So Max and D/C can place third at Nationals and get the opportunity to go to Worlds but Mirai doesn't ok I see how it goes USFSA :sarcasm:

The sportsmanlike thing to do would be to at least give Mirai Worlds and Ashley Olympics. A very sad day. It speaks volumes. In fact couldn't Ashley herself suggest this tactfully?

Ryan O · Jan 14, 2014

So Davis & White are planning to go to Worlds?

I'm not sure if Virtue & Moir are, so I guess we will see.

Agreed.

USFSA :disagree::disagree:

This seems like a double smack in the face to Marai and her fans.

Skaters were notified by Tweet that they were on the team, and were told to send an acknowledgement at once. It was not a method that lends itself to skaters making any response other than, "Wow!"

Why no assignments for Worlds at http://www.usfsa.org/Athletes.asp?id=216 ?
Maybe USFS may change Worlds team on results of 4CC and Olympics?

TontoK · Jan 30, 2014

Based on my interpretations of what I've read, I wonder if Jeremy will want to go to World's.

I sort of got the impression that the OWG were his last hurrah.

Who knows? The men's team may be Max and Jason.

I believe, it is not the reason for not publishing assignments.
If anybody of assigned skaters WD, they are changed by substitute entries.
It is normal, we see WDs and new assignments in table http://www.usfsa.org/Athletes.asp?id=216

Be Bummed if Jason Brown is not on the World Team.

not after that terrible LP

Ryan O · Feb 18, 2014

I don't think either Jeremy or Jason is a perfect option.

dorispulaski · Feb 19, 2014

Well

Hanyu and Chan are unavailable...I hear Oda is free though

OMG. It is sort of infuriating...Oda could have totally showed up and showed everyone.

Ryan O · Feb 19, 2014

Here is a link to the official Worlds website.

But it's early days yet so they haven't added any skater entries:

Well nobody skated well at the Olympics in the Men's Long Program in the Final Group. There was no buzz in the building especially w/o Plushy pulling out of the competition. The acoustics were terrible compared to those at US Nationals. Skating last makes it harder to compete, especially after the wait is rather long from the Warmup

Still better than Abbott's double SP disaster.

snowflake · Feb 21, 2014

US has no reliable consistent top male skater... fact

adamlondon · Feb 24, 2014

shame really about the men's fs. really scraping the barrel to get someone who can do something. in this respect i support max aaron to be given the best chance since everyone had a go and all that kind of thing already
