Tiiiime for a power list!!
1) Zhenya. Says her injury isn't serious, still wins with 2 mistakes. Invincible Zhenya!
2) Alina. Two wins! And she has won over Masha, Kaetlyn, Wakaba, and Mai.
3) Wakaba. Robbed of silver at Rostelecom Cup, she is still insane when she's on even if she doesn't make the final.
4) Maria. Two silvers, consistent tanos, and a well-known coach. I love her skating.
5) Kaetlyn. Overscored, yes. Consistent in FS for messing up but her SP is divine.
6) Polina. She can move up after SA in the list if she wins, which she's likely to do. Ashley hasn't scored 210 in a while (worlds 2016 I think) which was Polina's GP debut score.
7) Mai. Underscored in both of her events. She's a wonderful skater and wonderful to watch.
8) Mirai. Yes, she hasn't had the best GP series, but she's the leading US lady right now I'd say. Fourth at NHK is a huge accomplishment even if Ashley got a bronze (with ten points less!)
9) Elena. Not onto her old form but still a joy to watch. Bronze at CoC is a huge accomplishment.
10) Satoko. She's wonderful and her skating is just superb in everything but she's only been jumping for a few weeks now. She has a chance at SA to get the silver or bronze but I think that Polina will win.
Oh yeah, I forgot Kostner. The way I can forget her bland, overscored programs? Yes, yes.
I don't really know where to rank her. I'd like to rank her 9 or 10 on here but the judges think otherwise.
I wanted Wakaba in the final so badly. But unless something crazy happens at SA it’s probably impossible now
You think Ashley has a huge chance to win SA?? Over Tsurskaya who just got 210 at NHK? When was the last time Ashley scored that high, even at home?
I also don't think Ashley can be considered a medal favorite at this point...
Just for fun (and fright), here are the season's best scores, but only including the number of skaters allowed to compete per country at the olympics (going by the list on the first page of this thread)...

Leccardi is, her birthdate is 2001.Really great and informative!!
I don't think Eunsoo Lim or Elisabetta Leccardi are age-eligible, if that's what you were hoping to include
Lim Eunsoo is too young, unfortunately. Also (27) 97 140.24 Elisabetta LECCARDI ITA What happened to Roberta? Did she retire? I lurked her fan fest and there's nada.
Leccardi is, her birthdate is 2001.
(30) KAZ #2 ???
Aiza Mambekova is the only other Kazakh skater besides Tursynbaeva to currently have the TES minimums. Though she's apparently dealing with injury right now so I'm not sure if she'll be ready to compete by February.
I agree. But Lenok was bronze in 2015, as Miyahara was silver.
^ Awesome spreadsheet.
Maybe I'll tackle dance for you.
