Good luck! The team event participants should be announced a few days before the start of the competition.

Im so happy for for Andrei! It would have been heartbreaking if he was left off the team after beating Zhenya twice but at the same time I feel bad for Zhenya

 

[Alchamei]

Omg Mozalev made it even though everyone has written him off!

 

[Ivana]

No surprise, although I wish the third dance team would be different, but they already made the decision by pushing them at nationals. Really happy that Mozalev made it, he is such a fun skater to watch and not coming from any of the big groups.

 

[lariko]

I’ll start going insane with worry tomorrow, but today I will just celebrate Mozalev making the Olympic team!

 

[honey_badger]

If Mozalev gets selected, I will colour my hair green, seriously.

We are waiting for some kind of evidence.

 

[Azikin]

Not very surprising, kondratulations to Andrei...

 

[lariko]

We are waiting for some kind of evidence.

Hang in there, it’s still only 4:30 am in Calgary.

I want to see your dyed hair! You promised!

 

[lariko]

I want to see your dyed hair! You promised!

I will, I will. It’s still early hours. As in 4:30 am. Lemme watch my other fav in Juniors and whip oil industry into shape, then I will go and procure hair dye.

Have fun watching! I will be waiting patiently

Pretty much what I expected. Can I say though I am sad one of my favourite ice dance couples, Jonathan Guerreiro and Tiffany Zagorski will not be part of it. No surprise given the difficult year they had and Tiffany's health issues. I am generally glad for the roster though.

 

[Greengemmonster]

Wooooohoooooo

My dream team for the ladies

 

[AxelLover]

Well, there's no surprise in the choices and that's good. But I admit I was secretly hoping they would send Khudaiberdieva & Bazin instead of Davis & Smolkin.

 

[MiraiFan]

No surprise, although I wish the third dance team would be different...

You and me both. Just UGH.

 

[drivingmissdaisy]

It'll be interesting to see who gets the team event assignments. I honestly have no idea what they'll do with the men's segment.

 

[luvsasha]

So happy Andrei is going! And what a chain of events that lead to this result.

 

[TontoK]

I know that she had no reasonable chance after Europeans, but I still feel badly for Elizaveta.

For me, she's by far the most interesting of the Russian ladies.

Frankly considering how fluid the covid situation is and how prevalent omicron is, I think the first alternates should be very ready to go at a moment's notice. It would surprise me not at all if we saw multiple alternate substitutions this time around.

Ok this annoys me. If most athletes are vaccinated, why on earth is the IOC not allowing them to compete?

This Olympics will be a horror show honestly.
