Is Sasha Fear related to Lilah?
I believe they're sisters.

Does PJ’s win means he is going to Worlds?
It’s very likely. However Graham Newberry still has a higher international PB this season. They might send them to Challenge Cup again for a skate off, but as it is PJ is the only one with the tech minimums. If Graham can get the minimums I think they might consider a switch but usually NISA/British Ice Skating do honour the Nationals result.
At the very least I’d assume this makes him a lock for Euros. I think the likelihood of PJ going to Worlds is over 80%.
I also expect to still see Tweedale/Buckland as the second choice for Euros even though they didn’t compete. They were at Nationals though and showed off their new RD so I’m not sure of the story there...

Thanks Caroliza. I’m actually watching the F1 too but I will be tuning into nationals later!
The selection criteria should be the following
ISU CHAMPIONSHIPS
SELECTION AND QUALIFICATION
The following process will be followed for any ISU Championship event on the condition that the athlete(s) has achieved the minimum total technical score as set by the ISU for the relevant season. Dates of selection meetings will be advertised on the Timeline7.
Each GB Performance Squad athlete(s)/team will have their current season’s best score taken from any ISU-listed International or ISU Grand Prix in the same category as the Championship event, where entered by British Ice Skating, totalled with twice the season’s British Championship score at the same category. All scores obtained before the selection meeting date will be considered. In normal circumstances, the athlete/team with the highest total score will usually be considered for selection. All scores are relevant whether achieved as a GB Performance Squad member or not, and lower-squad level athletes/teams will also be considered on this basis.
GB Performance Squad athletes who only have an international score will also be considered within the calculations for the relevant category.
DE-SELECTION FROM AN ISU CHAMPIONSHIP EVENT
British Ice Skating reserves the right to consider for selection other athletes/teams in lieu of the athlete/team with the highest score in any circumstances where:
(i) British Ice Skating considers, in their sole discretion, that the other athlete/team are likely to produce a better performance at the event, but failed to achieve the highest score for a valid reason including, but not limited to, their previous non-attendance, withdrawal or under-performance at any relevant ISU-listed International event, Grand Prix, or British Championships, whether such was due to injury, or otherwise; or
(ii) British Ice Skating considers the other athlete/team are likely to produce a better performance at this specific event owing to the subsequent injury or loss of form of the athlete/team with the highest total score; or
(iii) the athlete or any member of the team with the highest score has breached the Athlete Agreement.
So best International score is taken in consideration but Nationals are weighted twice.
Point (i) of the second section will likely be used for Tweedale/Buckland.
A good week for Emily Rose Brown and James Hernandez - they missed out on a bronze medal at Jr Golden Spin by just 0.09 following their junior British title at the weekend!
