The announcement says only one video may be submitted, but where does it say there's only one attempt to shoot it?When reading more closely about the rules it seems they only have one chance. Which would totally make more sense, otherwise it would be too easy. Well then there is a lot that could go wrong, but hey - at least he has a chance to qualify this season.
It seems the program must be filmed during February 16th and 19th. In about 2 weeks why might know if he applied and made it
In this thread there is more details about the application.
I see! Still, one chance is better than no chance.
Both outcomes have their upsides. If he doesn't make it, we won't have to worry about his health as much as if he does.Indeed. So the nerves and only one shot could get in the way of him making the TES. Still, the situation is much better because he won´t be in front of the judges and he already has the SP minimum which means he only needs to apply for the FS. He can fully focus on only practicing the FS now for 2 weeks and at the day the video is being filmed he hasn´t been competing the day before or travelled, so I guess there will be another level of energy and stamina.
The lack of competitions though this season could have affected him in a bad way if he hasn´t been running through the FS as much as usual. And he probably wasn´t excepting to fight for minimums in 2 weeks from now. But still, sometimes not having the pressure and focusing of other things could turn out positive.
This will also be the first time that he performs the Vivaldi FS "in front of judges" and I guess he is ready to show the world the program
PS: I have a feeling that we wont know before after if he applied or not. I think Sondre is a person to keep such thing a secret until he knows the outcome.
He is like the male version of Sonja Henie. Sondre Henie? 
I thought so too.Deadline to apply for the video evaluation is tonight and then another 72 hours to send the video! Very exciting. Sondre just posted on Instastory a glimpse from his FS. I don´t think it´s a coincidence that he posted this today, I would say it´s a good chance he is practicing in order to qualify. In that case, good luck to Sondre the next days. I´m really hoping he is applying and that he will make the minimum
I find it odd, because it certainly looked like he rehearsed his FS. My guess would be that he made a try, but it didn´t go well, so he never sent the tape.
I replied to you in the other thread. I think it's possible that he submitted the video. Some skaters who entered the video evaluation just didn't beat their best scores in one or both segments and that's why these scores are not included. We don't have a list of people who participated.Looking at the other thread, where scores are listed, it looks he never sent a tape
It´s too bad, the scores looked a bit inflated so maybe he would have got if he did send it with minor mistakes.
There could also be other reasons I guess.
I'm sad to hear that. I thought he'd make it to the Olympics. Does he have any plans, maybe be a coach?Sondre has just announced his retirement from competitive skating on Instagram.
I wasn´t mental prepared for this to happen now. It breaks my heart to think never made it to WC or OG. The whole world deserved to enjoy his artistic ability....
