2023 Four Continents Potential/Real Entries

[haribobo]

Any ideas on who China will send?

Australia has qualifying scores for Darian Kaptich for Men, the 2 pairs (G/G-M and C/W), and 2 dance teams (H/C and N/W)

Korea named their team as-

MEN
Junhwan CHA
Sihyeong LEE
Jaeseok KYEONG

WOMEN
Chaeyeon KIM
Haein LEE
Yelim KIM

 

[Gris]

Potential Chinese entries:

Men: Boyang Jin (if he recovers), Yudong Chen

Women: Yi Zhu (if she recovers), Shan Lin also has the MTS for 4CC but it's unclear if she's still skating

Pairs: Cheng Peng / Yang Jin (if they recover), Huidi Wang / Ziqi Jia (if they get the MTS at Golden Spin), Siyang Zhang / Yongchao Yang (if they get the MTS at Golden Spin - I don't think their score at 2021 Asian Open would count as there were only Chinese pairs. Please correct me if I'm wrong)

Dance: Shiyue Wang / Xinyu Liu, Xizi Chen / Jianing Xing, Xuantong Li / Xinkang Wang

[RoseRed]

@Karen-W I think you left out Harris/Chan and Nette/Westwood for dance

 

[haribobo]

Rose, they were mentioned (by initial) in original post

 

[Gris]

CHN - Yudong Chen (if he doesn't blow the SP like he did at his JGP, this should be a cakewalk)

Yudong already has the MTS set for 4CC. Currently he lacks SP MTS for Junior Worlds and FS MTS for Senior Worlds.

Whoops. I didn't realize he got them at the Italian GP last season. I'll edit.

Oh yes, of course

 

[kwanfan1818]

I don't think their score at 2021 Asian Open would count as there were only Chinese pairs. Please correct me if I'm wrong)

They don't. There have to be at least two participants from two different members, at least through official withdrawl ("WD" on the protocols) to be a valid international competition to be able to qualify for TES minimums.

Only Sui/Han and Peng/Jin are listed on the TES minimums list for Senior Pairs, which counts the current and previous season's results:

Vlada Vasiliev got the 4CCs SP min at Asian Open today, so she's now qualified!

Hard to say - lots of skaters still going for TES mins this coming week at Asian Open & Golden Spin, plus there are two last chances for TES mins - Edusport Trophy Jan 11-15 (singles only) & World University Games Jan 13-15 (singles & dance).

MAS - Kai Xiang Chew (hasn't competed internationally since 2018 - did 2 JGPs that season)

Whelp, the only skaters to get the SP TES min today were - Yudong Chen CHN, Lap Kan Yuen HKG, and Kai Xiang Chew MAS. All three still need the FS min.

Pairs
CAN - Pereira/Michaud (international debut - should easily reach mins)
CHN - Wang/Jia, Zhang/Yang

And FS mins achieved by all of the skaters & teams listed above!

Presuming that China sends all 3 teams to 4CCs and that Gamez/Korovin aren't too injured and that Chernyshova/Windsor are in some competitive form to make it to Colorado Springs in 2 months, we will have a Pairs field of 13 teams!

AUS - GoluGM, CherWin
CAN - 3 teams (likely SDDes, PerMich & McInMim)
CHN - PengJin, ZhaYa, WangJia
JPN - MiuKih
PHI - GamKor
USA - 3 teams (likely ChanHowe, SmirSiia & KamOShea since KniFraz are booked for Art on Ice that week)

The Dance field also seems to be finalizing with 15 teams (Guise/Alday missed the RD min this morning at Golden Spin).

AUS - HarChan, NetWest
CAN - GilPoir, FBSoer, LajLag
CHN - WangLiu, ChenXing, LiWang
JPN - KanaDai, KoKo
KAZ - NaurDat
NZL - LFKam
USA - ChoBat, HawBak, and either GreenP or CarPon whichever wins bronze at US Nats

There are still three competitions for singles skaters to earn TES mins (Latvia Trophy - next weekend, Edusport Trophy and World University Games - both 2nd weekend of Jan), so those fields aren't certain yet. My math says somewhere between 24-28 men, and somewhere between 19-23 women (unless the ISU revisits the women's TES mins this month).

No CND pair substitutes???

Tilda ALTERYD / Gabriel FARAND missed the FS minimum by less than 2 points at Warsaw Cup.

McIntosh/Mimar reportedly declined 4CC (see latest post in the Canadian Pairs news thread).

Are Peng/Jin injured or finished? I miss my penguins it’s been so long my phone doesn’t auto correct to that anymore!
