last minute like this ??? If it's visa problems, I can understand but I doubt that's the case of Cha. I like Cha a lot but yeah.... not happy about these late withdrawals... I hope there is a good reason for him to w/d so late.

Injury.

Injury.

I am sad for him. I guess he tried to see if he could make it happen, which would explain the late w/d.

Happy spots are filled. Unhappy about the choices made. I am done whining

Sihyeong Lee withdrew from NHK Trophy. So there's another watch party starting .

I'm hoping against hope that Alexander Selevko might get it -- he's the only one of the three Estonian men w/o a GP assignment this season.

You guys are going to kill me Selevko is outside the top ten replacement list so he won't get it. Top three, once more as nobody seems to care about them are Mark, Maksim and Conrad. If we go with geography, Conrad is the closest as he trains in Alberta but you know, NHK already chose not to invite him when they chose Wesley who is below on the replacement list... but yeah....anything really to push my son across the Pacific I am going to bed without much hope. At least this one is early enough and we know it will be filled

Thank you for the clarification. Could you point me to the top 10 list? Is it published somewhere on this forum? Thank you.

Ivan has posted he had got the news 23.17 yesterday. Maybe must chance my nick as instagram stalker.

As there are 3 Japanese men on the list and Japan is maxed at NHK, he might be considered together with Samoilov and Torgashev. If not ignoring the Japanese, top 3 is actually Kataise, Gorodnitsky, Naumov.

I had not included the Japanese men as I am aware it cannot be a Japanese man so the top three I was referring to = Mark, Maksim and Conrad. Then, still excluding Japanese guys, there is
4)Roman
5)Lucas
6)Ivan
7)Nikita
8)Tomas
9)Matthew
10)Vladimir
11) Jaeseok (don't know him ?)
12) Alex Selevko
13) Torgashev

Of course, there are a bunch of Japanese guys intertwined in there, but I had not counted them. If they are really looking inside the top ten, then Sasha is not in it.

 

[lariko]

Will they actually sub in this close to the competition? Would love to see any of the guys on sub list get a spot.

Ivan Shmuratko and Nikita Starostin just got the open spots, so they should be there...

this new talk about Sasha Selevko is about NHK

Ah, I see. In that case, I suppose it's about whoever JSF wants and whoever is able to get to Japan the fastest...

Edit: Estonians have visa-free travel to Japan...

NICE! Good luck to the guys!

Starostin in now in Warsaw. But not Shmuratko. Is he going to Finland? Does anyone else? So mysterious.
