Who do you think will skip Worlds after the Olympics?

[Ryan O]

Kevin Reynolds is Vaughn's replacement - they're congratulating him on the Skate BC website:

Why isn't Chipeur going?

injury. something he's been battling all season

[skatemom1122]

I don't think it'll be a problem keeping 3 spots for next year. Jeremy was 9th, and Johnny was 6th at the Olympics, but there will be less pressure at Worlds, and Stephane won't be there. I think it's very doable with Jeremy and Johnny.

Let's not count out Adam Rippon, 2010 Four Continents Champ! When he's on -- watch out! The uS SHOULD have no problem if Jeremy doesn't bomb..

Adam Rippon finished fifth at Nationals and will NOT be going to Worlds. Ryan Bradley, who placed fourth at Nationals, will be going to Worlds.

Ryan broke his ankle so I believe Adam Rippon will be going to worlds after all.

Is this true? What bad luck for Ryan and sorry to hear he has been injured.

I wish Adam good luck but feel sad that Ryan won't be able to compete.

Have you any believable source for this rumor? There is no announcement on the USFS website, nor anywhere else that I could find.

Was this posted anywhere ? I tried to find a link and cannot come up with anything.

SO SAD for Ryan, if this is true.. it probably is his last chance since I thought he was retiring :(

I don't think Bradley broke his ankle?
Seems like it's something you announce right away since it wouldn't "maybe heal" in 3 weeks.
Besides, it's not like his twitter is all that serious. Recovering from carpal tunnel/just kidding, heh.

And I am probably going to get flack for this, but I think Carolina should cede her spot to Valentina Marchei.

She already has, Valentina is going so Carolina can regroup and be prepared for next season. As for Bradley, I guess he is still going because there hasn't been any news saying Rippon will take his place.

I posted Ryan's latest Twitter entry above. It sounds like something has happened:

Sometimes things just happen, and you can't figure out why. I will keep looking out for that break.

It's pretty cryptic, though.
For all I know it has to do with why he was alone on Valentine's Day (per earlier twitter)

OH GOOD. Although with the year she's had I can't imagine what she'll do next. The silver lining is she has nowhere to go but up... maybe.
And hopefully Marchei can earn 2 spots for Italy next year.

Maybe. It's a bit of a stretch to take that as he broke his ankle though.

I really hope Ryan is not injured. He was very disappointed not making the Olympic team, but handled himself with class like a true gentleman. I think Rippon already peaked this season at 4CC and needs more maturity before he coudl really make a splash at the world scene to effect your number of spots for 2011. Crossing my fingers for Ryan!
