2022-23 Grand Prix assignments

I don't get why Starr Andrews got the spot at SC. She was only 15th on the replacement list. Kiibus, Kitromilis, Paganini and a LOT of Korean girls ahead of her.

I would guess Visa problems could have something to do with it, since people have WD from SC because of that, my guess it´s easier for an US skater to get hold of that? Anyways, if it was a host spot it was up to SC to decide I think?

Iit wasnt host spot and EU citizen does not need visa for entering Canada...its seem more that bigger federatiin has used his power...Starr Andrew is 27 places behind Kiibus on Season best list. So...

Easier for a US skater, fine.. but Canada has a lot of agreements with other countries too which means many skaters ahead of Starr could have come without visa being an issue.

After examining the Replacement List for women, there are some skaters still skating in juniors, and wd/quotas/already assigned makes Andrews move up to 8th place on the Replacement List. The host nation can pick anyone out of the top 10, so I guess that's why Andrews got the spot.

Ekaterina Ryabova of Azerbaijan has retired. I wish her well.
There is an open spot for NHK Trophy. I wonder wholl receive the coveted spot of skating in Japan??

 

[surimi]

I'd like to see Josefin Taljegård the most! Or Eva Lotta, but she competes the week after NHK, and I don't think she could make it from Japan to Finland in one week's time and be competition ready. Same for Alexia Paganini who competes in the UK the week before NHK. Too bad Gracie or EunSoo cannot be selected as the US and Korea are already maxed out on spots at NHK. Maybe Lindsay van Zundert or Gabby Daleman, then? Kailani Craine is another option, she doesn't have a GP at all, like Josefin.

Nina Pinzarrone is out of both of her GP events due to injury Quick recovery to her!
This could be a chance for Eva Lotta, EunSoo, Alexia, Gabby or Gracie to get another GP.

Gracie Gold is not eligible for a GP replacement spot, only for the host spot. She would have to win a Challenger Event first to get added to the GP alternates list, afaik.

^^ and at this point, not even sure Gabby will do Skate Canada... I read she was in a serious car accident and her back was hurt.. she just started to skate again. I have no source... no idea of the details etc... but considering her bad luck. i wouldn't be surprised it that were true. She also withdrew from Skate Ontario Summer Sectionals...

Eunsoo withdrew from her only assignment, so I assume she not going to be assigned to a different Grand Prix.

I read that too about Gabby on Twitter, she even reposted it on her Twitter-account, so unfortunately it means it´s true So much bad luck, car accident sounds scary as hell!

Edit: Here is the source, that Gabby retweetet:

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Since they picked Starr for SC from the top 10 replacement list, maybe they will pick another US skater. If Izzo is on the top 10 replacement list, she might be picked since she only have one GP. But I don´t know if she is.

For NHK trophy they can´t pick US skater since they already have 3 skaters. So my guess would be Eva Lotta or Alexia there.

We used to have a thread about Injuries and Ills, but it hasn't been around for a while, and I had no idea Gabby was injured. Very sad to hear that, wishing her a complete recovery as well. That's a lot of bad luck...

Harris/Chan to Skate America (replacing Reed/Ambrulevicius)

Tomoki Hiwatashi to GP Sheffield (replacing Litvintsev)

With Hiwatashi receiving a 2nd assignment, Eric Sjoberg got the last Skate America host pick in Men

Stsrr Andrew wasnt even top 10 in replacement list...but thats the way it is. So unfair lot of others

Eunsoo Lim - wd from SC, probably not eligible for another event
4. Yeonjeong Park - has one spot
Nina Pinzarrone - got two spots now
5. Yuhana Yokoi - has one spot
Clare Seo - competing in JGP
6. Marilena Kitromilis - has one spot
7. Alexia Paganini - has one spot

11. Ava Marie Ziegler
12. Lindsay van Zundert - has one spot
13. Eliska Brezinova - has one spot
Rion Sumiyoshi - got two spots now
14. Seoyeon Ji - has one spot
15. Yi Zhu - has one spot

18. Julia Sauter - has one spot
19. Emmi Peltonen - has one spot
20. Jenni Saarinen - has one spot
21. Alison Schumacher - has one spot

These are the eligible skaters on the list. Lots of questionmarks if some skaters will move to seniors??

In case of a WD, the host nation must choose anyone from the top 10.

You can get into the Replacement List if you win a Challenger event this season. That's how Nika Egadze got his GP spot last year.

I wonder what happens if the Replacement List runs out of options (which could very well happen this year!). Can the host nation assign anyone or do they have to leave the spot vacant...?

Replacement List for Women - UPDATED


3. Minchae Kim - will Korea let her skate in seniors?
4. Chaeyeon Kim - will Korea let her skate in seniors?

Both are entered in JGPs (one in Yerevan and one in the first Gdansk stage). You can't do both Senior and Junior GPs in the same season in the same discipline.

Yeah, I suspected that. Pity though. WIthout the Russian women this season, the Koreans have the chance to really rival Japan at the top of the women seniors. The Koreans really have so much depth on the women side. I guess that is an after effect of Yuna Kim being a national hero 10+ years ago.
I will update the list.
