I'm pretty sure they have two spots.
yes, 2 spots.
The recap of the Championships on Italian Skating Federation webpage pretty much confirms the selection for Pyeongchang.

That is a big team. Surely, they will go into the LP/FD part of the team event, there is so many good skaters... I'd love to see a surprise bronze medal for Italy !

Wow, that is a great contingent - looks like Italy will be well represented! And can I just say I am THRILLED for Giada Russo!
Unfortunately I'm sad for Ivan Righini. Matteo Rizzo was obviously the right choice since they only had one slot, but I've always had a soft spot for Ivan. A few years ago, he seemed to really be putting things together, but the past two seasons he's struggled more. I hope he'll have a chance to go to Euros and/or Worlds.

39. 64 PCS?
Ahhh, they should have gone for 40. I mean if you're throwing a party, then throw a party!
Good on her for landing the 3-3 though.
That's obviously super high PCS compared to what she'd get internationally, but it was totally deserved for a Nationals - she basically skated as well as she can skate, and upgraded her difficulty. And even then judges weren't +3's for everything (particularly her spins). The 4-triple FS getting 77 PCS though was crazy though (even with Nationals scoring).
After seeing Javier get 10.00s with a fall in both his SP and FS, I don't find Kostner getting almost perfect PCS for a clean SP that egregious.
Super excited that she's upgraded though, and has added her lutz again... makes her that much more of a podium contender. Would love to see her snag another Olympic medal 4 years after we thought she'd retire after Sochi.

Oh come on people. It's Christmas time. The judges are just in the Christmas spirit. This is a huge gift to Carolina in the spirit of giving and the SEason.39. 64 PCS?

To me it seemed like Rizzo has had an edge all season so not surprising it's holding. Got to wait for the FS though I doubt the order will change.
