Surely St.Paul has additional public rinks that she can go to after official practices???? Or is that against the rules now?
It has always been against the rules at any competition - once you are registered and particularly after your event has begun, you are not permitted to practice outside of the official venues.
It's a refreshing turn to see the USFSA not screw Mirai over.
Oh, for heaven's freaking sake...I would say that in case, they are actually bending over backwards to help her; they are certainly not required to provide additional practice in case of equipment failure and I would not have blamed them if they had said no!
