I still don't understand what is taking so long for the entry list to be officially published.
The Event is starting in around a fortnight.

The Event is starting in around a fortnight.

It is premature to expect the entry list to have been published … given that the deadline for entries is not until tomorrow: "Friday, July 20, 2018 – 20:00 h (Local time Bangkok)."

[SamuraiKike]

Good to see more PRK entries.

Shame CHN is not sending any man ((Han Yan))

Tha pairs podium is locked

Overall still a long way to go to develop the Asian region to have bigger/more interesting fields but this is a nice step forwards

North Korea has an ice dance entry: Yong Myong PHYO / Min CHOE

Perhaps PHYO has international experience in other disciplines?

North Korean pair entry PHYO Yong Myong / JONG Yong Hyok competed at 2006 OWG. (Placed last in SP; WD from FS.)

And North Korean lady Yong Myong PHYO placed fifth in Senior Ladies at 2012 Asian Figure Skating Trophy and competed at a JGP in 2008.​

Same PHYO in all cases???

Feiyao Tang has 14 years !! 15 years on August 5th. She should not be senior.

Someone should notice ISU before it's another fiasco like the time CHN send 3 pairs to Junior Worlds when it only could send 2.

 

[GF2445]

Gah, there are not enough pairs teams for world ranking points and seasons best to apply.

I found this pic from 2017

https://www.gettyimages.fi/detail/n...skaters-nam-yongmyong-and-picture-id644746432

The caption says "Figure skaters Nam Yong-Myong (left) and Choe Min pose for a portrait in Pyongyang. The skaters were performing at the Paektusan Prize international figure skating festival".

The guy should be the one we will see next week. Her name doesn't fully match though. So he may have a different partner now or it is just a different way to call her.

wait what about the junior and novice categories?????????????

I think Seasons Best will apply.

ISU Communication 1894

In the case that one discipline within an event of the ISU Challenger Series does not meet the above mentioned revised minimum number of participants, this discipline will not be considered as part of the ISU Challenger Event. Consequently no World Standing Points would be awarded for this discipline and the participants of the discipline in question would not be awarded points for the special ranking of the series. The event, however, would still count for “Seasons Best Score” and “Minimum total Technical Score”.

They got the news. They have removed them from entry list today

Is there going to be a live stream?
Last year’s one in Hong Kong only had a live stream for the free programs.

According to FSAT facebook page, the Seniors events (Aug 4-5) will be broadcasted on T Sport.
There’s a chance they might do a facebook live stream for the competitions (they didn’t say so but just my guess) so you might want to keep an eye on their offical facebook page https://m.facebook.com/fsatthai/

And here’s the schedule for the competition. https://www.facebook.com/278297478966597/posts/1653612854768379/

My live stream is unbearable. It gets frozen every now and then.
