Actually, they DID for Worlds. National Champion gets automatic berth to Worlds unless declined.While I'd prefer Jason to go and not Jeremy, this is a different situation than Flatt's or Czisny's. He is fully healthy but just not a consistent competitor. The USFSA awarded him the spot although they didn't have to. I hope this blows up in their face so they finally decide to make better decisions about assigning skaters to important events.

Jeremy has beaten both Max and Jason at GP events and at nationals. Two US men have beaten Jeremy this season, Joshua at Skate Canada and Jason at Olympics. Adam has beaten Jason once and Max twice at GP's and lost to both at nationals. Max has beaten Jason at two GP's and lost to him at nationals. Joshua was 4th at nationals and Adam 8th... … so who is consistent?
Thx, snowflake -- good analysis of the ups and downs of all U.S. men.
(Minor fact-check that does not dilute your point at all: Max beat Jason at one GP, Skate America. Max's second GP was NHK; Jason's was TEB.)
^Doesn't mean a thing. Adelina and S/S are also touring with Art on Ice and S/S already confirmed that they go to Worlds.
Her marks aren't going anywhere. The ISU is fully behind her, Julia, and Gracie.
Oh REALLY they said they are not sure about Worlds??? Strange. I thought in their interviews after Sochi they did say they were going... I was nearly certain they said it in the one with Michelle Kwan at least, and possibly some others.
But if D&W go, it won't be fun for V&M to likely place 2nd again. I also kind of wonder what type of discussions V&M are having with Marina after their comments in Sochi!
It will be so delicious if she doesn't even make the podium.
