OMG! Jason, Alaine, Piper and Paul, and Gracie doing Skate America?! I WANNA GO!!!!!
My predictions for Gracie and Ashley were switched! I did not see that, I thought Ashley would get Skate America for sure
My guesses for Yuzuru was right, NHK and a North American one but I only got 1 out of 2 right for Javier (that he would go to a European one). For Elena R. I was wrong that she would be at SA but right in that she gets COR. Elizaveta announced hers beforehand and Mao got my predictions for Satoko, can't wait to see her back

My guess is that it is due to injury. I think she just had surgery.
Mariah Bell got Skate America! I'm really glad to see her get some love, Elizabet Tursynbaeva gets 2 and Karen Chen only has one but there's still a spot open at Skate America hmmmm
Glad to see Kaetlyn Osmond back, hope she stays healthy!

Yes, D/F were pretty much guaranteed 2 spots this year due to their scores last year and rankings, so I'm guessing it's because of her injury... :no: Better safe than sorry though and they're still quite young.
:dance:
NHK is like a mini 2012-2013 JGP reunion. First head-to-head match up between Boyang Jin and Jason Brown since 2012 Courchaval (Boyang won) and the 3 out of the 4 JGPF folks from that season (Maxim, Josh and Jason. Obviously they faced each other at Worlds, but this is the first GP head-to-head matchup.)
I bet Shoma will get the host pick. With Yuzuru there also, and Dornbush, shoukd be fun to watch.

Gracie got Skate America over Ashley! You know, when I first thought about what the GP assignments might be, I had a strong feeling this would happen since Gracie had beaten Ashley at Worlds. But everyone in the predictions thread was sure that Ashley would get SA.
Oh well. Bring on the
