[Skate Talker]

Thanks so much to all who contribute to compiling these lists. I find it very very useful - and thanks for adding in the info on those still with a chance at 4CC.

Thank you very much, vexlak! I've added them into the Ladies' list.

There are still some internationals before Worlds in which skaters can earn the missing minimums, in addition to 4C's:

This weekend: The Nordics, Junior and Senior Ladies and Men

• 7-10 Feb: Bavarian Open, Junior and Senior Ladies, Men, Pairs, and Dance -- last for Dance and Junior Pairs
• 7-10 Feb: Dragon Trophy and Tivoli Cup, Junior and Senior Ladies and Men
• 13-16 Feb: Hellmut Siebt Memorial, Junior and Senior Ladies and Men
• 17-22 Feb: European Youth Olympics, Junior Ladies and Men -- last for Junior Ladies and Men before Jr. Worlds
• 21-24 Feb: Challenge Cup, Senior Ladies, Men, Pair -- last for Senior Ladies, Men, Pairs.

Then Worlds:

• 25 Feb-3 Mar: Jr. Worlds -- last chance to get minimums for Worlds
• 10-17 Mar: Worlds

[LKR]

Is there any chance that the ISU would lower the minimums for Worlds for certain disciplines (I'm really thinking pairs) if more teams don't meet them before then? Because a pairs field of 14 teams is awfully small..

[kwanfan1818]

There are no Pairs who have the existing SP, but not the FS score. The following teams have the FS score, but not the SP (28) score, and there are spots available from their countries:

GBR Kemp/King- 51.22 Euros 2012
ITA Della Monica/Guarise- 49.35 Cup of Nice 2012
PRK RI Ji Hyang / THAE Won Hyok 47.59 WC Prelims 2012
UKR LAVRENTIEVA, Julia / RUDYK, Yuri 45.30 Euros 2012

I don't have any scores from last season. The highest SP scores they have from this season are:

Kemp/King: 25.24 from Euros
Della Monica/Guarise: 27.21 from Rostelecom Cup
Ri/Thae: Nothing from this season.
Lavrentieva/Rudyk: 21.53 from Cup of Nice.

For countries that still have open spots , and where the couples are still together AFAIK -- but I haven't looked up ages for eligibility -- the strongest scores this season came from:

BUL Elizaveta MAKAROVA / Leri KENCHADZE FS= 43.06 (Euros) SP= 24.33 (Nesquick Cup)
AZE Angelina EKATERININA / Philipp TARASOV FS=41.51 (NRW) SP=19.49 (JGP Chemnitz)
AUT Stina MARTINI / Severin KIEFER FS=40.3 (Ice Challenge) SP=21.22 (Euros)
POL Marcelina LECH / Jakub TYC FS=40.18 (Nesquick Cup) SP=21.5 (Warsaw)

------------ Euro Qualifying Score FS = 36 -----------
BLR Mariya PALYAKOVA / Nikita BOCHKOV FS=35.98 (Nesquick Cup SP=22.13 (Nesquick Cup)
SWE Ronja ROLL / Gustav FORSGREN FS = 35.22 (NRW Trophy) SP= 17.83 (Nebelhorn)
PRK Kyong Mi KANG / Ju Sik KIM FS = 34.12 (JGP Chemnitz) SP=21.94 (JGP Chemnitz)
NED Rachel EPSTEIN / Dmitry EPSTEIN FS = 32.53 (NRW Trophy) SP=15.67 (NRW Trophy)

There may be higher numbers from last season. With these numbers, if they went to 43 for the FS and 24 for the SP, they'd add Kemp/King, Della Monica/Guarise, and Makarova/Kenchadze.

If I am looking at that chart correctly it looks like there will be only 7 countries represented and a meager total of 14 teams for Pairs at Worlds as of right now.

[DaveRocks]

I have a hunch that they'll lower the required SP TES for the pairs.

[kwanfan1818]

Yikes, and Italy only earned one spot, not two, because B/H were 11th last year, so no Della Monica/Guarise in any case.

[SamuraiK]

Italy has 2 spots in Pairs.
B/H were 11th + DM/G 15th = 26 points, enough for a second spot at 2013 worlds.

[kwanfan1818]

I skipped right by D-M/G on the Worlds results list about five times...

[kwanfan1818]

Sylvia noted in a the 4C's Entries thread that Isadora Williams, BRA, has withdrawn. Unless she's planning to attend a Senior B, she won't have both qualifying scores for Worlds. (It's too late to edit the revised lists, which I'll re-post with updates after 4C's.)

[kwanfan1818]

I jumped the gun: Isadora Williams is expected to be at Jr. worlds, where she could earn the TES minimum she needs.

[Hanna]

Anita Madsen from Denmark just made the FS minimum at the Nordics, with a TES of 49.66. http://skautasamband.is/images/Nordi...tml/SEG018.HTM

[Kelvster]

Oh wow , thanks. Does Anita have the sp score? I don't assume so... Yikes! This world championships is sooooooo important coz skaters like Anita need to compete there to fight for the Olympic spots!!! Leaving it till nelbelhorn is too difficult very often !!

[YukiNieve]

So they lowered the minimum sore requirements - as expected, I guess.

finally, well it really was to high

[kwanfan1818]

Of course they started too high for Worlds, at least for three of the four disciplines: too low would have meant that either the SP fields were higher than they could afford, or, they would have had to increase the scores, and skaters who thought they had a spot would no longer qualify.

[Sylvia]

SKATERS WHO HAVE REACHED THE LP SCORE (45 revised to 41) BUT STILL NEED THE SP SCORE (revised to 24)

CHN Wang/Zhang 51.83 COC -- competing at 4C's

USA Zhang/Bartholomay- 48.14 Salt Lake B 2012 -- competing at 4C's

Both pairs have attained the minimum TES in the SP at 4CC (Z/B 29.60 and W/Z 28.87). Zhang/Bartholomay are currently 2nd alternates to Worlds.

[kwanfan1818]

Both Wang/Zhang and Zhang/Bartholomay made the original, higher TES minimums at 4C's

[danafan]

Michael Christian Martinez (PHI) got 36.05 TES at 4CC - even beating the old minimum!
