Well, one good thing that came out of Nationals, is that Kaetlyn told Brian Williams that she is not retiring.Pribably it will be better next season. So don’t give up on the Canadian ladies yet.

I hope we see those stellar performances these ladies know how to deliver at Worlds. I'm sure Aurora Cotop or Veronik Mallet won't melt down like Alina Zagitova--they will certainly deliver!
Too many gloomy guses (I had to look up the plural of gloomy gus) on this thread. Anyone who didn't enjoy Aurora Cotop's performance is just a grouchy Grinch. Nice spring in her jumps, fine spins, good quality of movement.
Will she contend for the World Championship? Today she got the silver medal. Sufficient unto the day, and all that.
Yes, I was actually quite encouraged by a number of the younger skaters, like Cotop and Alison Schumaker (even if she didn't have the FS she was looking for). It's a bit of a rebuilding phase.
I think both ladies are with coaches that can get them to where they need to get long term.
Aurora had a pretty serious injury and is just coming back so she should be proud of her performances, I’m hoping Ravi can build her up. Alison just needs a bit more consistency, she has done 7 triple programs before and has vastly improved skating skills from last year.

Like I suspected the bronze medalist at Canadian Nationals scored less than the last place at Russian Nationals. It does not look promising when we think of Canadian chances to repeat the team success of Korean Olympics. Aurora has to develop fast and stay injury free - for me so far she is the only long-term hope.
I’m not worried! Four years ago everyone said the same thing! Plus let’s face it, all country’s have at least a shortfall in one if not two disciplines.
Canada did not in Korea - Russia did not in Sochi. Even in Korea Russian chances would have been higher if Mikha had not gone for 4Lz.
I just think of who can it be there. And see no one but Aurora. Of course, Kaetlyn could be a joker if she comes back.
