Since we have updated entries...
He was improving but I don't think he's progressed much in the last season and a half or so (may or may not be due to CV restrictions/lockdowns/whatever). I know that Demirboga shared the protocols on his story from the event the Federation held to decide who would be the Nebelhorn Olympic qualifying entrant, and neither score was really impressive IIRC.Basar Oktar has been getting better and better lately. I wouldn't count him out!
Oktar scored 188 - I posted the skate-off scores here (shared via the fed's Instagram post): https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...es-pairs-ice-dance.108202/page-5#post-6049415... the event the [Turkish] Federation held to decide who would be the Nebelhorn Olympic qualifying entrant, and neither score was really impressive IIRC.
He'd need others to falter, yeah. But his PB's 202, only about 15 points below, eg, Zandron, and few of this lot are consistent.He was improving but I don't think he's progressed much in the last season and a half or so (may or may not be due to CV restrictions/lockdowns/whatever).

Likely...actually, what will absolutely happen is that Demirboga will beat him and come top 7, but it won't count.
2 words: Shin AmanoBumping this up after the SP -
1. Zhou - Fantastic. Thought the score was a little low considering the content
Isn't it assumed that Keegan would be the lone entry anyway?Good luck to Roman in the FP. If he doesn't confirm the 2nd spot, I doubt SC will send him to the Olympics as the lone entry, even if he has a good GP circuit and handily wins Canadians. So IMO this is definitely the most pressure-filled event of his career so far.
I'd say he's the favourite, but not a lock. If Nam were to win Canadians, and doesn't tank on the GP circuit, he'd probably get sent. Same with Roman (if he doesn't perform badly in the LP here)Isn't it assumed that Keegan would be the lone entry anyway?
I'm actually a bit encouraged. Having two "Qs" from Amano this early in the season is a pretty good sign for Zhou. Zhou used to get some > or even >> early in the season (though not as much as his detractors think) and he cleans them up later. He's escaping Mao Asada/Mirai Nagasu/Ashley Wagner territory by not getting any > for his jumps. The fact that he scored as high as he did with the "Q"s shows he's totally in the medal hunt if his jumps get called fully-rotated.2 words: Shin Amano

So true!Gosh, Asada, Nagasu, and Wagner may have had really different career trajectories if the "Q" was a thing during their careers...
