Do we know that RD skate order will definitely be reverse order of world standings? The Olys usually have different rules than GPs.ISU World Standings are updated after Euros, so we have our complete last group for the rhythm dance. Sinitsina/Katsalapov will be skating last.

When will we know who the Tech Specialist panel is for the Olympics?? I feel like 4 years ago we already know who those 3 people are well in advance.

Many ice dance fans on FSU consider Mr. Dostatni (and Judy Blumberg) to be among the toughest technical specialists in the field. A skater will not benefit from an unclear edge. If the team earns a level 4 from Mr. Dostatni, they earned it!I’ve seen the name Dostatni come up a lot in the dance fora, but have never been able to fully grasp from the context what his deal is. Would any kind dance experts be good enough to give me the scoop? I’d be interested to know the reputations of the other officials listed there too, if you’re so inclined. TIA.
Hmm, that's not what immediately comes to mind when I think of Dostatni. I remember him being very favorable to Shpilband teams. But perhaps that has since changed?Many ice dance fans on FSU consider Mr. Dostatni (and Judy Blumberg) to be among the toughest technical specialists in the field.

That was what came to mind for me too—at least in the past, he was partial to Shpilband’s teams.Hmm, that's not what immediately comes to mind when I think of Dostatni. I remember him being very favorable to Shpilband teams. But perhaps that has since changed?
The referee at the Olympics will be Mr. Mika Saarelainen from FIN, if it has anything to do with anything.
I believe the technical panel for the Olympics is Poltorak, Elek, and Higashino. It's not published anywhere; just what I've heard.So far, I only know that the referee will be Mika Saarelainen (Finland) because he mentioned it in a recent interview.

Yes, the exact same team if it stays as is.Basically the same of Sochi 2014
Dostatni looked over Belbin's jumped turns for years, but always found a way to scrutinize Delobel & Schoenfelder into Level 1 steps. I don't see him as tough. Like @sap5 and @aka_gerbil , when I think of Dostatni, I think of a caller playing favorites with the teams of his friends.Many ice dance fans on FSU consider Mr. Dostatni (and Judy Blumberg) to be among the toughest technical specialists in the field.

So, er, “pro-Russian?”I believe the technical panel for the Olympics is Poltorak, Elek, and Higashino. It's not published anywhere; just what I've heard.
It hasn't in the last two Olympics (the ones with team events).Does the tech panel change between the TE and the Ice Dance competitions?
Turkkila/ Versluis can't get a break. They are out of Europeans. Turkilla got ********* at the end of December. PCR tests still shows her positive.
They are back at training though.

Hey, watch it. Those Zamboni drivers know how to follow a pattern.However, it seems even the Zamboni would have received a good score at the Bavarian Open.
A few interesting points for those who don't want to watch:Haven't seen this posted anywhere and I know they aren't popular but....
TSL did an interview with Olivia Smart where she talks about everything from her partnership with Diaz, the relationship between Hurtado/Diaz, her thoughts on Zhulin, the Maddie Hubbell Olympic ice show quotes that ruffled a few fan feathers, and even talks a little about Tiffany Zahorski and Olivia's tryout with her former partner. That was interesting for sure
Olivia comes across as incredibly forthcoming and it's a lot less DL and more Olivia just naturally talking about her experiences. Definitely worth a watch IMO
