I'm facebook friends with Caroline, and her status since Saturday is "Oh no..."
Coincidence? I think not.
from the source herself, there ya go. Yes, USFSA has no love for Caro.
I noticed that too. Poor girl, and she just had her sweet sixteen.. :disapp:
Sorry to be so gloomy, but this GP layout is a disaster for her, and as a devoted Caroline fan, I'm preparing myself early not to be disappointed with whatever the outcome. With Caroline herself, I will be happy just as long as she skates her best.
As for whoever mentioned her skating for another federation, as a high-profile US skater with international medals, USFSA could easily refuse to release her for many years, to make sure that not only she can't skate this Olympics, but not pose a threat at the next Olympics. I don't remember the exact rules, but I remember cases of skaters not being released for many years, and they weren't as successful as OO. Ironically, I think USFSA might value her more in absence.
Yeah, me too. Even though I know it's probably not likely, I still can't help but hope...
I've often thought about her switching federations... I'm sure China would love to have her (and USFSA would see what they're missing) but I didn't know that she had to actually be released by USFSA... How does this work exactly?
