Spots for the next Olympics might be tough. Isabeau, Alysa, Ava, Amber, potentially Lindsay or one of the juniors coming up right now.

We don’t have a Junior with the trajectory that Alysa had. Elise and Sherry show promise but there’s no reason to think they can bump off one of the Senior skaters in the next two years, unless one is injured or really underperforms.
But Lindsay and Isabeau may have to rebuild their jumps. Ava and Amber need consistency. So who knows.

Sherry is too young for this Olympic cycle - born December 2008 (16 as of July 1, 2025).
In the mixed zone after her FS in Taipei:
ETA: 4th/5th place would have been possible had she come close to her SB scores of 60.52 (JGP ARM) & 123.48 (YOG) at Junior Worlds.

No problems if she’ll be demonstrating Solo Dance.

Karen Chen is more likely to begin competing in Solo Dance than Alysa.No problems if she’ll be demonstrating Solo Dance.

Context for the above comment - Karen is competing in Senior Solo Dance for Cornell's team this season: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/threads/collegiate-skating.110162/#post-6559304

I’m backing “Ms когда-либо сердце,” who is 17 now and age eligible for the 2026 Olympics.

For those who may not know, Sarah Everhardt's mother is named Ekaterina:
Sarah Everhardt was featured as the top Sports story in her local Virginia weekly publication (Feb. 15) - includes a small photo of her with her parents when she was 10:

Most of Sarah Everhardt’s peers at Battlefield High didn’t know they had a figure skating celebrity on their hands.www.fauquier.com

Although I can read Cyrillic, your comment was a challenge. I had to turn to Google for help. I assume that you are referring to Ms. (Sarah) Ever Heart?

That was a nice quote. I had high hopes for her after her YOG skate but she she should be proud of what she accomplished even with the mistakes.
Shame she won't be eligible for this Olympics as I think she's definitely a bright light for American women.

Wow, so many parts of this article. So proud of her
Kind of makes me want to think that after she does retire hopefully not for a while from now, both her and Gracie become ambassadors or take on positions at USFSA to help support change in the sport
Sorry but it's going to be boring watching skaters who've been around forever be the medal contenders in Milan. I really hope we have some contenders under the age of 25 by 2026.We got the talents of Loena and Amber and Kaori, we’re good!

Well, Jia Shin will be senior-eligible for the Olympic season, among others. So I'm sure there will be.

I much prefer the longevity and maturity that the woman bring. Why rush the young skaters? Give them time to develop.

I'm sorry but I can't think of any other sports where having veterans who are still competitive going for a chance at another win is considered less exciting smh.

Having a conveyor belt of interchangeable teenage girls was boring and predictable.
It's beause people have bought into the Russian illusion of dominance

Juniors and seniors are age categories, not skill categories in the ISU model. At this point, the ISU is saying adults should compete against adults, not children. It’s not about oh, she’s so good but she has to stay Junior! She’s competing against kids because she’s a kid and when she’s an adult, she’ll compete against adults.

I’m glad to hear this news (link is also posted in the U.S. Pairs news thread) - Audrey Shin had alluded to this possibility following her 9th place finish at Nationals in Columbus in this 1/28 post about her various physical & mental challenges, including injuries, in recent years: https://www.instagram.com/p/C2pvo_eLOLA/
Wishing her all the best in her partner search!

My dear husband who knows almost no current skaters, just informed me that there was an article on Isabeau Levito in yesterday's Philadelphia Inquirer. I like that other skaters are also mentioned and that the streaming options and times for the women's events are clearly specified. https://www.inquirer.com/sports/isabeau-levito-world-figure-skating-championships-20240318.html

Interesting article on Amber. The article says she loses focus during her footwork sequences in the Long Program and then struggles with the jumps afterwards. I wonder why her team doesn't just choreograph her Long Program to have the footwork sequence after the jumps are over? Plenty of programs are choreographed that way.
