Her elegance and grace is missed tonight. I hope her recovery is going well.

Yay for Amber and Alyssa! I enjoyed Sarah, too. I also have to say that, for me, I think Bradie has grown so much as an artist. I am really happy to see that. I may be the only one, but I find new grown up Bradie to be very interesting to watch.
I might send Amber, Alyssa, and Isabeau to Worlds and Alyssa, Sarah, and Bradie to 4CC.

I expect a skate off at 4CC for sure - it would be the smart thing to do

I agree about Bradie. But, I also think she is skater you have to see live to fully appreciate. She is so fast and committed. I love the FS. The SP isn't a good match though...
Well Gracie was not exactly a great artistic skater with those airplane arms when she went to Worlds for the first time in 2013 with Ashley but because she had great speed power and jumps she still got big scores and helped get the 3rd spot back just in time for the Olympics.

When is 4CC? Isabeau might not be ready yet.

and congrats to Starr, 12th after the short, moves up to 6th after the long. Nicely done!

"Zero artistry" is harsh, but I'll concede your point that this is a weak area.
But what does she have? Confidence. Consistency. Grit. Rotation. I think that alone might be enough to earn a Top 10. That's a pretty good cleanup hitter when you're trying to get 3 Olympic spots. I find much to admire in Isabeau's skating, but she hasn't delivered at all this season - even before injury.

Starr did a live and she was sick as well. Her mother was making her tea and she was taking cough drops or sore throat lozenges or something.

Agreed. Why would they send Isabeau who only competed in 1 GP, and then dropped out for the rest of the season?? Also nuturing an injury? Sarah has very strong technique. She will most likely stand up and do well at worlds.

She scored a 194 in her only GP. Sarah's highest GP score is 196. So, the numbers don't agree that Sarah is going to outscore Isabeau. But, if Isabeau isn't ready then by all means Sarah should go. She is solid. She just likely won't make the top 8 unless it's a bad competition and she hits. (which I can't hope for)

I have loved Bradie since her Romeo and Juliet routine days. I felt like she was peaking just before her foot took her out.
I will forever be bitter that she and Rika were doing well in the quad era, felt they needed to learn quads to stay competitive (Rika quads, Bradie 3A) and their foot injuries took them out. Then quads were not needed but they were injured
Still it’s early days for Bradie so whilst she’s probably not going to make the Olympic team, she might have a Worlds spot again down the track!

If this were any other Worlds besides the one that determines Olympic spots, I could understand giving Isabeau the opportunity. It’s far too risky to give the opportunity to a skater whose health is so questionable and who hasn’t competed since October, especially considering that skater has such shoddy jump technique, a technique that favors a body under the age of 18. Isabeau will be 18 by the time Worlds comes around and her technique is clearly failing her now. I think the World team should be named Amber, Alysa, and Sarah. Had Sarah skated badly and barely held onto bronze, then the argumentative door for Isabeau could be opened, but Everhardt skated respectably here and she’s skated respectably all season long. Her jump technique is solid and she’s a reliable competitor with tough mentality.
I feel for Isabeau and it’s clear she is petitioning for the World team out of desperation because she knows that Olympic selection is heavily weighed on establishing a body of work from this season and the next Olympic season and she knows that the sands of time are quickly running down the hourglass.
