annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd nathan's injured.
what?
annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd nathan's injured.
Just saw that.... he was put in a wheel chair.... is it too late to give Jason that bye? I think most would agree he fits the criteria better than Grant.
(1) I hope Nathan is not badly injured and will recover quickly. Wishing him the best.
(2) I am a Jason fan, but if USFS wanted him to be next in line, it should have named him as first alternate. It didn't.
God lord, you don't waste time do you??!
Brown fans, classy as always.
Or they don't want to spend the time and money on monitoring an alternative. John Coughlin talked about the process, and well, it is a process that humans are involved with. Maybe it is not worth it, or even in the procedure to give an alternate bye. Which to be honest does not seem impractical to me - so if word is back that Nathan is out (I hope his is not) within in 24 hours.... i kinda think they should give some thought to how to proceed.

I give USFS more credit than you do. I really don't think the logistical issues of monitoring Jason in Monument -- within shouting distance, so to speak, of Colorado Springs -- would stop USFS from giving him a bye.
Seems to me that monitoring Jason would be far more convenient than monitoring someone based in California or Georgia, for example.
Now can we just hug and move on?
.... humans still have to be paid, or volunteer their time. Yes the logistics make it easier... but I am not sure i like discounting the work involved. It would take time and money. And I was talking about the specific back to play monitoring for injuries... not something that would be happening to the other alternates.
But that's what they are paid to do

I too am talking only about monitoring of Jason.
I don't know how many people would be involved in such monitoring, but I assume that Mitch Moyer earns a salary from USFS, and I would guess that monitoring would be part of his job description, for example.
I mentioned the other theoretical locations only to emphasize that monitoring Jason would be relatively convenient, IMO.
Wow I thought Gracie would skip 4CC and Ashley would go to establish herself as a solid contender again. (Not that she's not already a contender but i mean she's now a third ranked US female)
As tinnychan pointed out, you can obtain minimum TES for JWC only through international junior events. Actually entries for international junior events up to Feb 21 are already closed, so I wonder whether USFSA is serious about sending Tyler to Junior Worlds...
Found this on the ISU website
Skaters/couples participating in the ISU World Junior Figure Skating Championships 2016 must have reached in an ISU recognized International Competition (as defined by Article 38, paragraph 7 and Rule 107, paragraphs 1 to 9) during the ongoing season (2015/16) or immediately preceding season (2014/15).
Tyler competed at 2015 Jr Worlds. I'm sure she has meet the min TES requirement.
World Junior min TES is 20/35
Tyler got 25.14/33.99
So she has the SP, but not the FS.
What about Junior world from 2014 would that be too old?
no Mirai:angry1:
