How long do we have to wait for GP assignments?

That's what I said in 2022 and why I was so pissed at the USFS for choosing Jason instead. Ilia has been more inconsistent than Nathan and I do worry about how he will handle the Olympics, though he does seem to really rise to the occasion when he knows the level of competition he is facing.I know people loved that Jason was on the last Olympic team but this is where I worry we screwed Ilia. The entire narrative from Scott, Brian and Nathan is they needed the first Olympic experience to learn how to skate for gold in their second.
I understand why Jason was selected but I stand by my feeling that Ilia needs to worry about mental preparation just as much as the physical. Ilia said he has talked to Nathan before so I hope that mentorship continues. It could be very helpful.
