The practice I saw of Katie and Daniil if they’re going to get the gold medal, they’re going to have to improve quickly.
He hurt his arm/shoulder during their run-through and didn't skate the rest of the session. Not surprising they've WD.What has happened to Megan and Eduardo, I was watching them in practice yesterday and they look good. They have withdrawn from the US championships
I watched both practices on Peacock yesterday and in the morning practice M/P looked fairly rough. In the evening practice they looked really strong, I was shocked. They are still rough around the edges and look like a new pair, but they are one of the few US Pairs that can land jumps and throws consistently. After watching practice last night, I wouldn’t be surprised if they won, but I think for sure they will be on the podium. I can’t wait to see them next year, when they have time to gel.The practice I saw of Katie and Daniil if they’re going to get the gold medal, they’re going to have to improve quickly.
I think the podium is pretty wide open between 5 teams - McBPark, ChanHowe, LiuNagy, KamOSh and MarBed.
Lmao - nope. That last team of yours is NOT on the same level as the five I said. Maybe in a couple years but not yet.fixed it for you

No, they really aren't. Their lifts aren't even close to the same level as EfiMit. Like, seriously... Alisa Efimova has been a pairs jewel for years. Try again.they definitely are especially with the team that I replace them with
pairs jewel
Parkman doesn't have a release from Georgia yet, their season is over after the LP.Just got to thinking. Who has/doesn't have minimums to compete at World's. For example, if McBeath/Parkman medal, do they have minimums? They are not on the 4 continents team.

McBeath/Parkman aren't eligible because he doesn't have his release yet. Same for Efimova/Mitrofanov - she won't have her release until April.Just got to thinking.

I’m glad they withdrew and hope they get named to Worlds if ready. They’re the best pair we have.
Per reports, they only started lifting again in the past 2 weeks. His recovery definitely took longer than they anticipated but I think they're trying to do it right and not leave him open to re-injury. Let's see how they look in another 7 weeks at Worlds.Sorry about your shoulder, firstly.
Howe had his shoulder surgery last April? May? I fear that him skating with the tear all last year may have made the surgery help, but not necessarily allow him to fully recover. 8 -9 months later and needing to withdraw after the SP doesn't sound promising to me.

Who knows? I don't see any issue with naming them to the team conditionally. They are the best team we have even with him recuperating still.They would need to be monitored in 4-5 weeks so decisions can be made. Hard to fathom, realistically, how an extra month of rehab is going to result incredibly different results than the prior seven months did. One can hope, but...

And yet last season they named Hawayek/Baker to the Worlds team... I think that skaters/teams that have qualified for the GPF and/or finished top 6 at Worlds are in a different category than, say, a team like Smirnova/Siianytsia (to give another example from last season). I also think it's a slightly different scenario with our pairs teams since none of the ones who did compete this fall set the world on fire or demonstrated any kind of consistency.I'm not saying they should be excluded from a provisional slot, just that I don't expect a big difference even if they are.
And as I understand the current political landscape at USFS, those in power aren't very open to having faith in a skater(s) who haven't competed all season, prior results or not.
This is kind of my thinking. I think the sp was both a bit of a test of his shoulder but also a way to show usfs that they still got it in competition and will only get better in the weeks leading up to worlds.I would guess that Chan/Howe's plan for this event was to do what they did - compete well in the SP to show they've still got it, withdraw so not to put too much additional strain on the shoulder doing a LP, and petition and hope that things continue to improve in the next few weeks. Or they might have thought they'd see how the SP went, and if he was feeling great, go for it - but really better not to push things too far too fast.
