Ugh I don't wanna be insensitive, but why did USFS campaign so hard for Max to have a spot and then have it all turn out like this? No hate to Max at all, I just can't get over only 2 of the USA men's spots being used at SkAm. Edit: In hindsight it sounds like I'm attributing this all to Max...

Morisi and Alina un-retiring for WTT

I know you brought up Nina Pinzarrone as an example in response to my prediction earlier. I'm realizing now she placed 11th at 2023 Worlds and was going to get 2 GPs initially regardless of SB or WS.

For these points, I made notes where a skater who is guaranteed 1 spot and will get 2 (and likewise for 1 --> 1). They're in parentheses next to the skater. For this point, I don't know how reliable it is to go by where the allocation stops in the previous year because of the age limit rule...

Now that the women's event at Worlds 2025 is over, here are some projected GP assignments. Despite WTT not happening yet, I don't believe any new SBs earned there would affect allocation substantively. This prediction hinges on the assumption that those who have been banned from competing will...

That was an accident. It's corrected now.

MEN Top 12 from Worlds guaranteed 2 each: Malinin - USA Kagiyama - JPN Siao Him Fa - FRA Uno - JPN Brown - USA --> Based on the fact that he's sat out the last 2 GP seasons, I don't think he'll participate in the upcoming one either. Britschgi - SUI Vasiljevs - LAT Miura - JPN Memola - ITA Cha...

I agree as well. For the USA TBD, they might just give Bradie a 2nd one, or they have a pool of Elyce/Starr/Clare/Sarah to choose from. For the 2 CAN TBD spots, it'll be some combination of Ruiter/Miclette/Dupuis likely. Finland and China are in similar situations where they don't have skaters...

WOMEN This prediction hinges on the assumption that those who have been banned from competing will still be banned in 2024-25 and that no one is unexpectedly sitting out/retiring and ISU uses the same rules they’ve historically used for GP spot allocation. Top 12 from Worlds guaranteed 2...

False. Vincent made his first Olympics in his debut senior season, and he didn't win Nationals.

Makar was added onto the replacement list because he won a CS this season.

If she is Korean, that is probably just her Korean name in Hanja, which is a writing system in Korea that utilizes the same characters as Chinese. Korean names can be represented with Hanja, and those who have these names might not necessarily have connections to China.

I’m still deciding where to go and I have 4 days to do so. Lol someone save me!

Is he going to Brown?

Are they actually going to try to have Champs Camp at Raf's rink? That would be really exciting! I haven't seen any sort of announcement related to this yet...
