The Aussies: Brooklee Han, Brendan Kerry, and dancers O'Brien/Merriman.
Zoltan Keleman.
Michael Christian Martinez, I think he's already been confirmed by Phils Fed as their men's rep.
Kemp & King (pairs), Reeds (dance)

sad for Christopher Caluza, he converted to represent Flip instead of USA for nothing now! Chris is very artistic skater

Mao. Since the beginning of last season she has only failed to win one competition, so I don't see how three Japanese women would earn spots ahead of her. Ashley also, because there are not three better American women to bump her off and even if she bombs Nationals she is the only skater who can score high enough to be in a position to medal if any of the top 3 make errors.

Depends on the injury as well as on the person. No one's going to go out there with a leg broken in two places, and no one's going out there if they've broken their neck either. Catastrophic events do happen.

I think the point of this thread was to determine who's Olympic spot is safe, barring a catastrophic injury

Absolutely no way any of these skaters are not at the Olympics barring an enormous injury. There were many I consider extremely likely but not quite the mortal lock to be added to these lists.

You should exclude Kiira from your list. She is injured and because of that she couldn't skate in Nebelhorn. Juulia Turkkila replaced her but didn't qualify with her double jumps... No Olympics for Kiira. :no:

I like your list, but I would add Plushenko, if he is healthy enough to go. He is a legend of the sport and an Olympics in Russia will give him a fitting farewell to his amateur career.
