Who should get Gracie's GP spots?

[haribobo]

It will hopefully be a US lady... for COC, both Japan and Russia have 3 spots already...also for France GP, Russia is maxed out there, but Japan could fit one more lady...

 

[Jarrett]

Hicks, Tennel or Zhang if U.S. Craine or Han if anyone else.

 

[Jeschke]

How did Nagai get on this list?
Is she still skating after all?
My wounded heart!

 

[haribobo]

Oh, no sorry, I must have missed the news on her, did she retire or is injured?

I guess no one really knows; her coach moved to CAN and she attends university now.
These were end of last seasons news. So no clue what happened since then!
I wait for the epic comeback!

Yes, Yuka is still skating. Her most recent competition was Tokyo regional and she placed 2nd at sr. ladies. She has qualified for sectional. Hopefully she's also enjoying university life at Waseda! (Re. the coach situation, she just switches to another coach in Japan)

 

[Enchanted]

Waseda? Isn't that a very high level university? Good for her.

 

[cohkaix]

Yap! THE WasedaU. I think Yuka is a member of the skating club at Waseda. There are always news updates whenever she's in competitions (aside from qualifying competitions, there are plenty of inter-college competitions during the year and Yuka participates in those as well!)

 

[Jeschke]

Thanks so much for the updates @cohkaix
Are there any videos of her regionals skate?
Come on Yuka

Amber Glenn for CoC. She's next on the list and her coaches will already be going for Cain & LeDuc. Would be nice to replace an American with an American.

Would love to see Kraine get France but Ill go with Matsuda, not because I know much about her but because her ranking I think was up there.

Id like for Bradie to concentrate solely for SkAm and not have 2 back to back.

 

[Vash01]

I picked Bradie Tennell and Amber Glenn- two young skaters with promise.

 

[Areski]

I want Caroline Zhang.

 

[Firedancer]

Amber Glenn & Bradie Tennell

 

[DimaToe]

Any combination of Tennell, Hicks, and Craine.

Just added a video under the discussion 'Japanese figure skating 2017-18 season news & updates', please check it out there!

Where is all the Amber Glenn support coming from? She didn't even break 150 at her challenger series event and was 8th at Nationals while dropping out of Junior Worlds for personal reasons?

 

[Vagabond]

She's at the top of the Alternates' List.

ISU Grand Prix Assignments 2017/18 Olympic season

It's as good a reason as any to support someone.

Simply because she's next in the list. She has earned it.

Also, I find her fascinating to watch...kinda like a Nicole Bobek... exciting, wild jumps.. and unpredictable... because of that alone I am more interested than in Medev.
