Gracie still doesn't have the FS technical minimum so at this point USFS couldn't make that wager even if they wanted toGracie I think is not in the picture. Let's say she did a great nationals. Would USFS gamble a third 2024 spot on her?
I'm rooting for Audrey to make the worlds team, girl is godsend.

For that matter, Bradie doesn't have either minimum but has two more events to rectify this.
Bradie appears to be going for 7 triples in her freeskate, but perhaps she should scale back a bit.
Amber and Gracie are total wild cards in my view. If one of them has a great nationals, they'll be on the team (I think even Gracie, if she skates up to her potential at nationals), but I'd be a bit queasy if they
Well, it's in @Sylvia's post above. Gracie does have the 4CCs TES mins, though. So, theoretically, if she finishes top 3 at Nats, she could be sent to 4CCs and provisionally assigned to the Worlds team, contingent upon earning the Worlds FS TES min she lacks, similar to how Ilia was assigned to the Worlds team last year, contingent upon him earning the Worlds SP TES min at Challenge Cup in the Netherlands at the end of February.But I think @Karen-W said Gracie doesn’t have the minimums for worlds. Or someone said that
Bradie has been coping with an ankle injury, if I remember correctly. The only reason she came to Sheffield was that she had to compete in order to get the bye to US Nationals. This is clearly a rebuilding year for her. Based on her injury and lack of competitions, I don't see her on the podium at Nationals.Bradie's jumps didn't look at all ready at Sheffield, but she must be landing them reasonably in practice based on what she attempted.

The rest of the field is pretty wide open, which will make nationals exciting this year!

Yet. She does still have Espoo this week and Golden Spin in another 2.5 weeks. And, again, as would be the case with Gracie, if Bradie made top 3 at Nats, since she DOES have the 4CCs TES mins, she'd be named to the Worlds team contingent on her earning the Worlds TES mins.not sure if that’s the only reason, if she were to be on the world team she doesn’t have any minimums
After reading her Sheffield interview, it doesn't sound like she's in great condition. The injuries have taken a big toll. I feel bad for her. She definitely sounds determined, though.Bradie's jumps didn't look at all ready at Sheffield, but she must be landing them reasonably in practice based on what she attempted.
So, @Sylvia's unconfirmed info was correct and Karen opted to not use her bye.For anyone wondering about Karen Chen, she is NOT listed here:
Athletes Named to 2023 Toyota U.S. Figure Skating Championships Lineup - U.S. Figure Skating Fan Zone
U.S. Figure Skating today announced the 123 qualifiers who will compete at the 2023 Toyota U.S. Figure Skating Championships set for Jan. 23-29 in San Jose, California.usfigureskatingfanzone.com
And there are 19 women in the Junior event, so her appeal did not affect the skater initially named in her place.Also - of note - Sofia Bezkorovainaya was added to the Junior Women's field - so, the USFS must have felt like the practice ice issue was not the fault of her or her team???
So what you're telling me is that there was a several page fight about whether Karen had the right to use her bye to US Nationals for no good reason.So, @Sylvia's unconfirmed info was correct and Karen opted to not use her bye.
Can't be any more ridiculous than the pissing match in the Russian general news thread about the score inflation happening on their fauxGP.So what you're telling me is that there was a several page fight about whether Karen had the right to use her bye to US Nationals for no good reason.
