Hanna got pewter this year, but was 6th last year. And Angelina, 7th this year, won novice last year.
8 of these girls competed novice last year. I wish some of the novice programs were on YT, so I could see the growth over a year.

I think you mean 2013 Worlds. And I think both the previous FS cosume and the choreo is inspired by Yuna's Les Mis program, it's heartwarming to see.
Gosh, I have the tab open in this very window so you think I'd have checked first, I'm always horrible with dates. Thanks for the correction and lovely to hear that the choreo had some references to Yuna's program.
Oh that’s right! She’s had a stellar year. I hope she uses this disapointment to push her next year. She really is talented.
The same as Nathan, I suppose. Focus on improving her skills and USFS will give her Adv. novice comps next year.
Yeah. She got a lot of good experience this year. She's still young.
I wonder if she could get an international assignment at the Novice level. Canada's Stephen Gogolev was in the same situation a year ago. He did Bavarian Open as a novice and is competing as a senior at 12. And Michelle Kwan took her seniors test at 12.
It's a good question and one I imagine her coach and family are considering very carefully. Maybe the extra time will allow her to experiment and further develop her personal style.

I don't think there would be any harm staying junior again, as young as she is. then next year she can have her first international assignments and really work on components before she goes senior. i think it would be good prep for a future at senior.

I'm so glad I went to this event, I wasn't following novice closely last year so had a lot of wonderful new discoveries here. Of course there was Alysa, who was so exciting to watch (and had the whole arena behind her).
Ting and Pooja both had high, confident jumps and really stood out amongst the field. I thought Hanna had a great performance too, even with a fall right on the music.

I believe Alysa is better than Bradie Tennell, and afaik there is no age limits for Seniors in USA, so I want to see her competing in Seniors at next US Championships.

It really is a shame that Alysa cannot participate in international juniors next season, because she clearly has more than enough talent and ability to do so already. On the other hand, an additional season during which she might also take part in some international Advanced Novice competitions will make her even more ready for the 2019-2020 JGP circuit. It'll be interesting to see what the state of juniors is at that time and whether she'll actually be a favorite to medal(Or more?) at the big international junior events.

There aren't (or at least there weren't) age limits, but Alysa does NOT need to rush. I look at her and I desperately want her to have time to develop as a skate, not be pushed to senior to compete there for a few years before she can do anything international.
I'm tired of watching skaters show up at the international level and peak at age 15 and then go down hill. Medvedeva is the only Russian who's been able to hold a "peak" so far. In the meantime, skaters like Lipnitskaya, Radianova and Tutimysheva (sp) have one good year and they are done.
Figure skating should NOT be the race to the top that gymnastics is.
I definitely agree. I'd love to see her have a long and healthy career.
I see the infection known as russian hand over head tano has spread to US ladies now.
These are two armed jumps named Rippon. From Adam Rippon.
