New Assignments for Team USA

Team USA assignments for upcoming international events are in. Everything looks to be pretty much by the book. I guess I was a little surprised to see Rachael Flatt missing from the junior worlds team (she seems to have that certain quality the USFSA usually likes to promote) but Ashley Wagner more than earned her spot this year.

So what’s the likelihood of the top three dropping out of Four Continents to focus on training for worlds? I’ve got to admit I hope it’s high. I’d like to see Bebe and Danielle’s season extend just a little bit longer. I’d also love to see Danielle get some international experience on the senior level.
