Maybe due to being passed over for Junior Worlds?gogolev??
Orzel has not progressed like he`d/everyone has hoped. But he didn`t implode. He stood up on the quad and axel. Something went haywire and he ended up with no combination. I actually felt encouraged with his landing the quad and 3A. Still, Canada may have a better option for WTT.L
I'd probably send Chiu seeing as Orzel completely imploded here in Saitama.
I did see that, ty.No.
The ISU's press release today (linked in post #53 above) states: "The USA has not yet announced their team, but newly minted World Ice Dance Madison Chock/Evan Bates, World Pairs silver medalists Alexa Knierim/Brandon Frazier and World bronze medalist Ilia Malinin as well as Jason Brown are expected to compete."
The new pair of Hye Jin Cho (Canadian-Korean) and Steven Adcock competed at KOR Nationals and are likely to go/make their international debut at WTT.how does it work for Korea without a pair?
They compete in the other three disciplines and get 0 points for pairs segments. Matteo Rizzo got Covid and couldn't be replaced in time in 2021, so Italy received 0 points for (his part of) the men.and what would happen if they did not have a pair?
Heck, you know it's well-liked if Keegan decided to compete this season with the goal of attending just one more WTT.Well every team participating certainly cares considering it’s the event with the biggest prize money in the entire skating calendar.
I think it’s his first WTT. Especially after missing the team event in Beijing he really wanted this experience.Heck, you know it's well-liked if Keegan decided to compete this season with the goal of attending just one more WTT.
Didn't Orzel also have really bad luck going into that SP? Skating with new boots (one week old) and then his blade breaking the day before the SP so skating with a new blade/new sharpening?Orzel has not progressed like he`d/everyone has hoped.

I agree - he has improved with Ravi and he has been skating well. I thought he did well to still land a quad and 3A, given the unfortunate luck with his boots and blade. That had to throw him off a bit, especially being his first Worlds and not having the experience of some of the more seasoned competitors. I definitely cut him a bit of slack on that one.Didn't Orzel also have really bad luck going into that SP?

He has made improvements since his move to Ravi, I also wouldn't say he imploded considering all that.
and what would happen if they did not have a pair?
There’s always the possibility Kaiya was asked and turned it down.Pleasantly surprised by the nomination of Gogolev.
Confused that Kaiya did not get the nomination.

I remember that, with everyone from all countries singing happy birthday to Kaitlyn in the KnC! It was a sweet moment.Keegan previously competed at 2019 WTT.

Oh thanks for that. I didn't remember this and I didn't see it listed in his ISU bio.Keegan previously competed at 2019 WTT.

Also, per the document, the JSF can invite up to 4 skaters from non-qualifying countries who had the highest results in the Grand Prix/Worlds to participate in the Exhibition - at a cool $10k/$15k per singles/team for their trouble.
My expectation is that they will invite Hendrickx and Fear/Gibson.
