I’m emotional attached to all three top Canadian men and don’t even want to think of one of them, or possibly two, not going to Olympics.
Suppose it is good for sport that they have to complete with each other to earn that ticket but I want all three there!

What I’ve seen of Roman over the past year has really impressed me, especially his speed and edge quality. Nam has worked so hard to regain his former glory, and Keegan, well, I think we all love him for a hundred reasons.

From IFS Magazine via Twitter:
U.S. Figure Skating announced today that Alysa Liu and Vincent Zhou have been selected to compete for the two Olympic berths at 2021 Nebelhorn Trophy.
They will be attempting to confirm/earn a third spot for the USA in the events for Women & Men at the 2022 Olympics. As I understand it, Liu will have to finish among top six Women of the countries eligible to gain an Olympic spot at Nebelhorn; Zhou will need to finish among top seven Men.

There were some technical problems with the live stream and we missed the first 2 skaters in the Men's SP.

There is commentary in English for the Men and Women by Nico Ulanovsky, a former German skater, now a coach in Oberstdorf. There is a different commentator for the pairs and ice dance - a German junior ice dancer, Michail Savitskiy, who admitted on Thursday that he didn't know that much about pairs! :o In fact, I think he bailed out of doing the commentary for the Pairs FS today and Niko stepped in part way through the event.

Two of the disciplines completed their competitions today and medals were awarded at the end of another long day - Pairs and Men.

If you don't want to know how things turned out, especially with respect to the available Olympic spots, don't go any further....
