2018-2019 GP Assignments

[DanseMacabre]

Kim Ha-nul gets Finland. She was the most egregious omission from the initial assignments, in my view, considering she was thirteenth at the Olympics.

Good! She definitely deserved a spot.

 

[BaldoCP]

It looks like Alexia Paganini is going to the INTERNATIONAUX DE FRANCE.

Where did you see this? I don't see it on the ISU entries page

 

[chuckm]

Paganini is no surprise as a choice: the French Fed is big on protecting the chances of its own skaters.

 

[GF2445]

Oh well. Maybe mext year.

 

[AlexRus]

So Alexia gets two? That seemed necessary.

Ok so who else is likely/possible to drop out? Radionova from NHK and maybe Karen Chen from Rostelekom?

Not that I’m wishing for this at all, but Wakaba might drop out of her later event depending on her injury. We’ll see how she is at Skate Canada

 

[Artemisa]

I'm becoming a little lost of who is dropping and who is the substitute

I thought I was keeping up with all the withdrawals, but Choi's is new to me. Why did she withdraw? I was looking forward to seeing her.

Apparently she has been having boot issues that are as yet unresolved She's entered for CS Inge Solar Memorial, but I gather from what's said here that if her boot issues still aren't resolved then she will probably withdraw from that too.

Veronik Mallet is now out. This is not a good year for Canadian ladies. At this point they should just WD Alaine and pack her up in bubble wrap to some mystery tropical island.

[StitchMonkey]

Sounds like she aggravated an old injury.

 

[TGee]

Sounds like she aggravated an old injury.

She was out for all of last season with a serious injury.

Her return has been very strong, even if she was holding off on the harder triples.

One sincerely hopes that Veronik's set-back in rehabilitation isn't serious or long-term. And as she got her TES minimums at Finlandia, she can continue with healing and rehab until Canadian Nationals.

Radionova WD from NHK https://twitter.com/oro1_/status/1055798057470582785
