Yeah, with the way things are going in Canadian women's singles, she might have at least a shot at a Worlds spot.
Okay let's don't get too crazy. She still would need some consistent bigger triples like at least the flip or lutz. Things could change if Daleman continues to heal and Kaetlyn comes back in reasonable shape Julianne would be fighting for bronze which is a non world going spot. I wonder after WTT will Chartrand pack it in if she doesn't show some glimmer.
this is julianne at 16 at 4cc..

2 lutzes, a salchow, 2 toes were landed etc
the point i am making though is that although a competent jumper, she shines more in pairs.
so is there anyone left for julianne?
skaterboy.. julianne has all her triples but the axel... gosh... you should get some knowledge before judging.
She no longer "has" all those triples and she was never the most consistent. 4everchan you should think before you write. Saying someone has their triples, formerly having them is not the same. Remember she has been issues even with the triple loop. Now Megan Duhamel did have the triple lutz.
Alaine already said she's doing another season, I believe.I wonder after WTT will Chartrand pack it in if she doesn't show some glimmer.
I really hope you are right. I love Alaine, and from my point of view I want her to keep skating indefinitely, though that's not possible. While I understand how emotions might hamper any action more or less, I think Alaine needs a psychologist even more than a coach. She is a gorgeous skater, but I suspect her head is not helping at all.Alaine already said she's doing another season, I believe.
What about Mervin Tran he always seems open to switching partners and countries and he has ties to Canada.

Julianne would have to compete as a single against the other Canadian girls and show she could be competitive. It's one thing to be able to do a lutz and quite another to deliver that lutz consistently in the context of a long program, along with all the other elements that she really hasn't been doing for the past 6 years. Perhaps that's why she has dismissed the idea of going back to singles.
Gabby has been posting more skating content on Instagram (which I love) and boy does it look like she’s trying to up her game for WTT.
She did a loop - her most inconsistent jump - with a beautiful entry. She also did a 2A-eu-3F combo and a 2A3T(tano). I don’t think we’ll be seeing her conventional jump layout at WTT.
