What happened?
There was a publication of the FED announcing that they would send a certain couple to Pyeongchang despite the results obtained in Zagreb, it was corrected within a few hours, but given the background of the FED everything is possible. :noshake:
Happily there is justice and Sara / Kirill get the prize for their effort, I am very happy to see them in the Olympics
Some say it was sad to see Olivia cry, I would ask her: Didn't she think for a moment of how Sara felt when the FED refused to go to the Worlds despite having won the previous national tournament? The excuses of the FED were "that were more likely to get two seats for the next year" and none of that happened, my humble opinion, Sara and Kirill are excellent skaters and the best in dance of Spain at this time.
This. Also worth mentioning that, following the controversial decision to send S/D instead of H/K to worlds this year, S/D got a bonus GP assignment as well. Olivia is only 20; there will be plenty of time to make her mark on Spanish ice dance.

They literally said they would send Smart and Diaz?
Olivia is tweeting something about ice dance scandals, any idea what she's talking about?

According to this Philip Hersh's piece, the investigation about Golden Spin's judge is still going on, but Spanish FED confirmed him that they consider the results official, so no change expected in the spanish olympic team.
Knowing the Spanish FED history, I'm still crossing my fingers... But I'm really happy for Sara &Kirill!!

Sara and Kirill got 66.60 and go second (the best technically up to this moment and only 8 couples are missing) are among the 10 best

Very pleased they had a great SD, exceeding expectations, especially after the controversies around the selection process. Kirill's interpretation of the Latin rythm was excellent (Sara is a natural, of course...). Didn't expect him to be so strong in it. Best of luck for the FD. Please remain in the top 10.
