I agree. It a starting point to see if the rules help or hurt them.
As far as inconsistent during season,
I wrote down all the scores during the skating season for each of the early name entries.
All the events they skated in from the Olympics to challenger to other international to junior world and grand prix and started comparative.
It isn't one skate but the many the skater did during season.
Put those scores in order from highest to lowest for each grand prix event plus their personal best.

I expect due to change the scores be lower .

Some examples comparing seasons:

Olivia Lisko scored 196.23 this season that is +42 points compared to the season before.
Starr Andrews scored 195.28 - +30 points from the season before

On the flip side we have:
Chaeyeon Kim scored 188.22 - that is -34 points compared to previous season.
Elyce Lin-Gracey scored 175.80 - that is -37 points compared to last season.

So a lot can change between seasons...

Yes. As pointed out Olivia Lisko personal best score in the 2024/2025 was roughly 142. This season 2025/2026 her personal best score is 196. However one of her lowest scores is 157.

Chaperone personal best is a 225. Her lowest score is 148. She has a 187 188

I didnt do Starr Andrew's or elyce Lynn gracey as they are not listed on the 2026/2027 entries

I did not go back to the 2024/2025 season scores

As stated a rough start point
as I mentioned i use the personal best scores , 2025/2026 season best scores , and the 2025/2026 season skating event scores

No not perfect but are comparable
Olivia did well to best her previous personal best at one event

Chaeyong did not her best is alot lowe.
she was having issues this season and it showed in scores

Yes a person can use them to see if new score help or hurts

Thev+5/-5 and other are different.
Different criteria
But same : urs , falls
.different is the amount of the jump

Triple lutz was a 6.6 then dropped to a 6.0 then dropped to a 5 something
which affects scores

The skate skates same jumps and spins.
The scores is changed based on base score of jump, spin, combo and howvto get those

So starting point from one season to next.

Honestly, I’d be happy for Adelia and Petr if they had the chance to compete in the Grand Prix. It must have been a lot of pressure for them competing at the Olympics. I thought they both handled themselves well, considering the circumstances.

I'm just hoping that it doesn't mean a new Copyright nightmare for Petr Gumennik!

Well... that's a lot of IFs
First, he needs to be given assignments.
Second, do we know which programs he is skating to?
Third, Copyright issues were mostly a problem for the Olympics not other events.
Fourth, even if there were more Copyright issues, one could assume (that's my IF, if all the other IFs are not relevant) he would get permission at this point, knowing that he has had that issue earlier on ?

I'm such a dummy with Copyright matters... Was it more difficult a process for Olympic Games than for other competitions?

Yes. For instance, people skate to Prince's music all the time.. but for the Olympics, it was not welcomed. That's why, for instance, Lauriault and Le Gac had to change their RD.

I wonder why! Unless of course, they want to skate to a commercial for a brand. (Which, given the number of brands having had commercials on Carmen arias, might forbid a composer who even if he hadn't died so young, would still have been dead since well over 70 years.)

I think it may have been related to much wider TV broadcast of olympics and contracts with those TV broadcasters who may have a strickter approach. Also, it was run by IOC, not ISU, so it was different organization to assess the validity of licenses provided by skaters which may have led to different outcome. But I'm not an expert, it's just my intuition.
 
Chatgpt answered this, I think this is it:
At the World Championships, the competition organizer has been able to acquire licenses that cover the event. Below, an alternative figure skater or gymnast can use a good song without problems.At the Olympic Games, competitions are practically all over the world. The rights required for music are very extensive for TV, streaming and recording. The rights to all songs cannot be acquired under these conditions or would be very expensive. The competition organizer is usually responsible for ensuring that the music played at the competition venue and the broadcasts of the event are properly licensed. The organizer obtains the necessary permits either themselves or in cooperation with the sport's federation and television companies.
This also explains why in some small comps sometimes music are muted. The organizer has not bought rights.

I don't trust this is quite the right answer and honestly, chatgpt is often wrong. Blanket licenses were obtained for the Olympics or else there wouldn't have been any music at all. However, the problem is that some artists or some songs are not covered by the blanket licenses. Some artists for instance, never sign up with the music rights licensing organizations. For these artists, rights must be obtained separately, and often that permission will rely on the shoulders of the skaters. That's why we heard from some skaters that they were negotiating with the Prince estate etc who didn't like the idea of Prince's music in the context of the Olympics... Or the Minions story... Granted one exceptional play by the right holders
So , the problem is not that it would be very hard to get the permission for all music played. The reality is that some artists are not covered with the licenses that exist
The IOC and/or the organizing country for the games did purchase their licenses. But things like Prince and I guess some Disney were not license material and needed to be negotiated separately by the athletes. Maddie Schizas and Skate Canada managed to get approval for Lion King. I'm no expert but I trust myself more than chatgpt who was not able to tell me which 8 ATP titles milos Raonic won just a few minutes ago.. Wikipedia knew. The ATP site knew. Chatgpt didnt ( well it was Gemini but same difference)

Question.
Because the Russian are allowed to skate they have high season scores and finished in top 6 at Olympics , Is it possible that they could get a TBD gp events before others even though host spots?

Would they be assigned to Challengers?

Could they skate for Armenia or some other country . Would br Russia orvAIN

Would they be the only Russian senior skaters allowed to skate?
 
In regards to Jimmy Ma. I thought once assigned to Event he get funding and be in envelope
.
He not assign to envelope.
Since it pre . Is he still skating or will skate in France? Did he let them no he wasn't skating anymore.
When do they have to know formally they are or aren't skating in Gp ?

Is this old
Has anyone heard anymore of senior i. Gp or challengers?
