There finally out for the juniors. As some of you expected Mirai & Rachael are skating. Surprising that they have Juliana in juniors. Isn't she like 18?

It looks like Caroline Zhang is going to do senior grand prix.
'Skate America' and 'Cup of China' are my bet.
We suspect Ashley Wagner will be in the SGP pool as well. Not so sure about Oster...she might get a Senior B, as well as Kahle.
No, it just means that the skaters I listed did not originally qualify for one of the team envelopes (A-C) but will be added to the Reserve team envelope now that they have been assigned to a JGP. If any of them medal in their JGP, then they will be promoted to the Team C funding envelope. And they could possibly get a 2nd JGP assignment IF they place high enough in their first JGP and there are still open slots.What does it mean "added to the Reserve Team"? They only get one JGP?
I'm eager to see whether she'll put out some 3-3's next year -- she doesn't have the most amazing height on her jumps, but she does have wonderfully tight air positions and fast rotations, as well as good flow out of most of her jumps. Given how much she cleaned up her under-rotation last summer, I wouldn't be surprised if she came back in the fall with yet another leap in her jumping techniques.
The more I think about it, the more I think it might be a good idea for Skate America to invite Ando (if available), to skate against Kimmie, Alissa and Caroline. That way they could advertise the 2005 World Champion against the 2006 World Champion, and still save the showdowns against Asada and Kim for later in the season.
If Emily skates SA against Kimmie and Miki, then it most likely that Emily will get a bronze at best.I could be wrong but I think Emily will get invited over Alissa. They may even seen Wagner over her. I think the USFSA wants to at least have a chance at medals. As much as I love her skatings Alissa is just not competitive.
