Every thread here is turning into a huge discussion on ----- and hang wringing over -------. When there were no events, everyone was complaining how there was no skating. Now there are events, and people are complaining they should be cancelled. This has been going on in every thread, when Russia held nationals, now US and Canadian nationals, Olympics etc. They are athletes and for the most part will recover just fine. Last year, the Russian skaters and the coaches were catching and recovering from the more severe variant. Even Mishin survived *********, yet people still want to put skaters in a bubble. No one is making you or anyone attend nationals but for those who are, how long should anyone sit in a bubble? It's been almost 2 years and people can't even get a break after being vaccinated.

You really are being triggered. People will have opinions. Relax

does this not mean that the entire women's field has been exposed? They may not have a single woman to send to the Olympics at this rate...

I mean most of them didn't have mins anyway. Surely they can scrape together a team of three who will manage to test negative in time to go?? Or maybe not.

:rolleyes:

1) no - Alysa Liu skated with Glenn, Harrell, Venetta, and Levito on the practices; Glenn skated with Ikenishi, Venetta, Warne-Jacobsen, and Andrews this morning. Last night, Alysa shared a 6 min warm up with Izzo, Shin, Thorngren, Bell and Chen. Glenn shared a 6 min warm up with Andrews, Gold, Wang, and Levito. So, Jill Heiner hasn't been exposed, lol.

2) just because they were exposed doesn't mean they will get the crud or test positive - in addition, they have plenty of time to get over it if they do and, hopefully, test negative for Beijing. At this point, I'd be more concerned about being unable to field a full team for 4CCs while making sure the 3 Olympians as well as at least the 1st alternate remain safe.

Don't worry Cpom aren't Olympics eligible anyway they will carry 4CCs for the US

Oh no! Isn't this not a sign? 4CC and ECs should be without spectators if held at all?

I guess because obviously those people been hanging around with the spectator?


Spectators are not your problem people

I think you should be sure to make sure you can create as much drama as possible

And you know what, they may wind up catching it when they arrive in Beijing. It's not as if this hadn't originated in China.

Bringing it back on topic, I hope Mariah doesn't test positive and let the thought of a title throw her off.

Sounds like one of those word problems they used to torture us with in math class.
 
I don't see the point of Nationals when it seems like these (Olympic) spots were decided in advance anyway. Why risk it?

There's 0 case in Beijing and entry into Beijing from anywhere in China requires a negative test within 48 hours + phone-data-verified proof that one has not traveled to any county with 1 or more local cases in the 14 days up to entry date. PCR tests are limitless across hospitals major and small for local residents. All international arrivals are sent to quarantine hotels straight from the airport for a 3-week quarantine period regardless of test results.

As for the Games, all athletes and coaches will enter the closed-loop bubble the second they clear border control after being tested upon arrival. If you mean they might catch the virus on their flight here, I agree that's a much higher possibility.

Amber Glenn for Olympic alternate spot? I know she bombed the SP, but that was because she was skating while sick. She did have some decent international scores at a few competitions, so she would in "Group 4" consideration.

I'm really curious if USFS will name rank the alternates as 1st, 2nd or 3rd. I may have Amber as 2nd alternate behind Lindsay? Hmm.

‘There are not 0 cases in Beijing … it can’t be a surprise to anyone that they are lying.

Izzo with a 2.5 advantage over Thorngren on components? Really?
Click to expand...
I agree with that. The power of Glenn Close! Kidding aside, I think Thorngren has a lot to work on even to catch up to Izzo and although 2.5 sounds like a lot, in actuality, it was only like 0.20 more per component score which then gets multiplied by 1.6. Izzo was going to have a moment until she made her first out of two mistakes but Thorngren had a horrible skate throughout and was shaky.
 
Based on Body of Work stats, I'm now leaning towards:

1st alternate - Lindsay (median international scores 187.61 = top 10 in World)
2nd alternate - Amber (median international scores 183.46 = top 15 in World)
3rd alternate - Gabby (4th at Nationals with 188.11, but the scores are highly inflated at Nationals!)


As for Team Competition, they need a Test Skate for Alysa Liu. If she does well, I'd have Alysa do both SP and LP in Team Competition. Mariah's jump content may struggle to beat the top Canadian lady (Schizas) and also the top Georgia lady (Gubanova - who is originally from Russia and has multiple 3/3s).
