As I noted above Madeline needs to rethink her tech, as she's losing big points by having no high scoring jumps in the bonus area. That is why she does well in the SP but falls behind in the FS.

No, it's not. Obviously in an ideal world you want every little bit, but the difference in bonus between different jumps is not all that much.

What you said was Madeline "has the potential to beat the US women". There will be 3 US women in Beijing and two of them will skate in the team event. Madeline has to skate in both segments while the US women will do one each.

Current Seasons Best Scores:

#09 219.24 Alysa Liu
#17 210.34 Mariah Bell
#26 202.49 Karen Chen
#28 201.02 Amber Glenn
#35 192.14 Madeline Schizas

This is a side point, but you say that like it's a sure thing, but it's not. The US will almost certainly split men, and they may very well choose to split dance over the women. It's absolutely not for sure that the women will split.

The difference between Mariah Bell's and Madeline's FSs at Rostelecom in the bonus area was 2.7 points--not that much, but still significant. Mariah scored 140.98 in the FS and Madeline 124.32, so every little point counts if she wants to move up. Mariah also had all L4 spins and L4 steps, while Madeline's were all L3. The difference in the non-jump elements was 4.33 points.

But the important thing is that Madeline's PCS scores are well below the top US women's. High value jumps and higher levels on non-jump elements affect the Skating Score component, leading to higher PCS scores.
 
Jo talks more about his knee injury... he's done some treatment for it.. but it's still difficult for him to land the big jumps, so much that training quads is done with harness ... Jo says Olympics were a big dream for him but he knows his chances are extremely slim with how little skating he has been able to do... they considered another treatment for his left knee but that would have meant two weeks without training at all, and as Nationals are just around the corner, they opted not to do it. I feel so sad for Jo... such a wonderful talent but unable to express himself fully. I hope he will be able to fully recover after the season and come back strongly for another cycle.

Ruiter is not on the entry list for Nationals... so we will not be able to compare her to the other senior women this year.

That is so sad. I wanted to see her versus Schizas. Also, Canada needs Ruiter at Junior Worlds if they are to keep the two spots.

I don’t think the US women will do one each.
 
Is nationals in danger with the new Ontario shut down rules? I know they said that Olympic level athletes can still train but what about competitions?
