Efimova competed for Germany last season and Parkman competed for Georgia. They do not have releases to compete internationally. Efimova should have hers soon but it's still a question mark for Parkman.Are Efimova and Parkman both ineligible to compete at 2024 Worlds? Does anyone know the reason why they can't compete internationally?
Will they finally be eligible to compete in 2024-2025 Grand Prix season?
Wasn’t that Soho Lee? Josephine competed in Austria and finished 8th.Sarah perhaps, Josephine not so much. USFS doesn't put as much stock in having one great comp at Nats compared to the entire season's results. Josephine was such a hot mess last summer she WD from/had her JGP assignment pulled, depending on the gossip you choose to believe.
Aren’t you thinking of Soho? Josephine competed at the second JGP in Austria
My bad. Too many Lee girls at the Junior level!!!Wasn’t that Soho Lee? Josephine competed in Austria and finished 8th.
There are the skaters who can pass her in WS and those whom she might have passed had she competed.I wonder if the ISU points she’ll miss out by not going could have propelled into a better start position for the world short program?

Right now, Glenn's WS 16. Four skaters above her aren't currently assigned to Worlds (Y. Kim, Mihara, Watanabe, You). That would put her at WS 12.
I can't find an announcement of the Estonian World team; Petrokina's been back on the ice since earlier this month and is on the Challenge Cup roster. If Petrokina skates, then Glenn is 12th; if Petrokina doesn't, then Glenn is 11th and safely in the penultinate group, because:
Chiba will bump Glenn a spot down if she is 5th or higher at 4C's. If Petrokina skates, that also means being bumped down a group.
Had Glenn competed, she would have passed Schizas by placing one spot above Schizas, who can only earn incremental points over 264. Schizas is 29 points above Glenn before 4C's.
She would have needed 243 more points than Yoshida to pass her, 281 more than Chaeyeon Kim, 10th or higher to pass Petrokina, 8th or higher to pass Pinzarrone, and 4th or higher to pass Kurakova. If she skated/finished, she would have guaranteed herself a spot in the penultimate group, rather than depending on Petrokina's status, and there would have been an outside chance of being in the final group, if Yoshida faltered, and she placed 4th.

Estonia is probably waiting until after Kiibus skates at Bavarian Open and Petrokina skates at Challenge Cup to name their Worlds team.There are the skaters who can pass her in WS and those whom she might have passed had she competed.

Talked to handsome and classy Patrice Lauzon after the event this evening and he says C&B are still planning on 4CC’s. He said it appears to be a shorter lived bug and that Maddie is better already (she got it first) and Evan is better today than yesterday when they did not practice, so he feels they will recover quickly. They did compete sick at worlds last year with a stomach bug. We’ll see what happens.I sincerely hope so unless their plan is to be Typhoid Marys who take out the rest of the competition.
I don't think I need to tell anyone that I'm anti-mask and anti-restriction, but there was really no need for Chock and Bates to skate today. They have many US titles already, and their Worlds spot was not in doubt. Going to 4CC when they're so visibly sick puts themselves and others at risk, plus it's stupid strategically to potentially end up off the podium in their last competition before Worlds.
The USFS should withdraw them if they don't come to their senses. I might excuse this type of behavior for Worlds or Olympics, but it's just unnecessary at US Nationals or 4CC.
So, they're waiting until after 4CCs and WYOG to finalize the alternates and Jr Worlds teams...Here's our first press release:
Worlds
WOMEN'S
Amber Glenn
Isabeau Levito
ICE DANCE
Madison Chock and Evan Bates
Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko
Emily Bratti and Ian Somerville
Alternates to be named on February 8 - World Juniors team announced February 2

It certainly ensures that they won't be judged side-by-side in Montreal and subjected to the politics of "split the vote." I think C/P are prepared to ride the momentum at 4C's and build on Nationals after such a spectacular performance. G/P will have 4C's to garner WS points and, hopefully, some cash.This also very firmly and clearly establishes CarPon as USA #2 heading into both 4CCs and Worlds.
Yeah, but I have a feeling GreenP might wind up 6th in Shanghai behind Les Gacs.It certainly ensures that they won't be judged side-by-side in Montreal and subjected to the politics of "split the vote."

No - as stated above - Elyce is the 1st alternate, then Audrey and then Starr.So this is Ava’s last appearance this season? And probably Lindsay’s as well. I’m looking forward to seeing how Ava is.
now that Amber is out was starr the first alternate?
No - as stated above - Elyce is the 1st alternate, then Audrey and then Starr.
She should have skated better during the fall like Elyce did.lol in the opposite order than what they should be. Feel bad for starr.
I looked again, and 6th will get them no championship points: they already have two slots, so they need more than 588 points, or 4th or higher to get the increment between 588 and what they'd earn if they had a full slot. But it's still 5K for sixth place, although I'm guessing all of Zuerlein and the Whites would rather not get on that plane tomorrow.Yeah, but I have a feeling GreenP might wind up 6th in Shanghai behind Les Gacs.![]()

Wait... I'm confused... The championship points they have are from last season and the season before, so don't they need championship points for this season to offset the ones they'll lose when the 2021-22 season drops off?I looked again, and 6th will get them no championship points: they already have two slots, so they need more than 588 points, or 4th or higher to get the increment between 588 and what they'd earn if they had a full slot.

Well, the men won't be flying out until Monday since they have to compete tomorrow...question – as someone who studied the 1961 plane crash extensively are all the skaters, coaches and officials who are going to 4CC tomorrow flying together on a plane? Because after 1961, USFSA said the team would never travel on one plain as a group any longer.
I was thinking that they only swapped out a higher score and "(scored)" the lowest, but I'm sure you're right, and, since they're not going to Worlds, it doesn't matter if it impacts their total score this season. They'd get 80-something incremental points, once the 588 from two seasons ago was dropped, if they place 6th at 4C's.Wait... I'm confused...

Given that Bratti and Somerville did so well I wonder that too.I wonder if this is the death knell between Green/Parsons + MIDA.
