Best of luck to Gjersem and Rajicova skating their best and punching their tickets for Sochi.
Gjersem was very tense and didn't skate anywhere near as well as she's capable of.
Sport 2 commentators - Between the guy with the annoying high pitch (who is completely clueless, talks pointless crap all the time and loves the sound of his own voice) and Vasiliev (who has hardly anything interesting to say), murder is the only answer.
Rajicova: Was that ("Ray-cova") actually the right way to pronounce her name? I thought it was more "ra-dgi-cova"?
I thought ra-dgi-cova... but you can never count on german commentators when it comes to pronounce words...
Rayitchova.She's Slovakian, not American. Well she is both.
But in Slovakian, you would pronounce it Ra-YI-co-va.
The German stream (Geoblocked) won't start until 18:45 :disapp:
McCorkell bombed quite badly
She should have packed it in years ago.
This is surely her last year. Has she qualified for the Olympics?
Yes She qualified her spot for the Olympics at worlds last year, Sad to see her skate so poorly here as she has been skating rather well this season
(Jenna) I for sure wouldn't have done so if I loved to skate and had a chance to be an olympian again :yay:
ooh... Weiss is asking Hecken for her prediction:
she hopes Caro wins, also because she knows her well and she's so nice, but she believes Sotnikova will win.

Both Gjersem and Rajicova making a strong case not to be sent to Olympics, I'm afraid.
Two messy performances.
