I'd be surprised if Rachel does not get SA.
Rochette is getting SC. No speculation required.
Kim got SA last year, but I don't know if she would get it again as the WC. Maybe Ando is fair game though. It would help the US ladies in terms of getting to the final. But the USFS could also invite Kim to allow the comeback kid an opportunity to see where she stacks up vs. The Olympic Favorite.
Ah...yes. Now that I understand how the seeded skaters work, apparently if Rochette gets SC, Kim can't also get it. So she would have to get SA in that case.

Yu-Na said in the interview at the airport that she would like to skate in north America which practically means SA. Let's wait and see whether she can.
