Very very impressive, but seems like a good way to break an ankle!
Last year's plan worked out in the sense that her performance at Rostelecom appears to have lit a fire in her. If she qualifies for Nationals through Regionals/Sections she will "rightfully" have earned her spot. Sure she would ideally already be totally 100% so she has time to fine-tune her programs, but the alternative is not competing at a high level for another entire year, which I don't think would be productive physically or mentally.She needs to be ready by October if she wants to compete this season. It seems like the plan last year was to rush things and expect to get in form between Rostelecom and Nationals, and we all saw how that turned out. If she's sort of halfway there in the fall, she will miss the opportunity to make the modifications necessary to improve her programs because she will still be trying to improve her stamina and consistency with the jumps. She doesn't have to be the old Gracie to make it out of Regionals or Sectionals, but it's a standard that she needs to surpass to rightfully earn her spot at Nationals.

Based on what though? Inside info? I mean you could be totally right, but you can’t really judge based on her coach’s Instagram clips. She could have the stamina to get through a FS right now but may not be posting about it.
I have no inside info, but I would think she may have more stamina right now than anyone if she has been continuously training since last October and she only competed one SP last year so I believe she is keeping her short and long from last year.
The story of the fourth place American crumbling under pressure... IE Mirai...

That’s certainly a possibility. I think she did say she’s keeping her programs, but we don’t really know whether she has been training them consistently. She may have taken time off after competing in Russia. She may have focused on jumps and only trained parts of her program for awhile. So it’s hard to say. But I’m hoping we see her at regionals and that she does well!
Why elsa?I’m expecting Alysa or Hanna to receive their second assignments and the second spot to go to Lindsay, Elsa, or Ellen or... maybe a surprise.
Also, Starr said her next competition is in September so maybe she’s being sent to Lombardia Trophy in Italy. Starr was not sure if she was allowed to talk about it, so it’s safe to assume that it’s an international competition and not a domestic event due to its secrecy.
On an even more exciting note, the junior season will begin in FOUR days in which Hanna Harrell and Calista Choi will start their international season. JGP France will be Choi’s debut.
As mentioned earlier, Gracie doesn't have to be the Gracie of old - unless she wants to make the world team to get to Nationals. She can make it with easier jumps and the Gracier personality and style.

Just putting this out there..... hoping the next JGP assignments won't be chosen from politics
Just curious, are you talking about mjm?
I think you meant "make it to Nationals to get on the world team". She might make it to Nationals with easier jumps, although that depends on who she faces at Sectionals.
