I read somewhere on the net that in Irina had to skate a "test" for her federation, her SP once and her LP twice to prove she was recovered, before they OK'ed her trip to Worlds.
If they grant her a bye, they'll have to monitor her progress too, like they did with Nancy's case back in 1994...grant 'bye' first, then monitoring progress which include observe her running throughs her SP and LP, then final 'OK'.tripleflutz said:I read somewhere on the net that in Irina had to skate a "test" for her federation, her SP once and her LP twice to prove she was recovered, before they OK'ed her trip to Worlds.

If they go strict by the rule, MK's case is argubly strong than Nancy's. Nancy's competion results since 1993 US Nationals:
1993 US Nationals 1st
1993 World Championships 5th
1993 Hershey's Kisses Pro-Am 2nd
1993 Piretten 1st
1993 AT&T Pro-Arm 1st
1994 US Nationals withdraw
So percisely only 1993 World Championships 5th finish was in the listed competetions IC will be considered.
Michelle finished 4th in previous World Champion.
So give the rules, give the precedence, MK's petition has a strong case, IMO.

As for other comments about the SP's and skating being crappy at Nats, if memory serves me right, it wasn't as if Sarah skated very well at Nats and she was the one who raised her performance to win the OGM.
