Finally Hocke/Kunkel got their second GP assignment.

Uh, I've only picked top-3 (because I've thought there are only 3 vacant spots). But at least I knew who will go. Fourth spot ist reserve I guess.

... and Russian?

How many citizenships has she got already?

I think he was the first pick before JGP. Rightly so, because he has the highest potential to score high enough.

So B/G will get a second GP assignement before the pairs that have better world standing and better SB? I don't get it.

Does that mean BecGuar need to get a minimum score first to get onto the alternates list?

Besides Metelkina/ Berulava the Swiss pair and the Ukrainians are medal contenders too. Maybe you could add them as well.

I must say I don't care much about the single jumps in pairs. A great throw, a beautiful lift or ds or a high twist and the overall skating as a team is what makes this diszipline special to me. At the moment Izzo/ Mayerhofer don't really impress me as a pair, rather than as of two good single...
