I see a post about Ten above.. I heard he wasn't going because of his tough season with injuries, but maybe he's changed his mind..
I'm not sure Jeremy is a lock for Worlds. He intends to go- but he had an injury- that takes time to heal, and there's not much time. I doubt we will know for sure until he is back on the ice training. Will he be able to get all his jumps back before Worlds?
So don't worry, Jeremy-haters, you may still get your wish.

You can't ever trust wikipedia. I can change it right now to say that Dick Button is making a surprise comeback if I wanted to.
If they don't quote a separate source, it may or may not be accurate. (Heck, it may be inaccurate if they DO quote another source.)
It's possible it comes from the original entries & alternates list that each skating federation may have submitted to the ISU for Worlds earlier this season.
But you're right that the official Worlds website doesn't yet have any skaters entered yet:

I assume that will change over the next week or so. The Olympics just ended yesterday so once skaters get back home and figure out their plans with their federations, the entries will presumably appear.

It's funny how people seem to forget that Adelina has always gotten great scores. Russian inflatation at the Olympics or not, Adelina got good scores already the seasons before, and it was always clear that if she'd get her act together, she'd be the best lady around minus the top 3 of Mao, Caro and Yuna. With Yuna definitly retired, Adelina will very likely make the worlds podium if she can skate like she did at the Olympics.
I want more than that just "without mistakes" :-D
I want to see it both clean AND with the expression/emotion/passion he put into it at GPF! :-D
BTW, he has landed the 4S in his FS... at Finlandia Trophy, at the beginning of the season, October 2013. Clean sheet there, except for an edge violation on his 3F... but -GOE for 3Lz and 3A... and he really wasn't at all ready to put his expression/emotion/passion into it at that time.
I don't know where the Wiki information came from, but I notice that a lot of the entries there have now been deleted. There is now nothing listed for Canada like there was a few days ago.

Perhaps that makes sense since Skate Canada's page has no entries under the Assignments section yet:

Well, I'm going!
As for Akiko and Daisuke: from what I've read/watched various news so far, while they want to compete there, in front of their home crowds one last time, it's not confirmed yet: it depends on how well they can recover from injuries respectively in time for the worlds, since they also have to remind themselves before decision that their undesirable lower placements (due to competing while injuried) might affect securing three spots for Japan next season...just thinking of if they are to miss the worlds, skating fans in Japan never able to see them skate again, and/or can't even say goodbye to them...makes me really

I agree that it would be truly sad not to be able to see them compete one final time. World's would be the poorer for it. But, thankfully, hopefully Japanese fans will get to see them skate many, many times... in shows! At least Japan is a country in which skating shows are alive and well! Obviously I know that you know that
- but I just wanted to point to such a cheerful fact.

Meryl and Charlie were on the Today Show this morning and skated a short version of their SD. It was so cold outside that Meryl kept her
fleece jacket on as they skated. Before they skated they were asked about the future and Charlie answered (paraphrasing here) Worlds
was coming up but that they had not made a decision about attending but they did confirm that they would be skating in SOI!

Or not so exciting. Remember Kimmie Meissner. A bit of a snore fest.

Truthfully what man is all that consistent other than bygones Plushy to a point in the end Evan. Hanyu recently is great at the short GPF, Nationals, Team event and oly individaul but really with the men trying to up their skating skills, transitions and jumps no one is all that consistent. Hanyu is known to falter in the long, Enough about Chan who stumbles and falls on the axel and something near the end, in the ladies you really only have Yuna as the baby Russian ballerinas can't even figure out who is no. 1 in their own nation, I hope Dai isn't another Fumie - he is already starting to fade injuries or otherwise and his free skate this year was no marvel musically or program like usual.

Have to agree with SkaterBoy. I think until quads became such a big thing that many of the men were more than capable of hitting strong and clean programs. Not so much anymore. I personally wish they'd outlaw the jump(s) because it always detracts from the programs. I realize the quad isn't the issue with Patrick but I thought the men's long program overall at the Olys was as bad as any I've ever seen....and I blame it on the pressure to do those big jumps. But I do disagree with you on Dai's Oly program. I was never a fan of Daisuke's but I thoroughly enjoyed his long program and would love for that to be the last I see of him. I loved the music, his costumer, the choreography... He's been a great competitor. Maybe it wasn't the way he usually attacked a program but it was pleasing to me. And his hair didn't look like he'd stuck his finger in a light socket. I also enjoyed Brian Joubert - and never thought I'd say that.
Why is it so hard for these people to acknowledge "the end!" I don't have any great expectations for Worlds and would only get excited about them if I thought Jason would be skating RiverDance again.

Does anyone know if V/T are going?
In another thread someone just posted that they're doing the Art On Ice tour which runs through March 13th so I would guess that they're not going.

Oh REALLY they said they are not sure about Worlds??? Strange. I thought in their interviews after Sochi they did say they were going... I was nearly certain they said it in the one with Michelle Kwan at least, and possibly some others.
