Looking at the protocols, most of Osmond's PCS fell in the 8 - 9.5 range. Not happening at Worlds, I'm afraid.

I wondered why that was counted as a sequence instead of a combo....thanks for the answer!

You're right. Even if it's going to be held in Canada, her PCS won't be high as Yuna, Caro, and Mao

Who is saying they will be? For God's sake, she will be a debutant at Worlds, those who are expecting her to contend for a medal are completely unrealistic.
A top 8 would be a good result, an evetual top 6 would be GREAT!.
She's a very good performer with a distinct character and I enjoyed it. That said, her FP is far from perfect, I think her step and choreographic sequences need a lot of improvement.
Great performer but that last footwork sequence is very slow near the end. Its one thing that stood out for me as something not yet as good at the top ladies in the world. She iam sure can improve that. She has come so far in just one year already.
Yeah! Osmond for the World Champion in home London! Way to go, Canada!I think Top 10 finish would be considered a success. That said, with the sad state of ladies skating these days and a number of injuries affecting some of the top ladies, anything is possible and that would not be unrealistic. You only need to start looking around who are left standing now in the ladies world.
Japan: Asada just won her nationals with 3 clean triples and this is actually one of her better skate, meaning she could do worse than that.
USA : A big ? overall. Wagner is injured. Czisny is not even sure being able to come back. Gold is an unknown / dark horse. Nagasu has the potential but definitely in the league of Osmond.
Europe : Korpi, the top European lady this season is injured. All the Russian ladies who will be at Worlds have already been beaten by Osmond this season. Kostner is on the road of recovery but her technical content is thin, even if she repeats her content from last year, there are some questions whether that's enough to handle the onslaught of 3/3 and the more difficult Triples, like the Lutz, which she doesn't do anymore, especially if she is unable to even maintain last year's rather water-downed content.
All said and done, this leaves only Yu Na Kim. In her only outing this season, she struggled through her LP, with a fall and multiple errors. Definitely not the former Yu Na that we were used to quite yet. Still, she will be a favorite going in but that's only one person.
Looking at this overall picture, is it as unrealistic as you think that Osmond could medal at the World Championship?
