Thanks 
And what's Sasha doing on that list? Is this old, or is she REALLY going to compete?
I take it that they may be assuming that she's going and she will then "withdraw" from the competition. I really think there's no way in h*** that she's going...not with all that she's been doing.

The practice group list says at the bottom: "Subject to change. List represents entries as of 12/15."
OK, that's more like it. I think it will be a "withdrawal" from the competition from Cohen rather than a flat-out announcement that she's not going to go. Sort of like Kwan and 2006 Nats (although she did it because of injury)
That way you still get your ticket sales. And yes, it is evil of USFS

I wonder if there is any significance to the fact that Sasha's group has one extra skater, compared to the others?
Doubt it....22 skaters, 3 groups....there was going to be one group with 8. I wouldn't read to much into it.
hwell:Cohen filed her paperwork just like everyone else, so she is on the list. Not that I think she will be in Spokane, but she still had to go through the mechanics of submitting paperwork. And until she shows up/doesn't show up, we can all speculate forever what her plans are.

I believe so- Cohen is that "extra skater"
I don't know why her name is even on that list- it's kind of funny actually.

Cohen is eligible to skate at US Nats and defend her title, and she submitted the requisite forms to do so. that's why her name is on the list. Withdrawal is another question for now and if it were to happen I can see speculators giving 5 or 6 reasons for her doing so.

Anyone know why Steenberg and Smith are highlighted in yellow?
It's not a question- it WILL happen. Mark my words. And there's only one reason: she doesn't want to.
And it's now official...she ain't going:

ETA:
Eh? :scratch: :think: she keeps saying this. Maybe she really means it after all. But mind and body are two different things, and both may not wish to do the same thing at once.
I still think she's through with competitive skating. Even if she wishes to come back, she probably either a) won't be able to do it because she's so far behind the current generation or b) she'll pick up an injury and will miss out on the OLY.

Does someone else get to compete at Nationals?
No. Cohen had a bye to 2007 Nationals, so no one replaces her. 21 senior ladies are now scheduled to compete in Spokane (7 in each of the 3 practice groups).

at least for now there art 21. If one is becomes ill or injured are there others to replace them? like maybe the highest scorer at a Sectional?
btw. Any reason for the yellow highlight on Smith's and Steenberg's names?
