I'm not sure but I'd like to see the ISU make an exception, given the circumstances, to give both China and Italy each a host pick for each event. The Chinese athletes hoping to compete shouldn't be penalized for this move.

Seeing Turin and Grenoble are less than a 3 hr drive apart
Had those been back to back it would've been phenomenal

They pulled Gutmann from JGP Slovakia, so I think you can infer that they are.

Finland got them, i don't see why Italy shouldn't
Agree. But then again, the Finland/China swap was done a lot earlier wasn't it?Finland got them, i don't see why Italy shouldn't
Nevertheless - I want to see those Italian girls and boys!!
Based on some semi-lite googling, it was announced in June that Cup of China would not happen in November, and it was before assignments had went out. The ISU would be right to not allow China 'host spots' since China is not hosting an event and give the hosting spots to the actual hosting nation.

That's what I thought. It was a lot earlier. But anyway, host spots should be given to the host I'd say, so it doesn't matter. Italy is the host so there is no question imo.

But if China gives up its host spot, then either Boyang or Han Yan won't get a GP assignment

Theoretically, Boyang and Han Yan are each guaranteed a spot, so they aren't just host picks and Gabrielle is probably Italy's only GP-level candidate in men's, so he should take Yudong's spot.But if China gives up its host spot, then either Boyang or Han Yan won't get a GP assignment
Poor Yudong. I was looking forward to see him. He has a nice potential. His 3A isn't the most consistent but he has a quad and good 3-3s.
This is his last competition i think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6R0YRBotkw
Too bad he can't skate in JGP anymore.

Do I understand this correctly? Italy don't get any host spots...??

Sounds like it yes. To bad for especially for the women. I had hoped Lara could get a host spot.Do I understand this correctly? Italy don't get any host spots...??

That really makes me furious. For women, for starters, both Gutmann and Tornaghi had better SBs than Hongyi Chen, the highest ranked chinese woman at 56th in 2020.
If the Chinese federation has any decency, they will withdraw their men and women - pronto.
