Wonder who is next in line.
to replace Mai Mihara (JPN) at GP CHN

01 (24) 196.34 Yelim KIM (KOR) GP CAN
02 (34) 183.98 Young YOU (KOR) GP CAN
03 (39) 180.55 Marina PIREDDA (ITA)
04 (42) 179.88 Ekaterina RYABOVA (AZE) GP RUS
05 (45) 178.07 Courtney HICKS (USA)
06 (56) 172.02 Emmi PELTONEN (FIN) GP RUS
07 (57) 170.68 Veronik MALLET (CAN) - GP USA
08 (58) 170.56 Nicole SCHOTT (GER) GP FRA
09 (60) 170.33 Megan WESSENBERG (USA) - GP JPN
10 (61) 169.03 Nicole RAJICOVA (SVK)
11 (62) 167.84 Kailani CRAINE (AUS)
12 (63) 166.77 Eliska BREZINOVA (CZE)

almost all girls trained quite far away from China (Yelim and You trained in US), probably Ryabova is the closest since she trained in Russia.

Also i wonder if Tursynbaeva will skate at CoC or will she withdraw

Don't forget Shiika Yoshioka, who's ranked between Hicks and Peltonen ;)
She didn't compete at JGP so technically, she's eligible to replace Mihara

But indeed, the nearest possibilities are Korean... Fingers crossed for Young You.

Yelim is back in Korea training with a former coach. Fingers crossed for either one of them.

Did Piredda compete anywhere this season?

Marina was not impressive at Minsk, finishing 7th behind skaters like Kuchvalska and Taljegard.
She must be still recovering from her injury--no lutz, only one 3f< in her FS, plus 3t and 3s.

China is far more likely to choose a skater who is located in Asia.

Yes, Piredda has great interpretive skills. But she'd be at a disadvantage in the GP with such minimal tech. If the open spot was in Russia, she might just get it. But China doesn't worry about competition and will want a more local candidate anyway.

BTW, Marina is on the entry list for Golden Bear this weekend.

Courtney Hick's score at her REgional competition tells me she's not ready for international competition, even though I have a soft spot for her.

She is Junior skater who did not qualify to JGP team this season.
If she selected for Senior GP it is unfair for skaters who did JGPs.

Though she skated good (winning summer competiton and regional) after test skate for JGP in Jun.
