The last Art on Ice show is tomorrow, so I think we will get an update soon...

I really dislike TSL and i´m glad that after that comment it ruined the entire reputation and the site went down the toilet. One thing though that usually was accurate was that all the gossip he came with before it was official usually had something to it, which unfortunately is the reason he used to have a lot of followers. I doubt that he has gotten it from C/B himself but he is known for having the right sources. However - it seems likely they are not going so if he placing out false rumours to try to get some attention again it´s a high chance it will be true.

There seems to be widely known in the figure skating community that there are more skaters not going. Jackie Wong said he heard directly from some skaters at Olympic that they are not going, and that we should expect more WD. Emily and Vadym accidently slipped on a TikTok live that not everybody from the US Olympic team are going to Worlds, before they corrected themselves right after and said that it´s not decided yet (I do think they know, but they just realized it´s not official). I also think Mark Hanretty knows - but also corrected himself later because he realized it´s not official yet. I think all of these clues leads to C/B not going.

Hmm. Interesting. I wonder why the US Figure Skating team is drawing out the suspense like this?

Maybe because they've named the team and they've named the alternates, and nothing has changed?

If someone drops out, they'll announce it.

Maybe the alternates already know but the ones who will withdraw wait for the right moment to announce it? For some it could be retirement

Is ‘The Skating Lesson’ the site owned by the guy who made inappropriate remarks after the plane crash?

I totally missed that. What did he say?

 

[Janice4th]

I totally missed that. What did he say?

Basically said that some of the kids who died were not destined for elite success anyway it came across that their death was no real loss to the skating community.

Wow how can you even think something like that and even say it in public... what a heartless person

Alysa Liu out, Sarah Everhardt in

another non-surprise w/d. only one olympic champion team remains... I doubt they will w/d since they are so new . but yeah... still three weeks to go.

 

[cocteautwin]

Was Sarah first alt? I thought I would be Bradie, considering her results this season, both on GP and US nats. Maybe she declined.

 

[FlossieH]

Great opportunity for Sarah.

Alysa Liu out, Sarah Everhardt in

I googled this and it does not say Liu is out but I had heard rumors this and I. but why Sarah over bradie. Who would think that three spots for the USA in ladies could actually possibly be anissue. It shouldn't but the olympic results of Amber and Isabeau would not be good enough for three spots. I thought Bradie was first alternate.. I know you have to be careful what you read now adays with AI and all. I am worried about Ilia as he is so busy and I did read something his mom said he is exhausted physically and mentally but I am not sure if this is true. THe withdrawls of so many top pairs teams for whatever reason - Sui and Han, Japan, Deanna and Max (I wouldn't them to have a wonderful swan song), and now coni and Maci really creates a situation like the Olympics when the thrown together to go to the olympics team of James nd Radford were formed and won bronze post olympic worlds. I am shocked that Sarah got to go over Bradie though I guess Sarah is the future and Bradie seems like she has been around forever. Reading from the above posts I guess we wait and hope for Kaori, Piper and Paul, and Ilia to see if they compete. Hoping they will.

Kaori confirmed to Japanese media that she will be there. And I don't really know the order of the alternates they decided on after USNats, I can only post what's on the entry list - which is Alysa is now listed as substitute and Sarah is going to compete.

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

Bradie has posted on her instagram that she has given up her spot for Worlds. So she was indeed first alternate and not going was her own decision.

That makes sense, thank you for clarifying.

 

[CellarDweller]

Did Alysa give a reason for her WD? Are Amber and Isabeau still going?

Piper and Paul confirmed in an interview at a hockey game last Saturday night that they are going to Worlds.

Here is the Sportsnet video clip of P2's interview about Worlds -- it's the 3rd one:
