Sophie Joline von Felten, who was landing 3A-3A before, seems practicing 4S and 4S combo now.

Fifteen-year-old figure skater Kate Pressgrove has arrived in Paris as part of the official delegation for Salt Lake City's bid for 2034 Olympics. The other two athletes representing local youth legacy programs are Emma De Bock, a figure skater who made a successful switch to speed skating in 2023; and luger Orson Colby.
(On July 24, a small team from the SLC delegation will make a final presentation before the IOC's definitive vote and announcement of the host city.)

SLC-UT 2034's announcement of the delegation two weeks ago included Q&A with Kate and the other two youth athletes, beginning at approx. 41:55.

Would love it if you could also post this in the 2030, 2034 Olympic thread. I don't think I know how to repost - at least not easily.

Well, when did this thread get started? Did the other one already fill up? Well when you have a national champion like Amber, I guess it goes quickly.

Yayyyy the new season starts in two weeks

Do we have the junior list?

Not for Cranberry as far as I can tell.

Ohhhhhh cleo and Mia should definitely be getting some junior Grand-prix assignments, good scores

If only they had skated better at the Junior Cup...

Cleo Park did skate well at Junior Cup-she was 4th!

 

[Karen-W]

Cleo Park did skate well at Junior Cup-she was 4th!

Yes, but we only have 7 spots on the JGP, so she may or may not get a JGP assignment.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Who were the top three at the junior cup?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Yes, but we only have 7 spots on the JGP, so she may or may not get a JGP assignment.

Shouldn't 7 mean one spot for each of the top 4 and then hold later spots for whoever medals? Or are there skaters involved who weren't at the junior cup?

Sherry Zhang apparently has a minor injury, so you'd have to think 1 spot is probably going to her.

Gotcha, so Cleo Park would potentially be next up for a later JGP if multiple women don't earn a second one

 

[her grace]

I’d say Park is on the bubble for one of the spots, but doing well at additional competitions like here is a mark in her favor.

 

[haribobo]

We should send at least 5 different ladies out on the JGP, even with only 7 spots. With how strong the field is, I am not thinking too many of them are going to need second spots this year...

Wow Elyce with over 70 points in her short program, I may need to rethink my medalists for the cranberry international

Is Elyce skating as a Junior or Senior this season?

 

[Karen-W]

Is Elyce skating as a Junior or Senior this season?

She wasn't at Junior Cup and is entered for senior at Cranberry Cup, so I think it's pretty safe to say she is skating senior this season. Same with Sarah Everhardt.

 

[Willin]

I'd assume Senior domestically and Junior internationally.

The US has a lot of very good Senior ladies right now: Amber, Isabeau, Starr, Lindsay, Ava, and 3-4 of the other top juniors. Especially with Alysa's comeback I don't see why you would want to compete for international spots at the Senior level. Meanwhile she's easily top 5 in Juniors right now. She'll get assignments there.

If she was skating junior internationally then she would have been at Jr Team Cup a couple weeks ago.

There is no benefit to skating junior internationally instead of senior internationally and, potentially, beating some of those inconsistent women you mentioned.

Starr is not on the level of some of those other girls and if Elyce skates like she in the SP she can beat her too and her upside is much greater while Starr is maxed out. Speaking of which Logan Higase-Chen better be getting one of the 1st JGP's coming up.

So the skating lesson has posted that they have some news and information on Ava Ziegler but have to pay to join… Does anybody have access?
