Here is the most recent results page for the 2013 British Nationals:

You will note that Jenna completed 3F2t, 3t and 2a in the short. The next nearest competitor, Karly Robertson, did 3t2t, fell on a 3S, and did a 2A. She earned about 8 points less than Jenna.

This is why Jenna keeps winning.

In the LP, Jenna did not skate very well, but still finished ahead of Robertson. Both girls did mostly doubles.

Jenna has the requisite TES for Europeans, and I think also Worlds by this point. I don't believe any other British girls have gotten the required World's TES. Her federation gets one spot at each event, if they have a qualified competitor. If Jenna did not compete, there would be no British lady at Worlds, and it wouldn't open any opportunity for anyone else, either in GBR, or in any other country. The spot would just not be used.

Yep, no competition doesnt mean it wouldn't be nice to see someone else skate. Jennifer Robinson in Canada won for years and her skating was never exciting. She'd some times do 7 triples but the quality and speed was so meh no one cared.

You wouldn't see them, except at Senior B's & British Nationals. And they get to go there already.

They don't get the qualifying TES to go to Worlds or Europeans, so no opportunity for anyone opens up if Jenna quits. In Canada, when Robinson was skating, there was no minimum TES rule, so if she quit, you could say someone else would get a chance, at least to skate a qualifying round at Worlds, or to go to 4CC's.

Under the current rules, that is not the case.
