Any idea who the competitors are in the Aerial Challenge? Perhaps we’ll see Mia or Isabeau’s quads again.
 
Will Isabeau and/or Mia compete at Senior Nats this year? They could be real factors considering they’re consistent on all their triples and are now attempting quads. PCS will rise to be competitive [enough] as the season progresses.

Isabeau is a lovely, polished-Cohenesque type skater, but her speed and jump quality is still very much junior level. Since she won junior ladies last year she will probably compete as a Senior at Nationals. Mia might stay a Junior for another year, she too is very much junior level. The Junior ladies event at Nationals should be a great one this year, with a great glimpse into what we can expect in the next quad.

I don’t disagree, but it doesn’t really matter. Alysa competed at Senior Nats before she even entered juniors internationally. She lacked many things in PCS, but she still competed in Senior Nats and did well. Isabeau in particular could go senior internationally the year after this upcoming Olympic season, so it’d be quite normal for her to compete at Senior Nats this year.

Being “junior-ish” will be somewhat reflected in scores (as we saw Alysa lagged behind in PCS, even when landing difficult jumps) but my point is that being consistent on triples, and attempting/landing Ultra C elements will make anyone a factor at US Nats.

I do hope to see Isabeau at Senior Nats this year, though! It’d be standard for her to go especially if she’s competing senior in the next season. Mia, on the other hand, is a year younger, so who knows.
 
Does Alysa have her ultra jumps back to the point where she could have an outside shot at the Olympic podium? Hoping so and hoping shes through puberty.
 
Does anyone know if there will be a livestream from Skate Milwaukee later this week? I think I heard somewhere that a lot of the upcoming junior ladies that could get JGP assignments will be there.

ETA: I don't know if this is the right place to ask or if I should have created a thread under Summer competitions (I apologize in advance). :)
 
I'm very dissapointed that Bell isn't in A team.
She did win Skate America after all...

This is A Team requirements:

TEAM A – TIER 1

o 2021 U.S. champion combined with a top 5 placement at the 2021 ISU World Figure Skating Championships
TEAM A – TIER 2
o 2021 U.S. champion o Placements 4th – 10th at the 2021 ISU World Figure Skating Championships

Champion at any GP event is Team B, Tier 1.

Unfortunately, Mariah had a disappointing outing at Nationals. It was a surprise because she was so amazing the year before. After Skate America, I thought this might be her year to win it all. I hope she comes back motivated and stronger than ever. She'll need to be great to make the Olympic Team and she's been so close that I'd hate to see her miss out.
