Interesting interview! Mirai has such a nice, sweet voice.

Mirai is so candid and thoughtful. Thank you for sharing!
After watching the interview, I am an even bigger Mirai fan.
What a treat to hear from Mirai about her skating career and its many ups and downs. I'm glad she seems to be in a good place now with her training and life in general. If they had more time, I would've liked to hear more about her studies and how she is balancing training with school as well as what she'd like to do after she's done competing. Plus Tom Z mentioned she has a bf in another interview, inquiring minds want to know who he is! LOL

Well looks like Colorado is hell after all because we are currently frozen over right now and then this just happens.

I screamed. YAaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I'm so happy for Mirai!
When Polina's Pre-Worlds press conference was cancelled, it seemed probably that something was not going well for Polina unfortunately. It does seem Mirai has been training, doing her duty as an alternate and presumably has been able to maintain some sense that this could happen. It seems, well handled (and in a class way) from both Polina's camp and for Mirai's and US Figure skating's benefit.
All the best for both ladies - Polina to heal fully and for Mirai as she heads to Boston.

Hopefully Mirai has been training all along, as much as I'm thrilled to see her at Worlds it's really unfortunate that she only gets about a week's notice.
I really don't know how much the alternates usually stay fully trained. It must be hard when your season is probably over and you want a break and to look towards next season but you still have to keep practicing the same programs. I would guess that if you have a good reason to think you might be called in you'd be training more. (i.e. I would assume the Russian first alternate pairs team has probably been waiting to see if Stolbova/Klimov will actually compete and have been prepared to step in at any point) But for Mirai, maybe since Ashley had that hard fall a few weeks back she's been more diligent with her training? Other than that she wouldn't have had a real reason to think she would be expected to go to Worlds.

So happy for Mirai that she gets to skate at Worlds for the first time in 5 years. She expressed in the TSL interview that she wanted to go and was continuing her training as an alternate, so I think she'll be prepared.
I missed her skating live when she was in NYC a few weeks ago, so I'm thrilled to be able to see her compete in Boston next week!

Good luck to Mirai. I think she deserves to be at worlds this year after having such a great season. She probably wont be placed that high in the rankings, but I hope she has a respectable skate and shows off to the international judges how much she has improved since last year.
