Really disappointed that we won't get to see FB/S at worlds. Their RD was probably my favorite this season.
It was a rather sudden and drastic rise, for sure. Who knows, maybe Maria-in-the-cocktail-dress will save the second spot.
I feel for Caro and Shane. Goodness knows I hoped for Worlds for them, but not like this, not after the rough season they've had and with everyone lamenting that they're not the Danadians. They're positioned to get blamed for the loss of the spot if it does happen. I just hope Shane has been practicing not falling down, God love him.
I don't think you have to worry about that. L/L are the default #2 team right now, but neither are expected to place high enough to matter. So in that sense, expectations are minimal, hopefully everyone can skate free of them.They're positioned to get blamed for the loss of the spot if it does happen.
From the instagrams I have seen with Caro and Shane in them they seem to have been practicing with the teams going to worlds all along and doing simulations so it seems everyone was aware that they might run out of time on the rehabbing.It was a rather sudden and drastic rise, for sure. Who knows, maybe Maria-in-the-cocktail-dress will save the third spot.

If Canada does lose a spot this year and even if they regain it in 2021, a team will be going to Nebelhorn/wherever if they want to send three teams to the Olympics....
Sure, but Canada's #3 dance team will usually be more than a match for the teams jousting for spots at Nebelhorn, and if we're assuming in this case that it's L/L, if they can't prevail there, Canada has way bigger problems than not having a third Olympic dance spot.If Canada does lose a spot this year and even if they regain it in 2021, a team will be going to Nebelhorn/wherever if they want to send three teams to the Olympics....
Among the teams, Chock/Bates are the big losers out of Worlds getting cancelled. They're still the US team with momentum going into next year, but not being able to cap their big comeback season with a World medal is a bit of a blow; conversely, Hubbell/Donohue are the big winners at getting to just junk this year's programs and start over for the fall.

There were a lot of rumours flying around the potential judging and tech panel composition, so it's hard to say. I didn't list S/K as necessarily the biggest winners because I thought it was possible they really wanted to press their advantage; one could similarly argue that P/C might benefit from a reboot in the same way H/D do.Maybe I'm delusional (don't all jump on me, I know it might be delusional!!!) but I truly thought S/K had a chance to win even with Worlds in Montreal.
Do people think the seeds could be done by seasons best? It would be P/C S/K C/B then S/B G/P H/D. That is quite similar to what the results likely would have been.
But then you have something like in pairs with Tarasova/Morozov having the third highest SB, #1 in WS, but they didn’t make the GPF. It seems ridiculous to have some of those teams that made the gpf seeded ahead of them and t/m just be an invited skater.The ISU could go with this season's GPF qualifiers as the seeded skaters, alternates and maybe the next three in the standings as invited skaters, and everything else based on season's best, JW placements and world standings.
