One thing to consider, as far as Ashley skating the SP (and also for her being placed on the team instead of Mirai): The skating order for the SPs in the team event will be based on international ranking (not random draw), with the top skaters going later. Since Ashley's high international ranking was not affected by her subpar results at Nationals, it's entirely likely that she'll be one of the final skaters in the 2nd SP group; much later than Mirai, Polina or even Gracie would have been. So she'll have a chance to see how it's going and decide whther she needs to do 3f-3t or if the better team strategy is 3f-2t. In the LP, the skaters go in reverse order of the SP results. So if Ashley can skate safely and grab a 1st or 2nd, that also sets up Gracie to be able to skate later than most of the others.
