Is there even an international event left in that time frame for which the official entry deadline hasn't passed yet? Winter Universiade as a last resort?
^ really happy to see you here
There are some B events in Europe I see but i dont know which holds competition for singles men. There must be one at least, the Golden Spin?
Thank you You can always count on me lurking in the background.
Entry deadlines for Golden Spin and NRW have passed, I think, but I guess a skater of Evan's calibre may show up last minute and still take part?, else it's Ukrainian Open or nothing.

Clock ticking on Lysacek comeback

Excerpt:
Evan Lysacek is running out of time to get the minimum qualifying scores he needs to be eligible for the 2014 Olympics.....
"Evan is back training and talking to USFS about what event to enter," his agent, Shep Goldberg, said Wednesday. "The bigger question is whether he could be in the best possible shape to represent the U.S. at the Olympics."
Some other Federations are also 'flexible' with their skaters.I am wondering if this is becoming an "Oh dear, the USFSA were sooooo inflexible with me and I wasn't fit enough for them" type storyline...
Yes that is what we are leading up to. He will need something after all when he WDs from Nationals officialy, and aborts his comeback altogether officially. This is the perfect opportunity to find such a storyline.
Why would he need such a storyline if he WDs from nationals? It is documented that he suffered an abdominal tear and a torn left hip labrum. These are significant injuries. If Evan is not able to recover from the injuries in time to compete this season, he does not have to invent a storyline to justify the WD.
If this year was the supposed start of his comeback you would be correct, but given that this so called comeback has dragged out 3 years now (and initially he did not even not compete due to an injury but due to some weird claims of not getting USFSA sponsorship/support) he probably rightly will feel the need to give a very good story to why he wont compete even once in this "comeback".
I think the minimum qualifying scores are ridiculous. Who believe that Lysacek or Plushy or anyone else who has a title can't do that level?
