Congrats to these two on being assigned to World Team Trophy! Can't wait to see them again!
Side note: Ashley and Timothy were fabulous cheerleaders at the WTT with the patriotic onesie and glitter beard.
I was disappointed that Ashley and Time weren't included in the media call this past week for Olympic Hopefuls. I hope that they come out next season ready to show even more how great they can be together.
I'd say that the spot isn't just for Alexa and Chris. I think it will depend on the advances that Ashley and Tim make over the comping year, specifically if they make the Grand Prix and if they do well. They have an upward momentum that Chris and Alexa don't have. So time will tell, but if they continue to improve, they certainly have a solid chance.
Weren't they? What a shame. I hope they don't feel discouraged by it but continue working on what they are doing. They have a great presence on ice and commanding posture and SS.
Here's some photos I took of C/L at CoC (warmup, SP, K&C)

I can't even begin to imagine how nauseating it would feel to go for triple jumps and throws and spins while suffering from some kind of stomach flu...During the men's LP, it was mentioned that Javi had been battling an intestinal flu/virus. He wasn't the only one. I follow Ashley Cain on Twitter & a few hours ago she tweeted that she also had been ill, since Friday. And thanked Timothy, her team & USFS folks for being so supportive.
As part as a response to her, I asked about their not wearing their usual Gatsby costumes. She Tweeted back that her dress is so tight that it was pressing against her stomach and causing her pain. They decided to wear practice costumes instead.
