Apparently it was announced on NBC that they had tested positive (I guess both? People said Terry said "they").I briefly scrolled through and didn’t see anything posted regarding the fact that Jenni & Todd were not in the K&C for the final. Wondering if one (or both) also tested positive??
Alternates? 4 Cs?To no one's surprise the US Olympic Pairs teams are Ashley Cain-Gribble/Timothy LeDuc and Alexa Knierim/Brandon Frazier
Alts just got announced:Alternates? 4 Cs?
It really sucks C/J get nothing. I would have given them worlds over K/F.Alts just got announced:
1. Calalang/Johnson
2. Lu/Mitrofanov
3. Chan/Howe
Edited to add the worlds teams and alternates are the same as Olympics
4CC:
Emily Chan/Spencer Howe, Audrey Lu/Misha Mitrofanov, Katie McBeath/Nathan Bartholomay no alternates
Over our strongest team? They were the only team in group two and earned their spot at these competitions fair and square. Especially in a year where maybe they can try to gain 3 spots? Worlds shouldn’t be a consolation prize.It really sucks C/J get nothing. I would have given them worlds over K/F.
Was just coming here to say the same thing. Obviously it's possible something will happen and they'll get called to the Olympics, but there's a good chance that their season is over which is a bummer. I assume Gr/P will be in the same boat for dance.It really sucks C/J get nothing. I would have given them worlds over K/F.
Green/Parsons might have a higher chance of one of the other teams noping out of worlds though. Idk about the pairs.Was just coming here to say the same thing.

AFAIK, the "group 2" stuff is only for Oly team selection, not Worlds.Over our strongest team? They were the only team in group two and earned their spot at these competitions fair and square.
Yeah, I think it would take YKW for one of our pairs not to go to worlds. And, truth be told, I think K/F and C-G/L are our best chance for three spots next year, so I'm fine with them getting those spots. It's just a shame that C/J can't go to 4CC because of all of the uncertainty with the crud.Green/Parsons might have a higher chance of one of the other teams noping out of worlds though. Idk about the pairs.
Why would it be different though. They are still the strongest two teams.AFAIK, the "group 2" stuff is only for Oly team selection, not Worlds.
I can't see either K/F or C-G/L opting out of Worlds. I could be wrong and we'll see how it goes with the Olympics and that super-strict bubble, plus Pairs is the last event, so maybe one of them will pass on Worlds.To be fair though usually at least some of the Olympic skaters opt out of worlds, if not most of them. One would think C/J has a good shot at going to worlds based on that.
C/J have beautiful skating, but they didn't land a single jumping pass cleanly in the long. They got the benefit of the doubt in the sp, but their jumps just aren't there in general. Even their throws were off. I'm not surprised they're sending K/F.It really sucks C/J get nothing. I would have given them worlds over K/F.
It seems a lot of first alternates are NOT being sent to 4CC.C/J should have been given 4Cs.
If I were them, I would probably quit competing, or at least, quit competing for the U.S.
Thats’s pretty harsh given their silver medal history.C/J should have been given 4Cs.

I agree. While I'm sure they'll be deeply disappointed if last night was indeed the end of their season, I'd like to think they can understand USFSA's reasoning for not sending them to 4CC. I don't think this should be seen as a slight against them at all.Thats’s pretty harsh given their silver medal history.
