Pair Skating:
In the competitions listed in the attached list, achieving a score of 184 points or achieving 171 points twice.
Ice Dance:
In the competitions listed in the attached list, achieving a score of 189 points or achieving 178 points twice.

Competitions are:
Grand Prix
Challenger Series
Beijing qualifier
German Championships 2026 with the participation of at least three foreign judges and one foreign Technical Controller or Technical Specialist.

So...
Hase/Volodin have already got the score at Nebelhorn Trophy.
Hocke/Kunkel got 180 at Nebelhorn. So they only need another 171 score.
Janse van Rensburg/Steffan also got the B score at Nebelhorn (180.05). So they need to repeat it again one more.

Does the US have standards like this for their pairs teams?

Does the US have standards like this for their pairs teams?

No, the USFS does not have any score minimum ls for any discipline. If we have the spots, they will be filled.

There is very little worry that the US teams would be able to achieve whatever minimum the USOPC wanted to establish seeing as we have 3 teams who were all in last season's SB Top 24 that are Olympic eligible already (KamO, ChanHowe & ShiNagy).

Update on DanTsi - Michel sustained a shoulder injury and have withdrawn from the FS at Trialeti Trophy. The Dutch OC and their fed have agreed that Trialeti won't count as one of their two attempts to earn the required score and they'll still have two opportunities - NHK and, now, Golden Spin.
