Bummer for Mok and AP. Who, if any, will replace them?

I can't even think of who they'd call for replacements at this point. Corwin has already gotten assignments, Donovan and Czisny are out because they aren't eligible to do both junior and senior GP events. Jennifer Don is next in line and might be a reasonable one to consider, but she's already had two senior internationals, she doesn't have the technical content to be competitive on the GP, and she has pairs to worry about (assuming Don & Hunt are training again?). Otherwise you've basically got Nikodinov, Gardiner, and Weber, none of whom has demonstrated that they belong on the GP at this point. So unless Don is sent, which may be a slim possibility (though less so after her iffy showing in Zagreb), I'd assume no one is stepping in.

I shouldn't even post this, but Michelle Kwan's schedule looks to be free...

The way things are going and learning from last year, I doubt MK would be rushing to help out in the GP series again like last year and end up accidentally qualifying for the Finals...although the Finals ARE being held at a more beneficial time as compared to last years...so who knows.

I think they should send Suzanne McDonald!! :) Sounds like she did pretty well at sectionals. Or maybe Tiffany St. Bernard, who had such a great fall season. I know my suggestions sound like a joke, but I actually think they could do quite well on the GP!
