German Skating News - Season 2021/2022

[Jeschke]

Great senior debut by Roscher/Schuster in Warsaw
As mentioned in pbp, I am getting some early-Hase-Seegert-vibes of them.
She grew a lot but seems finally get it together a bit better
54.78pts, 31pts TES, Euros minimums

I really wonder, what will happen if Efimova is released. (E/B are entered for nationals, so )

Good outings by all 3 german ladies - nice to see them all somehow get their act to getter more or less.

Schott on good way. 4th place in that field - and more important: 109pts FS missing for NOC standards that sounds promising!

SP-wise Schott beats Fentz in Warsaw in TES and overall

Fentz' 3A was a beauty, have the impression he's coming back, slowly

Saw that he landed a Quad Toe in Warm Up, also a beautyful one.
Please correct me if i was wrong. It was in the left corner little bit far away.

that we finally see Efimova/Blommaert!!

I prayed for this too but I'm not shure this will be gonna happen.
There is something about her *****vaccination. She missed it so far.

 

[Panja]

Yay! Paul Fentz had the 6th best FS at Warsaw Cup. After his rather bad SP yesterday, this must have felt wonderful for him.

Fentz needs to be praying that Schott scores at least 172 again tomorrow so that Germany sends a man for the Team Event SP.

Congrats to Roscher/Schuster having earned Euros minimums
I really like their overall progress - still a bit unsure with her solo jumps and the 2nd throw, but I am pleased no one is rushing things here.
Lifts look solid, Schuster is a mini-hulk!

As mentioned before, it would be a great experience for them, but their entire team has to set them up the right way entering a senior champs, so they can profit from the entire experience more than maybe being disapppointed.

Haven't they earned Worlds minimum, too?

 

[Jeschke]

Haven't they earned Worlds minimum, too?

I did not even check as this seemed pretty much non relevant in reality for them
But if so, great for them

 

[Jeschke]

Da Schott!

#TeamD Qualification Race Euros/Olympics
Standings heading into Nationals

---
NOC standards achieved:
Schott:
Hase/Seegert:
Hocke/Kunkel: 1/2
Müller/Dieck:
Janse van Rensburg/Steffan: 1/2
---
Isaev's CS POL score most likely won't count (not that it does matter towards sub status), because she already had 3 CS assigne and got POL as sub for Suleymanova.
---
In the end only 3 skaters/teams got the NOC standards, so obviously the right ones will be chosen for Beijing.
Fentz might get a nice farewell for his long career there.

 

[Kelvster]

yes, it would be nice to see Paul Fentz having a nice farewell in Beijing.
He did squeak into the final 24 in Pyeongchang I recall. So he's been an Olympic finalist before already. It's already a big accomplishment

Do we expect Dastich ever coming back? Such a long route for her

As someone has mentioned before Efimova is not vaccinated, so at this moment not allowed to compete in most (probably all) parts of Germany. Interesting though that she is allowed to practice though. The same rules apply to practice rinks at least in Bavaria and Berlin, where she is training.

Thanks, never heard of that before. Makes sense.

Until yesterday Efimova could train in Berlin, negative test was enough. Now you need an exemption, if you neither vaccinated or recovered from YKW

Indoor sports isn't allowed for unvaccinated adults for at least a week now in Berlin , Bavaria probably a week earlier. Even a negative test does not help you to get in. The rules are pretty clear. New rules from today on only enforce you to wear a mask additionally or to keep more distance.

I heard that she is vaccinated (J&J), not sure that is true though. They might compete unlisted maybe (because of the release issue), otherwise I have no idea what is going on.

 

[Sera]

Efimova/Blommaert are now on the entry list.

 

[Andrea82]

Does anybody (with a realistic chance) still need the minimum score required by DOSB?
I see they have a British technical specialist and 1 Dutch and 1 Italian judge currently listed in next week's Single and Pair panels. And 1 Dutch specialist and Slovakian, Finnish, Italian judges for Dance.
But I don't remember how many international judges were needed to make Nationals scores count for DOSB.

I also notice that they put Caruso in the Dance panels....

No surprise here. This is Doucheland after all where they still allow Fajfr to coach young girls and boys and where the federation has always supported abusers and predators (e.g. Dönsdorf).

Wasn’t Dönsdorf cleared of charges?

Hocke/Kunkel and Janse van Rensburg/Steffan have only 50% met the criteria for now.
But let's face it, both teams have no realistic chance making it.

In the end, 3 skaters/teams only met the criteria - one in each discipline. They deserved their ticket.

True. So, what do you expect to happen for the Men and the Team Event? Winner/highest-ranked man with a German passport submitted to the German NOC for consideration?

There should be no other option than Fentz unless another dude (with passport) wins nationals in stellar manner.

"Cleared of charges" doesn't mean "innocent", which he clearly is not. He just was backed by the entire federation, same with Fajfr after the latest allegations. That's it.

Thanks.

It seems indeed a foregone conclusion without any drama left for Nationals.

No other women is at Schott's level.
At the beginning of the season, I had hopes for a competitive fight in pairs. But clearly H/K had a rough season.
As for Dance, I always got the impression that JvR/S could beat Muller/Dieck on occasions but over a long period, M/D would prevail in the majority of times.

That’s absolutely right but I must have missed the memo on all of the evidence of him not being innocent. Is there a thread on that? Fajfr absolutely should have been removed ages ago and the evidence available publicly was pretty clear. I just haven’t seen (or missed) similar evidence on Dönsdorf.
