2025 Skate to Milano Men's Free Skate

[Jumping_Bean]

so exporting skaters that qualify and importing skaters that don't qualify

Germany qualified in Ice Dance, so on par in terms of qualifying (Asaf is half-Russian, half-German, as in he spent his Novice career in Russia and his Junior and early Senior career in Germany). And even though I love Julia, I don't think she would have skated for as long as she did under the German flag. Not with Nicole Schott's long career.

Nargiz didn't qualify but she was at least allowed to be here (and has Worlds minimums). I don't even think the German fed would have allowed her to come here if she was still representing Germany. (Just like they didn't allow the only German Jr pairs with Jr Worlds minimums to compete at Jr Worlds last season because they didn't score high enough for their standards.)

Kyrylo was is first 4-3 in competition he did? I think his spins have improved a lot too.

 

[elektra blue]

i think Kyrylo made it

I'm out of loop. Russian skaters can now compete under ISU?

no.. the IOC imposed their participation for the games... ISU came up with a bunch of crazy rules... so only a couple athletes will make it... no pairs, no dance... no team. but Russians won't be on the GP nor worlds

Kyrylo ran out of steam in the middle, but he got it back again. I think he has probably done enough to go into the lead. After that, it will depend on what the remaining skaters do...

Nope, just for the Olympics and the qualifying competition.

hello mrs. Virtanen!

 

[FlossieH]

Are you still up from yesterday, or have you gone to sleep and got up again?

Can the judges hurry up for the scant remainders of my sanity

 

[cathlen]

No.

Ok, so AIN is for Olympics only? How does it work?

I was half joking.. but it seems that Canada is not the only Fed having weird ideas

It's taking forever with the scores

If we're already going to do that, let's talk about the Jr Women's field (who don't factor into the Olympic spots, but would have into the Team qualification as there are no German women on the Sr GP), because, quelle surprise, both of the girls on the JGP this season are German (and the two alternates are German and Ukrainian), Hocke/Kunkel are also both German (Germany does have two pairs spots). And so are the Ice Dancers (who have qualified for the Olympics).

(There are also Sr Women (who are German, mostly), but none were sent here. Half of them have been injured recently.)

none of the eligible for seniors women has the technical score to go to the worlds, only one to go to the Europeans. So when it comes to Olypics 2026 there is no german woman
