I agree, just saying that she CAN...
Emmy cannot stay junior; she can’t compete with the juniors doing 3A, triple-triples and quads.
OTOH...
Emmy cannot compete senior because she doesn’t have a triple-triple.
Emmy brings a lot to the table, IMO She may not have the technical goods, but she should continue to keep highlighting the strengths of her skating while she works on the other stuff. Her skating skills are really good and she has great performance ability.
I think she should move up senior and do what she can. I think she can continue to get Challenger events and continue to gain international experience.
No, she can be a senior internationally too, as she's in the same age category as Alina

Not sure how valid this is but I heard Karen is looking for a new coach. I'd like to see her with Raf and I think having rink competition could help her get into a good competitive mindset (which she obviously lacks most of the time)
I knew Ting left Vincent, but for whom?
Rumor mill (aka TSL) says Raf.
I like the idea of Raf training a small stable of international young ladies, but I'm more concerned about how it seems like only a very few of his top skaters seem to improve and get results, while others (Mariah, Michal, etc.) stagnate. As fans, we don't actually know who gets attention in the rink and who doesn't, but there's definitely speculation that a lot of Raf's skaters just don't get the attention of others.
Idk, if I was Ting, I would do my best to move to BOrser. I feel like getting to train alongside Evgenia would be inspirational.
I think Brian has enough on his plate right now. During competition season he must almost never even be at the rink because he is always away at internationals and GP. Moving to brian would just give her way less attention since Evgenia, Yuzuru, Stephen Gogolev, Jun Hwan and others would be more important.

I would not say it is just speculation.
His track record seems to prove it.
He better make Mariah a top priority!!
