2026 Milano-Cortina Olympics - Figure Skating Qualification

I am waiting to see if Israel plans to change their men’s entry.
This weekend at Skate Detroit, the Senior men event was all Israel: Mark, Tamir, and Lev. Mark won convincingly by nearly 25 points and is showing some consistency with his 4S. I would not be surprised to see them switch to Mark.

It's a dilemma. Mark had a good FS but in the SP, he fell on the 4S and doubled the axel. Tamir has higher value elements but he's very inconsistent plus is prone to losing points on spins. Mark does have a PCS advantage, though...that could be worth a lot among the other contenders in Beijing.

The SP less of a dilemma at a competition where every skater qualifies for the free. The skater with the stronger PCS has a much better chance of rising with the FS if they have issues in the SP and an early start in the FS.

I saw the SP and FS in person. First time seeing any of the 3 live. Mark’s skating skills are above and beyond the others in my opinion. I also trust him most to come back the strongest from SP struggles.

I'd love the Swedish dance team to make it, but I'm not going to hold my breath. Majorov for Milan!

I will hold all my fingers crossed. I love that team.
Question is: Will the Swedish fed send them, if they earn a spot?

Are they the ones who practice in Oberstdorf Germany? If so I saw them in August and they were really good. They had the Sweedish team shirts but I wasn't sure about their names... they look different on tv
