There is only one French pair in Korea. So they'll have to skate the LP if the French team qualifies... which I doubt. Possible but might be short on that.
Why? i think i missed something... ?

Agreed, Z/E deserved to be the best placed Russians today. :agree:
Really crappy competition from the top Russian pairs. I am really sick of Stolbova falling everywhere. This pair could have actually won and gone to the Olympics with a great boost. I'm afraid their chances for an individual medal at the Olympics is also gone.

Well, she's not TRYING to fall everywhere. Although, he definitely has the right to glare at her more these days than vice versa.
It's a shame... this program is one of their best, but they just give me the impression of "hanging on" rather than really making a push for the podium.
That 3T was most definitely a fluke error from her - she slipped off the toe pick clearly and it could not be saved from then on.
Kudos to Z/E for having an excellent performance though!
