The first category is the noble nation. Different from grand prix finals and international competitions, no matter whether it is the four continents of the European Championship or the Olympic Games, no matter how rich a country's skating and talent pool is, only three athletes (teams) can qualify for each event at most. If they don't perform well in the last World Championships, the numbers will be smaller. A large number of excellent athletes are fully capable of winning the ideal position in the Olympic Games, so they entered the domestic trials. This is the case for most of the names listed in the topic. There are many regrets in Japanese and Russian women's singles. On this basis, Max Aaron, jason brown and Ashley Wagner in the American men's singles were added. Second, injuries occur at critical moments of the season. For example, Anna Pogoriaya, a Russian women's singles player, suffered a back injury from the end of last season to this season. Withdrawing from the Russian championship is basically equivalent to withdrawing from the competition for Olympic seats. Maxim kovtun of men's singles has also been injured this season. The only record of this tournament is that both American and Russian championships were injured and dropped out of the competition because of their poor performance in sprint events. Nikita Kasarov/Vika Sinnitzner, this ice dance troupe won the third place in the United States this season and created PB (their FD ranked first among my five favorite programs this season). Nikita hurt her ankle in a weightlifting competition, so she dropped out of the Russian free dance championship. If the definition of injury is broader, it can also include gracle gold who missed the season for psychological reasons. Just as they are all in rich countries, their past achievements are not enough for them to have a place to escort them. Although they have the strength to make a difference in the Olympic Games, they are also injured. The third kind of people are too young. This mainly includes a group of talented girls from Russia and Japan, who cannot participate in international competitions because they have not reached the minimum entrance threshold of 15 years old. Alena Kostokos Nya, who finished third in the Russian Championship, Sasha terroso Eva, who defeated Alena in the Russian Youth Championship, and Ji Pinghua, who is a full-time army, can all fall into this category. But in fact, after careful calculation, three places in Russia are Russian champions and runners-up, while Zhenya missed the Russian championship due to injury, and two places in Japan are full-time champions and runners-up. The reasons why these athletes are absent from the Olympic Games are reasonable in the first category. The only exception is Sasha. Because there is an age limit in this year's Russian Championship, you have to 14 to participate, but I don't think Sasha is likely to win Sotzkova. The fourth category is non-competitive reasons. I think what really makes people laugh is the players. One of them is Alexander Maggiorloff of Sweden, who slipped 225.86 points in the European Championship, ranking seventh, far exceeding the threshold of the Olympic Games. However, because the Swedish Olympic Committee's standards for athletes are stricter than those of the International Organization for Standardization (ISU) (if there is nothing wrong, more than 250 points), he refused. Don't sign him up He was replaced by Michael Martinez of the Philippines. However, it did have an impact on the Olympic skating medals. The athletes who lost the competition for non-competitive reasons in Pyeongchang Olympic Games naturally felt guilty for the combination of two Russian athletes who did not receive the invitation from the Olympic Committee. Ivan Bukin (female companion Sasha Stepan Nova) and Kosenia Stolpova (male companion Fedo kerimov) are dancing on the ice. Both of them won the second place in each event in this season's Russian championship. Even though they may not win the Olympic gold medal in individual events, they have the strength to help Russia win the gold medal in team events. Whether other Russian events systematically use illegal drugs in Sochi Winter Olympics is beyond the scope of this article. This paper needs to explain two facts: First, the Russian skating team in Sochi Winter Olympics in 20 14 was innocent (Adrijana Sotnikova was investigated, and then the World Anti-Doping Organization confirmed her innocence). Due to the punishment of the International Olympic Committee, Russian athletes must be invited by the International Olympic Committee to participate in the Olympic Games after promotion. Secondly, all Russian ice skaters who applied to participate in the 20 18 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, including Ivan and Kesenia, were innocent in all professional competitions (Katia Popolo was once banned, but was disqualified by a successful athlete).
