Marvel superheroes inspire Bradie Tennell and Starr Andrews by Lynn Rutherford (includes quotes from Bradie, Starr and Derrick Delmore): https://olympics.nbcsports.com/2018...oes-inspire-bradie-tennell-and-starr-andrews/
I am really intrigued about Gracie's come back. I thought I read somewhere that she didn't show any triples at Champs Camp, so I am a little surprised she still planning to go to a cup of Russia. If she doesn't go to cup of Russia, then she can't go to Nationals - is that correct?
8 weeks to Rostelecom Cup... hopefully her training is going well.She [Gracie] still has time before CoR

Bradie's role model is "Iron Man" and Starr's role model is "Black Panther"....
Would it be a tall order to ask these girls to look at biographies of Nobel Prize winners in science, medicine and literature?
is for both girls' "role model" choices...... if you can't figure it out from the next line....
Please clarify why Starr’s choice is worthy
They’re both fictional characters though...is for both girls' "role model" choices...... if you can't figure it out from the next line....
exactly. there are real people with great and valuable accomplishments.They’re both fictional characters though...

Harry Potter....Which they might not be able to relate to. I mean the world AA Women’s gymnastics champion looks up to Harry Potter.
I agree. SP is good, LP is very flat and personally boring but I think it will get better. The music edit hopefully will too...I loved Bradies SP and she look damn sharp out there at this point of the season. The LP although technically very good felt a bit flat for me. It was a bit too much going on and it did not feel very "natural" to me. I hope she don't feel she "must" be overly unique or a Kostner copy at this point of her career. She has all the good to medal at Worlds and it is such pleasure to see an American lady which seems to have her feet firmly on the ground and focus on herself and her goals. I still remember that sad comment Gracie made a few years ago where she said she felt that she a had let America down (or somewhere down those lines)...I believe skaters should first and foremost skate for themselves!
Oh, i am glad to hear it (it was not so in my school/uni days).And, for the record, schools here hang far more pictures of famous scientists and almost none of athletes. At both the universities I attended it was the scientists that specifically worked at those institutions (athletes were pictured in the athletic buildings but not elsewhere).[/B] In my elementary schools they posted pictures of politicians, scientists, and musicians that looked quite a bit like the ones you liked to. One classroom had every front page headline for the school year hung up along with pictures of those newsmakers who were good role models. In middle and high school those pictures didn't really exist, but there would be copious displays, presentations, and discussions about famous scientists and authors depending on the subject.
From USFS' Rulebook:
2515 For all championship (senior) events, the following competitors will receive an automatic invitation to the same event; however, any such competitor or couple must enter to compete through the online registration process as described in rule 2401 and by the deadline of Sept. 1. Failure to do so will result in the competitor(s) not being entered nor allowed to compete at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships for the current season.
A. A competitor or couple placing in the top five at last year’s U.S. Figure Skating Championships;
B. A competitor or couple who won a medal at the most recent Olympic Winter Games;
C. A competitor or couple who won a medal at the most recent World Championships.

As stated upthread, skaters receive a bye through Sectionals if they have an int'l assignment that is within 7 days (10 days if in Asia) of Sectionals, so CoR would qualify. All skaters who receive a fall int'l assignment, regardless of timing, receive a bye through their Regional. If Gracie's GP were more than 1 week before Sectionals, it is possible that she would have to compete at Easterns.Thank you @Sylvia, but that begs the question: How then does Gracie even get a bye? She does not qualify at all given these three criteria. Can you explain that?
It is up to the adults and educators to make young people (over certain age, 10? years of age) "relate" to people who go through educational process, life struggles and hard work to make true contributions to societies, instead of anime/fictional characters.
A place to start is to hang portraits of scientist, doctors, writers, etc... in the school corridors, instead of ball players for example.. Maybe a list of famous American writers is a good start... it's done in other places.

I like Bradie..and her skating, and her FS.. hopefully she wins a few major events, and goes to Yale or Harvard and her role model will be Madame Curie..Good gravy, I only stalk a few threads on here, but based on those it's clear that you'll criticize absolutely anybody for absolutely any reason, won't you?

Thanks, so basically @Sylvia posted those three criteria that had absolutely nothing to do with Gracie Gold's comeback. Gracie just happened to luck into an international assignment that conflicted with Sectionals so she has a free pass to Nationals. Got it.
Harry Potter....

Even though she's not American I just want to say yay for Mae winning bronze. With Starr in the field this is the first time in 20+ years of watching the sport I can ever recall there being two black women competing in the same international event. Bit of a proud moment for me!
