I think the top seeded skaters can give their preference. But it's the feds that give the final invitation. So it's not like the top skaters can always get what they want. I would think the fed's preference is the priority, not the skaters'.

Ah I see. :)
I was kinda hoping he would go for CoR since the last time he went there it was 2011. Not sure if skate canada would invite him again, though personally I would want him to go elsewhere. But if he get SC again there will be less travel too and he won't be so exhausted. Also, I really hope he will attend 4CC, even though I am aware he skipped it for the last 3 years or so.

I think he is in a position that no feds other than NHK and TEB (because NHK, for the obvious reason, and France has no strong male skaters) want to invite him. I hope he doesn't get SA or SC. Less travel doesn't mean he will give good performance, look at 2012 SA and 2016 WC. I think it's very likely he will go to 4CC next year because the competition will be held in the Olympics arena. If he doesn't go to 4CC next year, the WC that follows will be worrying.

Javier wanted to go to COR, he likes competing there. He has gone to COR more than to any other GP, including the last 3 seasons. He could have said he preferred TEB last year and he didn't. Following this trend, there is a good chance of him going to Russia again, so I think that, if Yuzu goes to NHK (which will most likely happen), TEB and SA/SC are the best options for his other assignment. COC will obviously go to Boyang and I guess he will avoid TEB because it's right before COC.
Anyways, my guess for Yuzu is NHK and TEB :)

And he prefered CoC over SA too?

ETA: Maybe he does. But there were less than two weeks between coc and cor. If he goes to coc, it means he will travel half of the globe to China, then another half of the globe to come back to Canada to train for one week, and then go to Russia again to compete.

I don't know about that one, but it could be. COC had an easier field and he did win Worlds there last year.
Or perhaps he wanted more time to work on his programs and training.
Or maybe he did prefer SA, but at the end of the day the Feds also play a huge part on the assigments and USFSA chose Denis instead :shrug:

Maybe he does prefer COC over SA. Who knows? But he can't decide on the easiness of the field at CoC. It's not like he get to choose the rest of the skaters competing there. But there were less than two weeks between coc and cor. If he goes to coc, it means he will have to travel half of the globe to China, then another half of the globe to come back to Canada to train for one week, and then go to Russia again to compete. It's a lot of travel and jet lag for him.

As far as I know, top 2 can choose and get they want. The world champion is the first to choose, then after the champion makes his choice. There will be 4 events left for the silver medalist to choose from. Then the bronze medalist has no choice but to go the remaining two events.

For top 10 skaters, they can express their preference and each federation will consider it. But their final entries depend on invitations.

I don't know where COC is going to be held next year. If it is the same place as COC2014, I don't think Yuzu will ever want to go back there considering he is superstitious...

And COC date was moved and it's the week before NHK, no one likes back to back events. And still, the Feds do get some choice on the top skaters and the Chinese Fed would obviously like Boyang to compete there. Just as JSF would want Yuzu to do NHK.

I believe COC will be in Beijing.
 
IMO, it is likely Chinese Skating Federation prefers Boyang to be in COC. In that case, no COC for Yuzuru or Javi as they are all the medalists of the Worlds 2016. I prefer COR and NHK for Yuzuru because of the intervals in the schedule :)

Tbh, any event/Fed would love to have Yuzu. He is a definite seat seller and fans all around love him :)
