During the Big Boot Debacle, I had a feeling that Karen would withdraw. I hope she has a better time of it next season. Best of luck to Mariah.
As for the pairs, all the best to K/O, I hope that whatever is keeping them away isn't too severe. I'm delighted for Deanna and Nathan and look forward to seeing their programs again.
I hope Mariah Bell is a commentator for Ice Network in the futrue so we can have an updated version of the "You never know when you have to be ready to compete. I responded quickly to the call to go to 1998 Worlds" story that Tonia K always does!

I'm glad Mariah gets to go! She's a beautiful skater who could use the extra affirmation

Exactly. Tsurskaya is now bumped up to first alternate.

What? So Ashley or anybody else in the free world with an opinion, is now open to personal attac? Ashley critic the program and not the skater! Many observers agreed with her .
It seems to me Radinova and Liza T. should have been full out training. Now what a mess.
See Ashley`s twitter. She made the decision and informed Mariah in time.

Interesting. "A few months back..." So she decided she was ready to go to the Olympics, but not the Worlds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_EXBvO3NFc Anyway, I'm sad she declined. I think with the experience she has and a clean skate she could have been up there on the podium.
I am not relying on Mirai for anything. She was content with her individual performances at the Olympics and that was enough for me to write her off for Worlds. IMO, she is effectively retired in place---she got her trip to the Olympics and a bronze medal. In her mind, nothing else (other than the Oscars festivities) can measure up to that---including this Worlds.
Sadly, it does seem like that's accurate, but I hope she comes prepared and proves us wrong. I certainly wonder how her training has been going since the Oscars. Haven't heard anything. I'm actually surprised she hasn't withdrawn.

I get this feeling that US is not so much interested in getting 3 spots... with skaters backing out.
That said, I am glad Mariah will be given the chance to skate.

Nationals were in early January. It's entirely possible that she meant she decided soon after Nationals finished. That would only be a couple of months, but lots of people say 'few' when 'couple' would be more accurate.

Is there something wrong with that?Sorry but I can't see anything wrong with Ashley withdrawing at WC (except I am kinda disappointed not to see her there). But since she's practicing for the olympics and not for the WC, Ashley may have already set her mind that she will go at the Olympics but not in WC.
