Thanks, Chris. Good to know.

Thanks, Chris. Good to know.

This may be a case of, "Charlie Brown, I will hold the football and you kick it" but it looks like Peacock is attempting to make finding our events a bit easier....lets hope so. But just in case, I will use the bookmark feature at this point.

I did too or at least I think I did.

 

[pearly]

Karen Chen and Vincent Zhou are on their way to Beijing. Make of it what you will (and check out their IG - Karen's stories are very cool. Excited for her!).

Edit: It seems Madison and Zach are on their way as well. I really hope to see Madi and Evan on their way soon as well. :/

 

[Skater Boy]

things are getting exciting and tilting to a USA gold. But you never know Japan and Russia wont give up easily andwho knows about China. They are the home country so they could podium too. Who would ever thought Cnda would be barely in the picture.

 

[pearly]

I don't see the USA as an obvious candidate for gold here. A likely silver, but they would need things to go wrong for other skaters in certain events in order to get the gold. Anything can happen, but I think too many unlikely things would need to happen at once so I'd still predict Russia gets gold.

Just saw this on sports.ru. I was going to post it in the RD thread but it's not open for replies yet so posting it here. Looks like the JPN judge has COVID so the RUS judge is substituting. I don't speak russian so I put the Google translate below: https://www.sports.ru/figure-skatin...-na-sorevnovaniyax-v-tanczax-na-ldu-na-k.html

TRANSLATION
The Russian judge will work at ice dancing competitions at the team tournament of the 2022 Olympics in Beijing.

Initially, Russian judges were not nominated for a team tournament, but got a place in the dancer competition after the Japanese judge withdrew due to coronavirus.

Initially, Russian judges were not nominated for a team tournament, but got a place in the dancer competition after the Japanese judge withdrew due to coronavirus.

There have been 2 changes compared to original judges' draw for Team Event.

One is the one referred above. Japan informed ISU about the situation during 4 Continents. During 4CCs, they held a draw between countries with ID judge in the individual event but not drawn for Team Event (Russia, Ukraine, Great Britain and China). Russia won the draw.

The other change is that Czech Republic Federation gave up their judging spot in the Pairs panel. Their Pair judge was drawn to judge also Pair in Team Event and Ladies in the Team Event.
During Europeans, they held a draw to fill those spots. USA will be in the Pair Team Event panel and Canada in the Women Team Event Panel.

Full draw is here:

Is it still not decided who Russia is putting forward for each portion of the competition?

We're not going to know until the official submissions are made the day before the competition starts.

They may have made decisions internally, but between the pandemic in general, and their rather, lets call it unique, approach to said pandemic, I doubt anything is being written in ink at this point. At least not until they everyone gets thru arrival testing.

[pearly]

I have a feeling:

Russia
Valieva & Scherbakova
SinKats
Mishina/Galiamov & Tarasova/Morozov
Mark.

I wish it was Stepanova and Bukin sharing the dance, though.

USA

Karen
Chock/Bates & Hubbel/Donohue
Alexa/Brendan
Nathan & Vincent.

Japan

I hope it's gonna be Kaori & Wakaba, Yuzu & Yuma.

 

[ucrgirl]

I'm American and I am routing for team USA to do well, but I also like team Japan and I'm rooting for Hanyu to skate lights out and lead the team to silver. (Maybe this can be his Olympic moment and then Nathan can have his moment in the individual event?)

I think the US team should be:
Nathan (sp) Vincent (Free)
Cain and LeDuc (It's close but they did well at Nationals)
Chock and Bates (RD) and Madison and Zach (FD)
Mariah Bell (she's national champ and her scores are trending up this season)

 

[Ivana]

I have a feeling:

Russia
Valieva & Scherbakova
SinKats
Mishina/Galiamov & Tarasova/Morozov
Mark.

I wish it was Stepanova and Bukin sharing the dance, though.

I have a feeling Russia won't split pairs after all and M&G will do both segments, they do want the gold medal and need those points from pairs. I can see Russia spliting women and leave the second possibility to split for men, in case Mark messes up SP. I wish S&B, got to do the team event too, but it's highly unlikely, unless they want to give rest to S&K for whatever reason.

 

[dorispulaski]

Nikita's back is iffy. The Fed may well decide to have him skip the FD and rest it. I would. Let Stepanova and Bukin have the FD

If I were the Russians, I would have Valieva do both to completely assure winning both segments.

Mishina & Galliamov do both. Same reason. I wish they would let Tarasova & Morosov do one or the other, but unless China does not make it out of the short programs, I would not do it were I them.

And Kondratiuk to do both.

There are pros and cons to every approach for Russia. Ultimately, Russia will lose to the men and it will be very close between ice dance pairs. Don't think they will want to risk it so much.

For women it doesn't matter since they are so dominant in that aspect. The other 3 disciplines, it seems to be a gamble.

 

[Mista Ekko]

The 2 riskiest events of the competition would be the SPs of Pairs and Men

Those are the ones where if a contestant from Russia\Japan\USA slips up, They could end up losing 5-6 points,
There are a bunch of Pairs who can score mid to high 60s, And a bunch of men who can crack 90

I think the only way Russia could lose the Gold is if their man is buried in the SP
Though they should probably play their hand correctly in Ice Dance too.

I don't know about Pairs. The components and levels are worth so much and there is so much distance down to the lower tier teams that for the top teams they could have a disaster and they're still not finishing lower than 4th or 5th.

It's really mens and ladies where things can go off the rails in the short
