Possibly? Yes.

But likely??? A matter of endless debate -- as discussed in multiple other threads.

The consensus is that Nathan is likely (or even more than likely).

Max Aaron and Adam Rippon are very much in contention for the other two spots.

Tanaka's name is Keiji. Not Kenji.

I think it will be Nathan Chen, Vincent Zhou and Max Aaron. Vincent will have to earn it at Nationals, though.

I think the American me is an interest battle brewing. nathan is in for sure. Jason is the darling but if Nathan lands his jumps then it leaves Max, Adam and Jason. If Adam skates cleanly I would pick him. He has the beautiful skating of Jason and the tech elements and I do think Jason should be questioned for his lack of quad - even if he got one now it is pretty late to deem it consistent.

I think the 2nd spot for mens and 3rd spot for ladies is very wide open. It will depend on placements at Nationals, since I don't think they are guaranteed like Patrick, Kaetlyn or Gabby. They will have to earn it. Alaine has not been doing great, but neither have Sarah or Larkyn. As for the men, nobody is very consistent but Elijah, Liam, Nic, Nam, Roman, Keegan or Kevin could show up to place 2nd.

I only really care about the Ladies teams because that's the only event I'm attending at the Olympics and so there are certain skaters I want to see:

I think will be at Olympics and I'm glad they will be there:

Medvedeva
Zagitova
Osmond
Daleman
Chen
Nagasu
Wagner
Kostner
Tursynbaeva
Craine

Questionables but I wish they were in Olympics:

Miyahara
Honda
Tsurskaya
Sotskova

Who I think will be in instead of the above:

Higuchi
Mihara (I don't mind Mai but I prefer to see Miyahara or Honda)

So for me it's the Japanese Ladies that's a huge question mark with some wishful thinkings and the 3rd spot Russian ladies.

Mirai
